The hardware electrical signals of the OBD is standard, the difference is that every manufacturer is free to implement additional software protocol for their own cars/trucks beside the required emissions/diagnostics to configure different options, so it comes out to the software like Carista.

Thanks for confirming everything is working with the 6th gen. I emailed Carista last week and they said it wasn't supported yet.

2025 4Runner SR5
I have the SR5 variant of the 2025 4Runner. I recently purchased a Carista Evo dongle since I had previously used a similar dongle in the past to modify my 5th gen 4Runner. Figured that I'd check out what options are available in and I found out a bunch of different options that are toggleable.

Some highlights here are:
Disabling seatbelt chime (multiple settings for each seat/row)
Disabling Engine Sound Enhancement (I didn't think my SR5 had it active but the car is notably quieter and less buzzy without this enabled)
Enabling physical key window up and down
Enabling remote all window down (California mode)


Super straightforward to plug in the Carista and it was simple enough to toggle and scroll through these settings. I fully intend on only purchasing a month of their subscription here since you do need it to toggle all of the customizations available. I have yet to find another dongle that can do all of this that doesn't have a subscription so it is what it is.

Attaching some photos of the dongles and user interface. If you guys are interested in a sound comparison between ESE on or off I can see about grabbing one later this week.

Where do you buy it and how were you able to pick just a 1 month subscription?

Great thread. Because of this, I got one myself. Carista shipped super fast. And they have that discounted combo deal for an entire year of service. Super straightforward to set up, Bluetooth connect and boom. Registers your VIN automatically and off to the races.

The roll all- windows down with a long hold, including sunroof, is awesome.

Question though, I don’t see any Carista options about rolling the trunk hatch window down? Does anybody see if that exists?

Would be cool if that was part of the all m-windows down feature. As it stands, it’s just all four windows and the sunroof.

Thanks all
