I have thought about purchasing the Carista. Can everyone who has one list some of the things you've done to your car with this app?

I have copy-pasted from the Carista LS page. Many of these options can otherwise only be changed by the dealer, so the app should be useful. Plus one can read diagnostic codes etc.


Customizations
This is a sample list of available customization settings for a Lexus Ls460 2013. This should be used as an example only. Your vehicle may have more or fewer (or different) customization options, depending on the exact model, year, factory options, target market, etc.

So help me out here. It may be a play on words but it's hard to tell when testing this. But I want my headlights to come on as soon as possible using the AUTO light sensor. My options say 1 2 3 4 5. Do I want to have mine set at 1 or 5? I assume LIGHTEST is 5 right?
