That's a bummer that you can't roll it back up either.
Does it roll all windows down or just the back window?
Does anybody use Carista?

I rarely use the feature, actually, and I don't recall the rear glass rolling down. Maybe it does, but I really don't recall it doing that. I know that it rolls the fronts down first, then the 2nd row doors come on a second or two after.
There's a thread about this feature being bad when you have your keyfob in your pocket and its rainy/snowy outside! Someone had theirs open all the windows while it was raining as the keyfob's button was depressed in his pocket.
Because I never really use the feature, I've turned it off completely.

I was in the same boat having retired all Windows operating systems in my household. I considered buying a cheap, used PC to run Techstream, but after a little poking around on the web, I was pleased with how quickly I was able to get it working on my Mac with VirtualBox. It seems somewhat laggy and clunky running it this way through VirtualBox, but having no previous experience with Techstream, it's an acceptable solution for me.
I am very satisfied with Carista. I'm using it with a cheap veepeak VP-01 OBD connector I got on Amazon, and my Ipad. The app connected immediately and downloaded all the available customized settings......no more than 20 seconds. I made quite a few changes, and each saved within 5 seconds. No need to disconnect/reconnect the adaptor each time. I went right from one setting to the next. In the end, I tested each of the changes, and they all stuck. Considering $16 for the adaptor and $20 for the app, I couldn't be happier.
No more seat belt warnings and eco light. Windows roll down with remote and with finger on handle. Lock chirp is much quieter. AC does not come on each time I press the auto button, doors all lock/unlock together, etc. Lots of great customizable settings.

Just got a Carista module for my birthday, purchased the "pro" upgrade in the App so I could apply changes to my vehicle. Made a few changes, but the ONE change that I really wanted this for doesn't appear to be available (or maybe I'm just not paying attention close enough).
UNLOCK ALL DOORS AT THE SAME TIME
My wife is about to kill me b/c I always forget to double click the remote to unlock all doors and I leave her hanging on the passenger side as well as the kiddos. Please tell me this is possible?
I see post above mine where someone mentions this IS possible, but it appears its on a Limited, whereas, I'm in a TRDPRO. Thoughts?

I just got my new 4Runner, and used the Carista app yesterday, too. I was also disappointed to see that I couldn't set the one tap to unlock all doors. Same deal, someone reaches for the door handle when they hear the first beep and it isn't unlocked.

Not possible. There's a thread somewhere about this not being an added feature.

The windows down feature using the remote only rolls down the side windows on my '14 TEP. The sunroof and rear glass do not go down. My coworker with a '16 SR5 Premium is the same. She did however have an option for auto headlights and said that the headlights now come on automatically at night.

Rolls all of my windows down 15' SR5. I love having it for camping so I can turn the horribly obnoxious beeping when locking/unlocking off while were in the woods then back on when its mall crawling.

I just received the carista module today and have only started to use the paid app for it but so far so good. I just turned off my seatbelt chime and took a few screenshots of other options you can change.
Its worth it to me to just to move "auto lock doors when shift to park" OFF! Thats crazy to have your car unlocked just because you shift to park. Our Lexus does not do that thankfully.

I've used Carista with the cheap, blue ELM327 unit and it works just fine. Recently got a new OBDii dongle, its the ScanTool OBDLink MX unit (bought this one HERE ), doesn't work any better or worse for Carista, but the Torque app is almost instantaneous with its data now!
Carista's okay for changing stuff on the vehicle from your phone, but if you have the techstream cable/software, that works a lot better and you get ALL of the options, as Carista doesn't allow you to access all of them.
Not saying anything bad about Carista, it does something that no other app seems to be able to do, but if you want to control everything, the techstream cable/software is the only thing right now that will do it.

On my 2010 I can turn it off with the trip meter reset stick thingy (the correct name escapes me at the moment). Can you not do that?

Keep tapping the trip reset button (on gauge cluster) until it says ECO ON. Long press to say ECO OFF.

On my 16, I was able to turn off the Eco light by going into the settings menu of the gauge display. Must be different than the earlier models- simply keep going through the different milage/trip timer displays while in park, until you see the settings option. There is an Eco light option in there.
