    Hi @TMR-JWAP ,

    It allows you to scan 3 vehicles unlimited times, forever.
    to scan on more than 3 vehicles, you will have to purchase the repair shop version.
    btw, the Android version is more feature rich and cheaper too.

    Hi @Eric 808,

    Couple of things you could try for spotty connection to a Prius:
    1. unplug 12V battery for 10 minutes, this will reset and clean-up all the junk data clogging the network.
    2. make sure there isn't loose wire on the OBD2 socket, sometime you might have dirt built up on the socket too.
    3. "reset network setting" on your device (it's in the Settings), this will clean-up all the junk connection from your phone that conflicting with the Bluetooth connection.

    Usually these will fix the problem, there is also a chance that adapter is bad, but I haven't seem it happened on Carista adapter yet.

    hope this helps, drop me an email at [email protected] and keep me posted.

    Best,
    Jack

    The personal license (12.99 for iOS, 9.99 for Android) is limited to 3 vehicles (lock on VIN). The repair shop license is unlimited.
    also, most features are free of charge, only the two tests need to be in-app-purchased.

    Hi Eric, Dr. Prius only works on Toyota/Lexus hybrid, any other non-hybrid like Altima won't work.

    I have the Nexas Nexlink 5.0 adaptor.
    It wasn’t the cheapest but works great
    On my 2005 with an iPhone 6s with Dr.Prius and ODB Fusion.
