For this tutorial you will need:

  1. An OBD adapter
    • either a generic ELM327 adapter, or Carista's adapter.
  2. An Android or iOS smartphone

Download and Launch Carista App

Go to your app store and download Carista app (iOS) (Android), it is free.

Insert You OBD Adapter Into the Car's OBD Port

Consult your owners manual, if you can't find it.

Launch the App and Click on "Is My VW or Audi Affected?"

N.B. You can also enter the information manually without an adapter, however I highly suggest the automatic option as it is more precise.
