Interested in wifi model for ios iphone and ipad: does it work with the carista app?

Yes, it works with Carista.But, it takes 5-15 minutes to finish the scan. During this time, phone must remain unlocked and unsued. No other apps can be used, otherwise it loses connection.

On iphone this uses wifi and when your connected to wifi the iphone will not use 3g/4g so no data on the iphone any way around this?

Yes, go into Settings on your iPhone. Click on the WiFi settings and then tap the "WIFI-OBDII" wireless network (the one created by the Veepeak device.) Click on the "i" with a circle around it to get to the detail settings for the device. In "IP Address" enter 192.168.0.150. For "Subnet Mask" enter 255.255.255.0. For "Router" enter 192.168.0.10. Now your iPhone will use those settings to talk to the Veepeak unit while still having 3G/4G data available for Pandora, iHeartRadio, surfing the web, etc.

Does t power itself down, or do I need to remove it from car when not in use?

I tested this by leaving it plugged in car and I removed my car keys, but when I searched for the wifi name through my phone, it was showing in the list of wifi devices. this means that it definitely taps some juice from car battery. don't leave it plugged in.

what is the best app for iphone or ipad?

I use the Torque paid app. There may be better out there but this one is good.
