I wondered about this option as well, Carista is on its way to me right now.
I am very interested in getting this ap, but I'm a blackberry guy, anyone in Atlantic Canada have it?

I REALLY hope you turn your driving lights OFF when there is oncoming traffic.... here in N Y that is against the law ....

Nope, don't turn them off at all. It is legal in Oklahoma to have them on and drive with them. We can have up to 4 forward facing lights on at once here in Oklahoma.

About every 5th vehicle is like that here, no issue, I think you may be thinking of the high beams?

I regularly drive with my fog lights on in NY. Never had an issue.

No. Not unless you program them otherwise.

Pet hate of mine...people driving with fog lights on when there is no fog....but, having said that, if it is not illegal where you live then what's the problem? You will be able to have them come on automatically using the carista app on iphone/android. If you don't have these then surely a friend does? Oh, you also need the Carista OBDII adaptor...good luck.
