Award-winning CarChip—finalist in
TechTV’s 2003 Best of CES awards and winner of SEMA 2003 Best Engineered
New Product—consists of a tiny “black box” data logger, a CD with software
for analyzing the data, and a cable and power adapter for downloading. The
data logger plugs into the OBDII connector in your car, where it
continuously collects and stores data from the car’s computer control
systems.
On-board diagnostics data was usually available only to professional
mechanics. But with the award winning CarChip, this same data can
easily be accessed within your grasp. CarChip can be easily plugged
instantly into the OBDII connector in your car. It will then
continuously retrieve and stores data from the car's computer control
system.

Important
Safety Notice
CarChip has been
carefully designed and tested to comply with the OBDII protocols used on
most cars and light trucks sold in the USA, model-year 1996 or later.
However, some vehicle models are not in full compliance with these
protocols. In addition, the computer control systems on any given vehicle
may be malfunctioning or out of spec, as may be the sensors used by these
systems.
Before
installing CarChip, be sure to review the list of known vehicle exclusions
and anomalies (see the link above). For more information on OBDII issues
and anomalies in general, we recommend The Equipment and Tool Institute's
website at
http://www.etools.org/.
While our
testing and the experience of thousands of CarChip users have shown the
unit to be safe and reliable, there is an inherent risk in adding any
aftermarket product that may potentially affect the operation or
drivability of your vehicle. Should you be concerned about the
operation of your vehicle at any time while using CarChip, you should pull
over, off the roadway, immediately or as soon as it is safe to do so.
Remove CarChip from the OBDII port and consult a licensed mechanic or
automobile service center.
