CarChip™

Sale only $115.00 (MSRP $139.00) Wind 'N Go crank flashlight

With the upgraded basic CarChip (8211), the data logger will store up to 75 hours of trip details before you'll need to download. If you drive, on average, two hours a day, that's over a month's worth of driving data!

You can view all of this graphically on your computer screen, giving you a moment-by-moment picture of how you—or perhaps your employees or the teenagers in your household—are driving.

You'll get complete trip details including:
Time and date for each trip
Distance traveled
Speed (recorded every 5 seconds)
Hard brakings and quick accelerations
If the vehicle's check engine light (also known as a malfunction indicator light or MIL) comes on, you'll be able to:
Read the diagnostic trouble code (or DTC).
Get the "freeze-frame" sensor readings telling you the status of various engine parameters at the time.
Reset the light.

CarChip™

On-board diagnostics (OBD) data was once available only to professional mechanics. With CarChip, this same data is now in your hands. CarChip plugs instantly into the OBDII connector in your car, where it continuously collects and stores data from the car's computer control system.

Consumer Versions of CarChip include the CarChip data logger, a CD with software for analyzing the data, and a cable for downloading. We have CarChip available in two models:

CarChip™ basic with 75 hours of trip details, including time and date, distance, speed, idle time, hard accelerations and decelerations, and engine diagnostic trouble codes.

CarChipE/X™ with 300 hours of trip details. All the details of standard CarChip, plus an accident log and the ability to monitor any 4 out of 23 user-selectable engine parameters.

The CarChip and CarChip E/X Feature Easy Plug-and-Go Installation.

1.   Locate your car’s OBDII connector. It’s found in the passenger compartment of all cars sold today, model-year 1996 or later, no more than three feet from the driver’s seat.

How Can CarChip Help You?

Parents with Teen Drivers

By monitoring the whole family’s driving performance, CarChip can help encourage teens to drive safely—and it may just help save your teen’s life.

In the U.S., many states have set up graduated licensing programs for teen drivers. Newly-licensed drivers are typically allowed to drive unsupervised only during daytime hours, and must remain free of at-fault accidents for at least twelve consecutive months before advancing to a full unrestricted license. Even if you live in a state without these restrictions, CarChip can help you set up your own graduated licensing program. You could, for example, designate a minimum number of driving hours, along with specific performance requirements, before you allow your teen to advance to the next level.

With CarChip, you’ll have all the information you need, just a mouse-click away. Together, you and your teen can view the speed, distance, accelerations, and decelerations for each trip, with each quick start and hard braking highlighted in red. As your teen grows in experience, skills, and maturity, you can lift restrictions as a reward for good driving, or reinstate them if you think that he or she needs a little more practice. And, just in case your teen’s tempted to sneak in a few rides without CarChip, the unit will log the date and time every time it is disconnected.

Cost-Conscious Consumers

CarChip can help cost-conscious consumers save money by keeping an eye on how their cars are being driven, pinpointing needed repairs, and providing valuable data in the case of an accident.

Aggressive driving costs money: high speeds waste gas and accelerate tire deterioration; sudden starts and stops increase tire wear; and revving the engine not only wastes gas, but also increases engine wear and can cause the catalytic converter to overheat.

With graphs showing speed, acceleration, deceleration, and idle time for each trip, CarChip can let you see exactly how your car is being driven. It may help you convince a family member or an employee to change their driving habits, or it might just be an eye-opener for yourself.

Do-It-Yourselfers

CarChip can help do-it-yourself mechanics keep their cars running at peak performance. By detecting malfunctions early and taking the guesswork out of diagnosing problems, unlike the hand-held scan tools designed for use in the garage or during a limited test drive, CarChip remains in your car continuously, recording data from the car’s computer control sensors every few seconds, on every trip.

In addition to monitoring speed, distance, acceleration, and deceleration, CarChipE/X will let you log any 4 out of 23 possible engine parameters, all of which can affect operation, emissions, and fuel economy. This can help you diagnose and fix problems, eliminating “guess-and-replace” repairs.

If your car’s check engine light comes on, you can use the CarChip software to view the trouble code, its description, and the associated freeze-frame sensor readings.

Time-Pressured Commuters

In these time-crunched days, CarChip can help time-pressured commuters avoid unnecessary trips to the repair shop—saving both time and money. At the same time, CarChip can help keep the costs of driving down by making sure that commuters’ cars get the repairs they need, when they need them.

Environmentally-Aware Drivers

If you're concerned about the environment, you shouldn't wait for the engine check light to come on. Instead, you should make sure that your car is running as cleanly as possible at all times, and this is where CarChip can help.

CarChip collects the data from your car's computer control systems. These systems continuously adjust the engine's operation to keep everything within spec. When there's a malfunction the computer sets the fuel/air mixture rich. The engine will continue to operate, but you're burning more gas and exhausting more pollutants.

With CarChipE/X, you can avoid these problems by keeping an eye on selected engine parameters. For example, you can choose to record and graph oxygen sensor voltage readings over time, which can tell you how efficiently your catalytic converter is working.

When you make sure that your car is in good running condition, you not only help the environment, you also save money. Emissions-related repairs can increase fuel efficiency by as much as 13%; in many cases, fuel savings will completely offset the repair costs.

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.

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.

Report any issues or concerns to our Technical Support Dept. at 510-732-7814 or support@davisnet.com. We are open Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time. We maintain an active database of the feedback we receive, and your comments can help us continuously improve the product.
