Ever since strict standards came into play, cars have been using the OBD (on-board diagnostics) computer to log certain information. Well, tapping into that on-board diagnostics computer can tell you a lot about your vehicle.

And what’s really cool about the Car Chip Pro is that it is so easy to use. If you look under your dash on the driver’s side, you will notice what looks kind of like a printer parallel port. This is the OBD interface. All you have to do is plug the CarChip into that port and you’re off and running. It will record 300 hours of all kinds of data. And the included software and usb port make hooking the Car Chip a cinch.

Features and Specs:

  • Up to 300 hours of trip details (newest data records over oldest)
  • Complete trip details including time/date, distance traveled, speed (1- or 5-second intervals)
  • Log up to 4 of 23 engine parameters
  • Provides individual graphs and summary reports
  • Records/shows extreme acceleration/braking
  • Allows user-set thresholds for audible alarms, speed, acceleration, and braking (post-drive reports/graphs show when, for how long, and number of times thresholds were exceeded)
  • Automatic accident log with last 20 seconds speed data before impact
  • Assign trips as business/commute/personal
  • Calculate gas mileage
  • View/Reset engine diagnostic trouble codes (check-engine light)
