Please note that this Carchip has been replaced by the CarChip Pro
With the basic CarChip, 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! (When full, CarChip "rolls over" and begins to overwrite the oldest data with the newest.)
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
With CarChip, you can test your vehicle's emission status (or see if the used car will pass the smog test before you buy it!), sort business and personal miles, and calculate gas mileage.
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.
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.
Includes:
- Data logger
- Software on CD
- USB cable for downloading data.
Requires Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP and one USB port.

Vehicle Conflicts and Exclusions
There are a few vehicles in which CarChip does not function properly, and there are others in which CarChip may interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle. Please review the list of known CarChip Vehicle Conflicts and Exclusions before purchasing or using CarChip.
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 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.

CarChip® Vehicle Conflicts and Exclusions
CarChip has been carefully designed and tested to comply with OBDII protocols J1850-41.6, J1850-10.4, ISO9141, KWP2000 (ISO14320), and CAN (ISO
11898), which are 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 a 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 exclusions, conflicts, and anomalies below.
Unless specified otherwise, the list applies to all versions of CarChip, whether they are downloaded via serial port or USB.
This list is current to the best of our knowledge as of the time of publication. However, given the thousands of vehicle models produced since 1996, no list can be completely comprehensive. For more information on OBDII issues and anomalies in general, we recommend The Equipment and Tool Institute's website at 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.
Non-Support Vehicles:
Ford 7.2L CAT 3126 Diesel Engines
CarChip is not supported in these vehicles.
Tiptronic® Transmissions
CarChip may cause vehicle hesitation or stuttering when used in 2003 or earlier model-year vehicles with Tiptronic transmissions. Developed by Audi and included on many of their vehicles, a Tiptronic transmission is one in which the driver may switch from a manual transmission to an automatic transmission while driving. Please check your vehicle's owner's manual to see if your vehicle has a Tiptronic transmission. We have not resolved this issue, and we recommend that you not use CarChip in vehicles with Tiptronic transmissions.
Incomplete Data Collection
Some drivers of 1997-1998 Fords and Mazdas have reported that the trip time and selected engine parameters are recorded by CarChip, but vehicle speed is not.
Isolated or Intermittent Issues
Some drivers have reported occasional incidences of the following. If these or any other issues occur while you are driving, please remove the CarChip immediately or as soon as it is safe to do so, and contact our Technical Support Department.
- 1996 Mercedes Benz "C" Class: May cause the "Check Engine" light to turn on when the CarChip is inserted.
- 2002-2004 Chrysler and Dodge: May cause a momentary loss of engine power in some models.
- 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer & Evolution: May cause vehicle instrument gauges to "freeze up."
Using CarChip with Other Aftermarket Products
CarChip may not operate properly or may cause unexpected vehicle behavior if it is used in conjunction with other aftermarket products that also use theODBII port or communicate with the vehicle's on-board computers. Examples of these include remote starters, keyless entry systems, and some alarm systems. If you are using any of these aftermarket products, we recommend that you remove them from your vehicle before using CarChip.
Firmware Note
Some vehicle types have known compatibility issues with older versions of CarChip software and firmware. These vehicle types are:
- Hybrid Gas/Electric Vehicles: These vehicles are supported in CarChip software version 2.1.1 or later and CarChip Firmware version 2.17 or later.
- Chevrolet, Dodge, GMC, Pontiac, Toyota Highlander, or Toyota Celica: Firmware versions of CarChip earlier than 2.17 may cause some or all of the dashboard lights to flash occasionally in some models. Use CarChip firmware version 2.17 or later.
Vehicles Manufactured for Sale Outside the US & Canada
While vehicles manufactured for sale outside the US and Canada may appear to have an ODBII port, they may not use the same protocols, and thus may not be compatible with CarChip. For vehicles manufactured for sale in Europe, some 1996-1999 vehicles may be compatible; most 2000 and later vehicles should be compatible. Since requirements vary by country, vehicles manufactured for sale elsewhere in the world may or may not be compatible.
Additional Exclusions for the Serial-Port Version of CarChip
Our original CarChip models (# 8210, 8220, and 8240), which are downloaded using a serial-port cable, are not compatible with the new CAN (ISO 11898) protocol, which is being phased on newer vehicles. Our current CarChip models (# 8211, 8221, 8225, 8241, and 8245), which are down-loaded via a USB cable, are compatible with the CAN protocol. If you have a vehicle that uses the CAN protocol, you cannot use a serial-port version of Car- Chip; you must use a USB-version. Check our website for updates on exclusions over the coming year.
