Welcome to CarChip

Walkthrough Sequence

The dialog boxes included in the express walkthrough vary depending on the CarChip model you have and whether your CarChip is connected to your computer.

Available when CarChip is plugged in:

CarChip Parameter Report - Displays the vehicle data parameters the CarChip has been set to record, if any are available.

CarChip/Choose Other Parameters - Set vehicle data parameters that the CarChip records. You can select up to four different parameters in addition to vehicle speed to record.

Note: This dialog box displays only for CarChip models E/X or higher.

Anomalous Vehicles - Specify the vehicle in which the CarChip will be used. Some vehicles have special OBDII communication properties. By selecting a vehicle name from the list, you are configuring the CarChip data logger to adjust to that vehicle's unique communication features.

CarChip software features:

Add Driver/Vehicle ID - Add, delete, or edit the list of drivers and vehicles using the CarChip data logger.

CarChip Download - Lets you download the CarChip if it already has available data.
