Vehicle ID Name Column

Each vehicle in the CarChip database is primarily identified by the vehicle identification number (VIN). In some cases your CarChip will be able to read the VIN via the OBDII port, but not all manufacturers have implemented this feature. In most cases you will need to manually enter a VIN number for each vehicle, or other number by which you can uniquely identify each vehicle. In addition to the VIN, you can also give each vehicle a name which will be used to identify the vehicle in reports.
