CarChip
A Black Box For Your Car
 

The CarChip package consists of a tiny "black box" data logger (about the size of two 9-volt batteries stacked together), a CD with software for analyzing the data, and a connecting cable and power adapter. The data logger plugs into the OBDII connector in your car, and continuously collects and stores data from the car's computer control systems. Later, you use the cable and power adapter to download the information to your PC.

• Speed at which you drove (recorded every five seconds)
• Number of times you either braked hard or accelerated quickly.
• View all of this information 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.
• View the check engine light's diagnostic trouble code, get "freeze-frame" sensor readings telling you the status of various engine parameters at the time the problem occurred, and reset the light.

How It Works:

The CarChip plugs into the OBDII connector in your car, and continuously collects and stores data from the car's computer control systems. Later, you use the cable and power adapter to download the information to your PC.
 

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.
2. Plug the data logger in. A gentle push is all it takes.
3. Start driving. That's all there is to it! The data logger will start collecting data as soon as you start driving.
4. Install the software, connect the CarChip and download the data to your PC.
