CarChip Requirements, Conflicts and Exclusions:

The CarChip requires your car to have an OBDII port (standard on most cars manufactured in the US or Canada in 1996 and newer.  It doesn’t work with the following vehicles:

  • Ford 7.2L CAT 3126 Diesel Engines
  • BMW 530XI, 2007 Models
  • Pontiac Grand Prix, 2004 Models
  • 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.

If you are 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.
  • Consult a licensed mechanic or automobile service center.
