Motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of teenagers and young adults. Don't wait tor a speeding ticket—or worse—to find out how your teen Is driving. You can't be with your teens on every trip they take. But CarChip Pro can. Use CarChip Pro to set up your own graduated licensing program. Designate the number of driving hours and specific performance required for advancement to the next level. Review speed, accelera­tions, and decelerations for each trip, with quick starts and hard brakings highlighted in red. All the information you need is just a mouse-click away. As your teens improve, lift restrictions as a reward, or reinstate them if they need more practice. And just in case your teen is tempted to sneak in a few rides without CarChip Pro, the unit will log the time and date every time it is disconnected Old spark plugs can reduce fuel economy by 30%; a faulty oxygen sensor by 40%. Save money and lime by keeping your car In peak running condition. CarChip Pro can help by detecting malfunctions early and taking the guesswork out of diagnosing problems. CarChip Pro records data from the car's computer con­trol sensors every few seconds, on each and every trip. With CarChip Pro, you can log any 4 out of 23 possible engine parameters, all of which can affect operation, emissions, and fuel economy. If your car's check engine light comes on. use the software to view the trouble code, its description, and the freeze-frame sen­sor readings. You'll have the information you need to diagnose and fix the problem and, CarChip Pro will even let you turn the check engine light off when you're done! 50% of the emissions from late-model vehicles are due to malfunctions. A smoothly running engine not only saves money, It also helps save the environment. Your car's check engine light comes on whenever emissions exceed times the federal stan­dards for that model-year. But don't wait for the check engine light to come on. When there's a malfunction in your car's sensors, the engine burns more gas and exhausts more pollutants. With CarChip Pro, you can keep an eye on selected engine parameters—so you'll always know whether or not your car is running cleanly. For example, you can tell how efficient your catalytic converter is by keeping an eye on oxygen sensor voltage. Replacing a bad converter can reduce hydrocarbon emissions by 33% or more. A single at-fault accident can raise insurance premiums dramatically. Not at fault? CarChip Pro can give you the information you need to settle a contested Insurance claim. Most cars sold today are equipped with "black boxes." But there's no simple way for you to access the information they record. CarChip Pro puts this information into your hands, instead of the hands of the automaker or some big insurance company. Whenever there's an accident, CarChip Pro automatically logs the last critical 20 seconds of speed. You can also see when the brakes were applied. And. if you're monitoring throttle position, you'll see that, too. But don't wait for an accident. By showing exactly how your car is being driven, CarChip Pro can help convince drivers to change their habits. Or it just might be an eye-opener for yourself!

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.

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 the ODBII 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.
