Spy Review

This is not just a vehicle tracking device which will tell you where a car is, if you were following one. It is something quite different. Suppose you are the parent of teens who use your car, or even if they have their own and you would like to know how they use it. Or you own a car or vehicle renting company and would like to keep an eye out on your drivers so that you get the best use out of your car and also monitor any drivers who may be driving recklessly or not using the best driving norms. Then the CarChip Pro may be the device for your car.

It keeps a check on everything you (or the driver of the car) do while driving. What does it do? It monitors all the driving and engine performance, the acceleration, the quick and hard braking, the driving speed, the time and distance. For example, if there is an accident, valuable data can be recovered from it of the last 20 seconds.

This little device stores up to 300 hours of data and can tell you details of each trip, with individual graphs, gas mileage, emission status reports and a view of engine diagnostic trouble codes. You can set audible alarms for speed, acceleration and braking, so the driver will know when he is going over the limit and change his driving pattern. The engine diagnostic will help in case there is any engine trouble or malfunction. The size of the CarChip device means it can be easily used for covert tracking.

Four out of 23 engine parameters can be set (they can be changed each tracking session), including RPM, throttle position, engine load, fuel pressure, fuel trim, battery voltage, etc. These will help you get more out of your car and also warn you if there is any possibility of a car problem.

It is of use to time and speed conscious as well as environmentally friendly consumers. And for parents of teens, it can prove a boon.

To sum up, this device can be considered a tracking device but with the nitty-gritty that cannot be tracked with a normal tracking device.
