READ YOU CAR’S MIND

Software, USB cable connectors and an AC adapterWant to pay much less tax?

Need to monitor people who drive your cars -- but put off by the high costs of tachometers and GPS systems?

Tired of always having to take your car into the dealer, when some warning light comes on – and wish you could self-diagnose and correct?

Take a closer look at the revolutionary CarChip, the most cost effective vehicle data logger in the world. Winner of multiple awards for technological innovation, CarChip is the world’s first consumer OBD II reader and data logger, and it is now available in South Africa.

If your car is less than 5 years old, you have an on-board diagnostics system -- (OBD II) -- built in! OBD II provides information about every aspect of your car's performance – and CarChip is the only affordable device that lets you access that information. You really can ‘read’ what your car is up to – in fact OBD II monitors hundreds of engine functions, second by second.

From a tax point of view, Trevor Manual’s 2005 and 2006 budgets have made travel allowances almost redundant, unless you keep a logbook. By keeping a logbook, you can still claim for any legitimate business trip – and you don’t have to clock up the ‘deemed private’ 18,000km before you can get any tax relief.
CarChip is the only digital in-car data logger on the market in South Africa, and it makes it painless to keep accurate records of all your trips. With 300 hours of drive-time recording, you only need to download your travel data every month or so – and downloading takes 10 seconds, onto a laptop or desktop with a USB cable.

CarChip is compatible with over 95% of new model SA cars, and about 75% of all cars less than 5 years old in South Africa. Although we are still compiling a compatibility list, click on CARCHIP COMPATIBLE VEHICLES IN SOUTHERN AFRICA to see what we do know about South African compatibility.
