CarChip Pro - All-in-One Eco-Driving Data Logger


CarChip Pro is a compact interactive data-logger (about 1/2 the size of a Zippo lighter) that will record detailed information about the way you drive - directly from your car's ECM computer. Perfect for consumers and fleet owners looking to closely monitor their driving behavior and improve their driving habits. The recorded data can be downloaded to your PC for analysis using the included CarChip Pro software.

It is easy to install, requires no extra wires or batteries (an included USB cable is all that is needed to download the data to your computer), and can be installed in your vehicle in just a few seconds using the OBDII port that is standard on most cars since 1996 (with some exclusions).

Testimonials & Case Studies

"We started with 25 CarChips. Our objective was to alert employees to bad driving habits. We also wanted the forensics, or history, of any accident. My car was one of the first to receive a CarChip. I was delighted to find that installation was as easy as the company promised – you just plug CarChip into the port under the steering wheel – that's it!"
- Jarl Saal, Owner of First Alarm

"Our employees are like family members to us and we let them know that they are the public face of Anchor Pest Control. It’s very important for us to be responsive and keep our vehicles performing at their best too. Our drivers know that I will be uploading the CarChip information to make sure both the vehicle and they are working at their highest level."
- Don Wolf, Owner of Anchor Pest Control

Proven, Affordable, and Effective

Davis Instruments has been making the CarChip line of data loggers for nearly a decade, they are time-tested, reliable, and have already been installed in tens of thousands of vehicles - including in the fleets of some of the largest companies in the world. They are made in the USA and sold around the world. It's a product that is proven, mature, and well supported by the manufacturer.

The CarChip Pro is one of the least expensive interactive data loggers on the market, with a low up-front cost-per-unit and no expensive cellular fees or yearly contracts, making it attractive to parents with new teenage drivers, eco-driving consumers, driving school owners, and small business fleet owners.

For larger fleets, or fleets with additional requirements - there is a commercial CarChip Fleet Pro version with more memory, fleet management software, complete GPS logging, a WIFI wireless download option, and a driver identification "smart-card" system. Contact us for more information.

Because the CarChip Pro is programmable, you can use it to collect information you are particularly interested in - this is why it's so valuable to us as an eco-driving tool. We have tested and developed a multi-tier "eco-driving profile" that can be set on each CarChip, allowing you to set your own eco-driving goals and measure your driving performance at a high level of detail.
