Car Chip Pro
Ever wondered how your car is really performing under the hood? Does your car’s fuel consumption seem to be higher than it’s actually supposed to be? We all know that cars are rather stingy with their precious informational data and normally, we get only the basic aspects: speed, fuel, odometer and engine temperature. If that is not enough for you, the all -in-one Driving and Engine Performance Monitor from Davis Instruments just might be the perfect gadget to splurge on for yourself.
No tools or automotive expertise are needed. You just have to plug Car Chip Pro into the OBDII port (easily found under the dashboard or steering wheel) and it reads and stores data from your car’s on-board computers, continuously logging driving and engine performance. This data is easily downloadable to your PC, and consists of up to 300 hours of trip details, complete trip details including time/date, distance traveled, speed (1- or 5-second intervals), records of extreme acceleration/braking, automatic accident log with last 20 seconds speed data before impact, as well as gas mileage calculation.
This geeky gadget is a great way to keep track of the well being and condition of your vehicle, as well as your own or others’ driving habits (very effective for worried parents of new drivers). It’s available in online stores for about USD$120 (RM378).

You should check out CarCheckup (www.carcheckup.com) It is an easy to use product that charts driver performance AND tells you why your check engine light is on. It’s pretty spiffy.
