Drive Right CarChipE/X

I searched and found 3 old postings regarding the Drive Right CarChipE/X but nothing indicating anyone had tried it. Has anyone given the product a try? If so, comments???

Thanks

No this is a chip that installs in the OBDII connections that monitors trip time and date, distance, speed, hard accelerations and decelerations, and engine diagnostic trouble codes, RPM, throttel position etc.

f^ck chips they don't work, you don't find anything about them because everyone knows they are just stupid resistors added to the ecu and do absolutely nothing.

You generally don't use chips until everything else has been done to the car. Should be a last mod if at all.

and most of the time you should never be done with the car, you will always want to tweak it in some other way. And most of the time get tired of it and move to another car before you can get anywhere near being finished.

Wow did you guys even read his post? He’s not talking about a performance chip. He talking about a chip that monitors his cars performance not one that actually enhances it.
