GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I just saw this on Tech TV, so I thought I'd pass it along to my fellow Vibe owners. It doesnt give you more HP, but it tells you the performance of your car and if anything is wrong, will show up in red. You plug it into the engine port under the steering wheel, and then download the info onto your PC. Pretty cool. And they make two models. They work with most cars 96 and newer. http://www.thecarchip.com/CarChip.asp?Os=CcEx

I saw the same story on techTV. Very interested in the product. But it appears that it will only collect data that occurs when you are driving with it installed. When I had my wife's Altima in for a check engine checkup, the tech using his OBDII reader was able to tell me the engine light had come on "11 starts ago", what set it off, that the car had been over-reved 4 times (beyond recommended break-in period RPMs), and a few other things that "had" occured in the altima before he checked it.That's the kind of Info I'd like to see if my car stores. If this device could also do a read of the car computer's past data, then I'd buy one in a flash.KSNeptune
