My engine chipping experience so far

[mark360]

As mentioned, it can be. Cost you about $25.00 from Jaycar.

We have had all of 1x chip come back to us for warranty due to water ingress. Seems like our limited water proofing methods work so no need to change it.

As mentioned the unit CAN be fitted inside the cabin or buy a JayCar case if they have concerns.

You have had me an others address all of your concerns a few times over but still that does not prompt you to write and say thanks for the explanations.

Bagging and stating facts is a thin line remember..

Like many others, I have been watching this post with interest. I think it is time we ALL moved on wiith the thread subject and got these "chips" off our shoulders.

Clearly it cant be put into a waterprooof housing ...

I can vouch for chip it and there refund policy. I wasnt happy with my chip and chip it allowed me to claim the "money back" no questioned asked.

I will be more than happy to buy it again once those few minor issues get ironed out.

Puregeek, if you with to give it another go, I'll pay for the freight to you and returned if it has not been solved.

im no longer a potential customer so theyre really just out of curiosity...

There is definitely no pressure to buy our chip so please feel free to buy a less featured chip that also comes without water proof case, not made or assembled in Australia with lessor customer service from our opposition that by the way is way more expensive. I am sure them not being on a public forum wont help your curiosity either.

Mines actually quiter.

Hi Barry,

I am very interested in getting a chipit & was wondering how your's is going now that it's been in for a while?
I tow a ct now and I think that a chip might make things a bit easier.

Very interested in hearing a bit more about your "chip experience"


Cheers

I smell a troll. One that has been a member for 3 years and has nearly all their 16 posts in this thread....
I'm quite partial to banning trolls, their emails and IP range.. So keep it nice and don't tempt me...
Unless you have valid feedback or questions on the product in discussion, stay out of it..

@Mark360,

I agree, interpretation is the single biggest killer of internet forums regardless of the topic being discussed. Im sure you didnt intend upsetting anyone with your comments either. From my experience this is one of the friendliest forums Ive come across and rarely does and argument flare like this one so I guess its just unfortunate that your message was misunderstood in this case.

Sure point taken. I guess i could have worded much better. I tried to word it better in later posts and thought the rude responses were a bit overkill. If the points i raised are upsetting for those who have bought one then i guess I shiould have just started another thread where they could choose not to read it. Perhaps I'll do that.
Ive got some other questions too but after Roberts PM to me im no longer a potential customer so theyre really just out of curiosity. Dont think ill post them here though as its clear people dont want to really discuss the product in any depth.

As per my previous post Im still left wondering why the moneyback cant be unconditional and why it cant be put in a waterproof casing? I guess we will never know.

Good response Mark. I for one would like to here your other concerns. I think the 30 day one has been answered. For the record, I had concerns over variations between certain wording and certain claims. In all honesty, having studied a bit of commercial law and spend too much time in court as part of my work. I knew the answer and I knew what position would hold. Nevertheless, say an 18-25 yo without the same life experience as me would be rather confused by the conflicting messages. More importantly perhaps, is I understand why these conflicting things need to be said commercially and legally. The fault is basically our own rather than the producer or suppliers. By "our" I mean the society in which we all form part. Most suppliers want to be open and upfront but risk doing so at the abuse of unethical a$$holes or at the risk of serial litigants that think or perghaps cannot think for themselves. eg "There was no sign on the chip that said don't rev my motor to 12,000 rpm for longer than 1 minute even though the chip enables you to". Or perhaps the better example is the person that set the cruise control in a Winnabago in the US and thought they could then let the car drive itself. Of course they sued..... and won!......

I doubt that you'll find any real Australian made electronic products, unless you count assembled in Australia as Australian made. All electronic components such as chips, transistors, resistors, diodes, wires etc that I've seen inside stuff are made in Asia. But really I'm not sure what the point of the original question is.

From what I see they have premises in W.A. I think I've driven past them, not sure if that's where they assemble the units, but again I wonder what the point of the question is. But to be honest I'm not sure that any of it matters. We all want the best for the lowest price and that's why everything now comes from overseas.

While I haven't bought a Chip It I have been impressed with the way that they seem to support their product. The only reason I haven't bought one is my nervousness about an issue when I'm at the back of beyond and it seems those issues have been resolved.

Good to see everyone has calmed down. There was a study 50 years ago that showed communication is 7% words (content), 35% tone and 58% body language. Quite often the problem with email and the internet is that we only see the words and then try to guess the real intent, sometimes we get it right and sometimes wrong.

got your email ... cheers

Cheers! (Need to update the avatar, it is a statue on a rock in harbour signifying maori princess who took over driving the waka since her mate was sea sick?!)
I'll get on to your website; bottom line: my only hold up was I hate playing courier tag when electronics and sea water are involved but your handling of what amounts to my daily work experience impressed me enough to give it a whorl--that and the whole issue of cruise control, how best to amp up diesel injectors, and other tech saavy crap!

[Chip It]

you're not that far away

Yes, we have sent to NZ many times. Even had a company (Liquid Spread) send us their old Common Rail 70 Series Toyota DP chip as a protest. If anyone comes to my place, the DP chip I use to show the differences is theirs
