Ive had more brands than most , on a variety of vehicles
Steinbauer - Navara D40 - went well but blew black smoke under every style of tune - my tuner gave up and ripped it off in the end.
DP Chip - Navara D40 x 2 - simple plug and play , huge throttle response difference , did what it said , no issues .
Chip It - Navara D40 - after wiring the thing up as per the diagram ,.. that started the stress levels going , vehicle preformed klike crap , constant calls to chip it guys got me knowwhere, they always had an excuse or a "update " that needed to be preformed . Even told me to buy a laptop so I could self tune ???
Unfortunately I had purchased one for my mates LC200 - His played up so bad we had to have it towed to Toyota who then proceeded to wipe off his 3 yrs of warranty and chagred him $2k for a fix that was something to do with fuel pressure. We spoke with Chipit guys , who said they would send an upgraded model (we had only had the origional for one week) ..... We sent the origional back , they say they never recieved it so we were out of pocket again. They then advised us to buy the "new model" which we did (at a reduced price I think) , but it sits on the shelf now collecting dust as I cannot bring myself to go through it all again .........lol. I still see all the issues on these forums with the Chip It models .......any unit that gives regular fault codes , in my eyes has not been tested properly.
Just bought a ZR prado and put a new DP chip on it , fun factor is good , definately no lag , launches off the lights very quickly . Tows 2 ton van up hills like it was a v8 .
Im no expert , but in my experience Chipit needs to get some real time under their belt and get it right before they would qualify as proven. Steinbauer is German ??? probabally good value somewhere .. DP chip has been good to me and all my vehicles , would buy it again tomorrow ...does what it says without any issues , or fault codes at all.
Just my opinion guys , not looking to start a war . Proof is in the pudding !!!
