Review summary

Users appreciate the app's capability to switch tuning modes and the performance gains from the RaceChip product. Customer support is responsive to issues. However, the app suffers from multiple connectivity problems, frequent crashes, GUI glitches, and serial number registration errors. Users also desire better integration with in-car systems like Android Auto for enhanced usability.

Pros

The app allows easy switching between different tuning modes like Eco, Sport, and Race, providing noticeable performance improvements.
The product delivers tangible performance gains, including increased horsepower and torque, enhancing driving experience.
RaceChip customer support is responsive and able to resolve app-related issues effectively.
The app interface is straightforward and relatively user-friendly for fine tuning adjustments.
The app supports dynamic map changes, allowing real-time tuning while driving.

Cons

The app has persistent Bluetooth connectivity and pairing issues, often requiring data reset or re-pairing to regain connection.
The app frequently crashes or fails to open, sometimes after updates, necessitating reinstallations or downgrades to previous versions.
There are GUI and display issues, such as misaligned numbers or problems with dark mode affecting fine tuning functionalities.
Lack of compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay limits in-car usability and safety.
Serial number mismatches and registration errors prevent app-chip synchronization and cause user frustration.

2026-03-20	SE*****	It is a greate tool. It woks good, sometimes there's a delay before it's connected with a Race chip module. I have some proposition for improvement: provide a automated plan for selecting a mode according to a fuel pressure values (e.g diesel idle pressure is 25000 kPa, hugh acceleration is about 150000 kPa) over the past 1-3 minutes. Like, when we in a hard traffic it will select an Eco mode, otherwise Sport or Race mode. I think it is doable solution that will significantly improve App benefit

2025-12-02	De*****	you cannot disable the anti theft without swiping the warm up timer away, so effectively you have no warm up timer if want to use the anti theft function. racechip support isn't interested

2025-07-25	Da*****	Disappointed with RaceChip's Customer Service & Performance I rarely leave negative reviews, but after my experience with RaceChip, I feel it's necessary to share. I had an issue with my chip and reached out to their customer service team hoping for a reasonable solution. Instead, I was met with a checklist of reasons why they couldn’t help me—basically just a copy-paste of restrictions and warranty exclusions. Save your money & time don't buy the chip or use the app. Doesn't work.

2024-12-25	At*****	The latest update v1.7.0 has GUI issues. The numbers and letters in the fine tuning section are jumping all around the screen and not centered in the correct positions. I've reinstalled many times and used multiple phones to test. How can I roll back to v1.6.6?
