Dauerhafter Lade Kreis nach Bluetooth PIN Eingabe, mit dem iPhone 16 Pro mehrfach schon die Apps deinstalliert. Das Handy neu gestartet hilft alles nicht. Muss jetzt ein uralte Samsung Galaxy S9 dafür benutzen. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2025-01-12, version 2.5.4* It’s a real shame that when I connect my phone to CarPlay I don’t have an app for Racechip!! This would be so much better to have the ability to change nodes via the cars CarPlay and not have to man handle the mobile. ### 1/5 — iPhoneでもAndroidでもNG *2024-02-15, version 2.5.4* iPhone、Androidの両方で試しましたが、どちらともbluetoothが接続できないエラーで使い物になりません。 解決方法を教えて下さい。 ### 1/5 — Uygulama sorunu *2022-06-10, version 2.5.4* Uygulamadan Race moduna geçmiyor güncellemede gelmiyor ### 1/5 — App com problema!!! *2022-04-06, version 2.5.4* Não consigo conectar app via bluetooth para o chip de potência. Curiosamente, quando tento conectar para o RaceChip XLR a conexão se estabelece rapidamente. Corrijam esse problema, por favor! ### 5/5 — Bom *2022-01-22, version 2.5.4* Bom funcionamento, sempre que preciso ### 1/5 — Avoid RaceChip *2021-06-02, version 2.5.4* I purchased a RaceChip for my Passat TDI. It worked okay for a week or so and then caused rough acceleration. I tried the troubleshooting solutions in their manual. Nothing worked. I ended up having to take my car to the mechanic and have a few hundred dollars of repairs. I tried to return the RaceChip but was told it was over 30 days. It is difficult to meet their 30 day policy when the device has to be shipped back to Germany. ### 1/5 — 50€ und nichts geht *2021-05-04, version 2.5.4* Bei Verbindungen zwischen Handy und dem Chip kommt es immer zu Fehlern. Nach Chip mehrmals einbauen alles löschen und Verbindungen löschen klappt es dann. Hält genau für eine Fahrt, am nächsten Tag wieder das selbe Problem. Liebes RaceChip Team so kann das nicht bleiben hier muss unbedingt was gemacht werden. Dafür Geld zu verlangen ist unverschämt. Zum Glück habe ich den Chip gebraucht gekauft. ### 2/5 — App Needs Attention *2020-10-30, version 2.5.4* The Racechip is a cool product and all but the app needs a lot more attention especially for a $600 aftermarket performance part. You guys can do better!!! Let us see it!!!!!!!! ### 3/5 — 😡😡😡Bitte macht endlich was....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2020-09-21, version 2.5.4* Ganz dringend beheben... Hatte schon unter iOS 13 & dem iPhone 11 Pro massive Probleme auf den Chip zu zugreifen, keine Verbindung möglich meist ging einfach nichts was extrem ärgerlich ist und die eigentlichen Eigenschaften des Chips total passé sind. Da hätte ich mir den Chip auch sparen können... Seit iOS 14 ist jetzt endgültig aus, jetzt geht gar nichts mehr!!!! Der Chip ist nun auch nicht wirklich günstig und nicht null acht fünfzehn vom Grabbeltisch und dann kann man damit nicht agieren das geht gar nicht....!!!!!!!!!! Bitte macht endlich was....!!!!!!!! Sonst geht alles Retour und die Konkurrenz bekommt eine neue Kundin...fahre schon ein paar Jahre mit Race Chip und langsam hab ich die Nase voll das es ständig nicht geht...!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😠 Der Chip ist super...wenn es läuft... ## Frequently asked questions about RaceChip ### What does the RaceChip App do?
