An app ahead with RaceChip
As one of the first international chip tuning companies, RaceChip has developed a combination of chip tuning and app. This lets you customize your vehicle's performance characteristics like never before. The combination of chip and app works easily via Bluetooth or your smartphone.
You can download and get to know the RaceChip app for free. With RaceChip, you can add this extra function as an option.
Better throttle response
RaceChip developed XLR to increase responsiveness on the road. Your engine’s performance isn’t affected by RaceChip XLR, but you can access it more immediately and directly. Experience significantly sharper responses for yourself – no waiting for the message to get through or frustrating hesitations.
7 separate stages
The RaceChip throttle tuning system tunes your engine’s reactions to your taste, with 7 separate stages.
- 2 Sport (S, S+) and 2 Race stages (R, R+) sharpen throttle response, speeding up the engine’s reaction times, making it as reactive as even a sportscar’s.
- 2 Eco stages (E, E+) slow down the engine’s reaction to movements of the throttle. In heavy city traffic and on long journeys, this can help you reduce fuel consumption.
- You can select N if don’t want or need to use XLR, and your car is back to stock tune.
Easy to install
Simple and easy to understand – installed in a few steps:
- Unplug the wire from the throttle at the connector.
- Connect the Brainbox to the connector/adaptor.
- Mount the Brainbox on a smooth surface in the footwell.
- To control XLR: connect the Controller with the Brainbox, or set up the RaceChip app.
- Done! Now – go drive and enjoy!
Perfect add on to chiptuning
You can experience totally new driving sensations if you combine RaceChip XLR with a RaceChip chip tuning module. The extra power and torque that chip tuning brings is perfectly complemented by the immediate throttle response made possible by throttle tuning. Together, they push back the limits of driving enjoyment.
Alternatively: app control
RaceChip is the first company to offer throttle tuning together with app control. The combination gives you the easiest ever way of controlling your vehicle’s throttle response. RaceChip XLR connects directly with the RaceChip app on your smartphone via Bluetooth.
If you already have a RaceChip chip tuning module in your car, XLR is the perfect add-on, and using them together is even easier – you can control both modules from the driver’s smartphone using the same app.

Real pros warm up first
It’s better for the engine if it is allowed to warm up properly before being asked to deliver maximum performance. The warm-up timer puts the upgraded performance on tap only after the engine has reached working temperature, reducing wear.
-
Individual fine tuning mappings
The RaceChip comes from the factory with the right map for your engine. Should this initial configuration not meet your expectations, RaceChip can further adapt the settings of the 3 distinct driving modes Efficiency, Sport and Race to the performance characteristics of your engine. The new parameters will then simply be transferred from the app to your RaceChip.

Automatic updates
The RaceChip app downloads the latest version of the RaceChip optimisation software. The app installs it on the RaceChip automatically.

Compatible smartphones
Apple operating system
The RaceChip+ app is compatible with all Apple smartphones that are equipped with at least Bluetooth 4.0 and run iOS 12 or higher.
Android operating system
The RaceChip+ app is compatible with smartphones equipped with at least Bluetooth 4.0 and running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or higher.
Due to the different specifications of the individual smartphone manufacturers that use Android, pairing the RaceChip with the RaceChip app is currently problematic with the following devices:
- Huawei / Honor: For individual Huawei and Honor devices with Android 7 (Nougat), connection problems may occur at the moment.
- Xiaomi: Please note that the option "Force dark mode" for the RaceChip app on Xiaomi smartphones causes problems with its display. Please check if this option is enabled if you see problems on the frontend.
