A/C Recharge Assistant

AC Avalanche

About this app

When paired with Smart Chip™ products, the A/C Recharge Assistant provides you with a quick and accurate A/C recharge, so you can have cold air blowing through your vehicle again - without any worry of overcharging the system.

Overcharging your system produces the same result as undercharging: hot air in the vehicle cabin. So getting your refrigerant fill level correct is the key to recharging your A/C system.

SMART CHIP™ (REQUIRED)
Smart Chip wirelessly pairs with the A/C Recharge Assistant and calculates optimum refrigerant fill level in real time based on outside temperature and humidity. Smart Chip is available at a major automotive retailer near you.

EASY & ACCURATE
The A/C Recharge Assistant walks you through the process, making it easy for anyone to accurately fill their A/C system in 15 minutes or less. No mechanical skills required!

1. Turn Smart Chip on.
2. Pair Smart Chip with smart phone using the A/C Recharge Assistant app.
3. Smart Chip will automatically pair through the app.
4. Take outside temperature and humidity reading to calculate optimum fill.
5. Place Smart Chip in center A/C vent.

Ratings and reviews

The app is obviously broken and everyone who purchased this probably knew it because they purchased it as a last resort (no manual gauges left in the store). Most people can deduce that requiring a smart phone to connect to a bluetooth app that talks to a cheap, goofy little piece of plastic in your air vent The hardware is trash, as is this software. Return the product if you still can and uninstall this app.

I would give it ZERO STARS because this is utter trash app not worth anything. It's completely unnecessary to use Bluetooth especially on an app that constantly crashes just to steal & sell your info.

Such a stupid gimmick. Do yourself a favor take this back immediately, and go buy a manual Gauge. There's absolutely no reason to use Bluetooth that just wants your precise location data. The next time you need to use this, the battery will be dead in the gauge and you'll have to buy another one. I only bought because the store didn't have the manual Gauge.
