Scientific and technological progress never stands still: there are always some electronic novelties that are firmly established in our everyday life. Such developments include an on-board computer. Now we will try to figure out what it is and what it is for.
First Look
A trip computer can be compared to a home PC that helps you complete complex tasks. It looks like a liquid crystal screen, the size of which you can choose yourself. The first on-board computer appeared back in 1981, when it began to be produced for BMW car models. Then in Europe, many motorists began to put on their "iron horses" such high-tech innovations, the price of which, it should be noted, was not weakly affordable. In our country, these devices gained popularity relatively recently - at the beginning of the 21st century, and now many drivers use them, because an on-board computer is a really necessary thing.
Functionality
After we got acquainted with the appearanceon-board computer, you can go to its functions. The technological novelty was primarily intended to combine a wide range of capabilities in one device, and the developers quite successfully achieved their goal: the on-board computer perfectly replaces the navigator, parking sensors and DVD. The device has access to the World Wide Web, which will allow you to constantly keep abreast of events. In addition, you will be able to quickly assess the condition of the car: monitor oil pressure, fuel level, etc. You will also be notified immediately if there is any breakdown in the vehicle. Simply put, the on-board computer is the brain of the car, which can control all the components of the car - air conditioning, radio, etc.
Types
Now there are various modifications of on-board computers, as there are a lot of companies that produce them. But there are only two types of them: those that are installed only for one car model, and those that are universal. Connecting an on-board computer, which is universal, is easier than one that was made specifically for a specific model, because you only need to update the software, after which the installation of an automobile "brain" can already follow. However, specialized BCs look more attractive in the sense that they fit perfectly into their "native" nest.
Results
A real helper and friend on the road will befor you such a technological invention as an on-board computer. The price of such an invention varies depending on the manufacturer and its capabilities (starts from three thousand rubles), but the functionality and comfort that will be provided to you will fully pay for the money spent, because you do not have to buy various devices that the on-board computer combines: navigator, DVD and much more, since these devices will be replaced by just one in full. Wish you happy shopping!
