On-board computer - an indispensable assistant on the road!

Scientific and technological progress never stands still: there constantly appear some electronic novelties that are firmly entering our everyday life. To such developments it is possible to carry an on-board computer. Now we'll try to figure out what it is, and what it's for.

First glance

The on-board computer can be compared to a home PC that helps you perform complex tasks. It looks like a liquid crystal screen, the size of which you can choose yourself. The first on-board computer appeared in 1981, when it was launched for BMW car models. Then in Europe, many motorists began to put on their "iron horses" such high-tech novelties, the price of which, it is worth noting, was not hard to beat. At us the given devices have typed popularity rather recently - in the beginning of the XXI-st century, and already now many drivers use them, after all the onboard computer - really necessary thing.

Functionality

After we got acquainted with the appearance of the onboard computer, you can go to its functions. The technological novelty was first of all intended to combine a wide range of possibilities in one device, and the developers quite successfully achieved the set goal: the on-board computer perfectly replaces the navigator, parktronic and DVD. The device has access to the World Wide Web, which will allow you to keep your hand on the pulse of events. In addition, you will be able to quickly assess the condition of the car: monitor the oil pressure, fuel level, etc. Also, you will be immediately notified if there is any breakdown in the vehicle. Simply put, the onboard computer is the brain of a car that can control all the components of the car - air conditioner, radio tape recorder, etc.

Types

Now there are various modifications of on-board computers, since the companies that produce them are very numerous. But there are only two of their types: those that are installed only under one model of the car, and those that are universal. The connection of the on-board computer, which is universal, is simpler than the one that was manufactured specifically for a certain model, because you only need to update the software, after which the car "brain" can follow. However, specialized BKs look more attractive in the sense that they fit perfectly into the "native" nest.

Results

The real assistant and friend on the road will be for you such a technological invention as an on-board computer. The price for 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 completely pay off the money spent, because you do not have to buy various devices that combine an on-board computer: Navigator, DVD and much more, as these devices will be replaced by only one in full. I wish you successful shopping!
