Multitronics CL-550
4 500
The choice of an on-board computer, the dimensions of which partially comply with German industrial standards (DIN), is justified if the car is equipped with a 2DIN system and the radio tape recorder itself is not included in the scope of delivery. Then it is possible to use the common “living space” at once with two single-unit devices for different purposes. Actually, the model CL-550 can be connected to almost any car either through the diagnostic connector or in the injector circuit and the speed sensor if the data on the bus is transmitted using an unknown protocol (universal mode). The device is able to understand up to 11 types of onboard systems and diagnose up to 30 additional parameters. Information is conveniently displayed on a 2.4-inch color display. Its color adjustment is performed both with the use of ready-made profiles, and with a separate adjustment of the intensity of the RGB channels. In BC provides quite useful features. For example, fuel quality control, allowing to evaluate the change in fuel consumption after the next refueling.

I read a lot of good and not so much comments, but I want to write about my personal experience. Bought an onboard computer. True, the installation itself failed, a specialist helped. Already a month has passed, it works fine. Failures do not occur, and the information gives on the display correctly. |

Multitronics MPC800

To display visual information, this BC is capable of using an Android smartphone (supporting SPP profile), on which a special application is installed. The interaction between them is carried out via Bluetooth, and the on-board computer performs all the actions provided offline and the connection is activated when it detects the corresponding mobile device. An application on a smartphone can be launched by a background process, intercepting control only to display critical messages, or work fully, with the current state displayed in a separate window. In addition, the device has a voice module that speaks messages made up of phrase blanks, or uses a third-party speech synthesizer for this purpose. BC allows you to connect to it a large number of external signal sources, analyze their condition and issue timely warnings. For example, on the position of the gasoline-gas switch, on the approach to an obstacle (according to the data of the additionally installed parking radar) or on the marker lights.

In terms of functionality, this BC is identical to model TC740, but its design provides for mounting on the windshield of the car. A more advanced modification of the VC730 is the VC731 model, which has a speech module, a storage oscilloscope and supports a greater number of protocols. By the way, for the Multitronics TC740 on-board computer, the TC750 is the “big brother”.

Convenient device designed for installation on the front of the car. The presence of a special visor provides protection from the sun on the display.

The on-board computer supports a large number of universal and original vehicle diagnostic protocols, which makes it possible to install it on most vehicles. Basic settings can be changed and saved using the program from a regular PC.

“The device, as I consider, is worthwhile and very necessary. Let all the functions not be used, but the main ones - fuel consumption, power reserve, tank residue, coolant temperature, etc. - are very useful, plus reading errors! The difference from the new 750 model is only two - the lack of voice alerts and an oscilloscope, but for me, so they only interfere, and at the price of the 740th it turns out much more profitable. ” |

“I bought it because of the voltmeter, there were tricky problems with the diode bridge of the generator, but it turned out to be a great thing. Quickly connected, set up in three days. Conveniently: you go, and it shows the necessary parameters, diagnostics without problems, even on a rebuilt control unit. Plus, there are many other necessary functions, for example, reports that the engine is warm. Recommend". |
