"Multitronics TC 750": reviews, owner manuals

At motorists recently appeared a new hobby - the computerization of their own vehicle. Onboard systems for diagnostics and tuning of the car of foreign and domestic manufacture have overfilled the market. Naturally, the buyers had questions about which computer to choose and how to properly configure it. If everything is clear with the latter - you just need to study the instruction manual, then with the choice of the model, things are worse.

In the focus of this article - one of the representatives of on-board computers in the domestic market - "Multitronix TS 750". This device, judging by the feedback of the owners, really looks like a PC. The reader is invited to familiarize himself with the functional of the on-board computer, its technical characteristics and the impressions of users before making a purchase.

Advertising - the engine of progress

Start better with a product description by the manufacturer. On a beautiful package, the basic functionality of the device with the listed technical characteristics is indicated, which should attract the attention of the potential buyer. But, as practice shows, everything in the domestic market is quite the opposite. The Russian buyer is well versed in modern technologies and will certainly notice the advertising that extols the on-board computer "Multitronix TS 750":

1. Powerful 32-bit processor. In fact, for the second decade, 64-bit crystals are considered productive.
2. A lot of informative displays. In fact, the display is one, and on it, as well as on any other monitor, you can configure windows to display information.
3. Support for all protocols for diagnostics. The computer can be programmed as you like - the main thing is that the car has the appropriate controllers.

And there are plenty of such inconsistencies in the description. It is unclear why the manufacturer made such an advertisement, because the device already attracts attention with worthy functionality and convenience in work.

First meeting

The computer "Multitronix TS 750" is offered in colorful cardboard packaging, like all similar car accessories on the market. Inside, in addition to the device itself, the buyer will find a plastic pocket for convenient installation of the on-board computer, a cable loop, instruction manual and several plates of double-sided adhesive tape. As users note in their reviews, the complete set is complete, and claims to it do not arise.

As for the quality of manufacturing and assembling an automobile accessory, things are a bit different here. The device is completely made of plastic, and the thickness of the walls of the device leaves much to be desired. Therefore, many users recommend that the on-board computer on the dashboard panel of the car is securely fixed with double-sided tape.

Connecting a Bot Computer

The operating manual provided with the "Multitronix TC 750" device makes it clear to the user that the car accessory can be installed right away, hardly removing it from the box (competitors' products have recently been supplied with CDs, not paper versions of the manual). The installation of the onboard computer is simple and does not require special skills:

• Sticking double-sided tape on the car panel;
• The plastic protective casing of the onboard computer is glued;
• A plume of wires is passed through the plastic frame and connected to the OBD2 connector of the car;
• The computer is securely attached to the protective cover.

Everything is easy and simple. Do not need to wind additional wires on the ignition or power off the battery. There are questions only to the sensitivity of the virtual lock, because all cars have different. However, the manual contains a description of the procedure for setting this parameter.

Setting the exact settings

Before the car owners there are 2 ways of development of events connected with the use of the on-board computer "Multitronix TC 750". The manual describes the possibility of fine tuning the device, with the introduction of real data and complete vehicle diagnostics. However, there are users who use the method "I know everything" in the old manner and adjust the parameters they need without assistance. Hence the negatives in the media regarding the inoperability of the on-board computer.

At the first connection the device independently determines the car controller and displays its name on the display. Often, a computer determines a typical universal device that fits many other car brands. Therefore, the user needs to specify the exact name of the controller in the parameters. For example, a computer identified a "CAN bus", and in fact there is a "M74CAN" bus.

Curious symbioses

On the first pages of the operating instructions the manufacturer mentions the possibilities of connecting the on-board computer "Multitronix TC 750" to a PC or laptop. Naturally, having thrown the tuning device, the user will be interested to provide control of the car from the mobile device. But this happens only in movies, but the ability to connect an on-board computer to a laptop is limited only by analyzing the settings, importing settings and editing some of the device's indicators.

Maybe in the coming years and invent the possibility of driving through the OBD2 port, but so far the symbiosis with the computer ends in the diagnosis and transmission of ready-made configurations between the onboard devices of the same modifications.

Speech synthesizer

Before setting up the Multitronics TC 750, the owner should learn about the specific capabilities of the car accessory. Neither the box nor the introductory part of the manual says anything about the voice warnings that the device is capable of producing. The speech synthesizer, judging by the feedback of users, can unpleasantly surprise the car enthusiast - not everyone will be happy to hear a loud female voice in the car after a half-hour setting of the on-board computer.

As for the synthesizer of speech, there are no questions to his work. Sound alerts are really needed in the electronic system of the car. Any failure, failure or modification of parameters for the worse will not go unnoticed by the user. It takes only a little time to the owner of the car to get used to the voice notification.

Raw Device Functionality

One of the main problems for all users is how to connect the "Multitrone TC 750" to the fuel system for monitoring fuel consumption. The control panel of the onboard computer provides several methods, however their functionality causes many doubts among motorists. It is not the best option to remove the indicators of a built-in sensor in the tank. The fact is that different volumes are displayed at different angles of inclination of the machine. And it is measured by tens of liters of fuel.

Experts recommend that users abandon the manufacturer's ready-made solutions for reading data from fuel system controllers and use the only proven method - to enter data manually. Yes, after each refueling, you need to make changes to the on-board computer. The technique is resource-intensive, but effective by 100%.

Informative display

A huge liquid crystal screen - that's what attracts the attention of users to the onboard computer "Multitronix TS 750". Connection, configuration and diagnostics are not possible without an informative display. Suppose that the diagonal of the screen is only 2.4 inches, and the resolution does not exceed 320 x 240 dots per inch, but this is quite enough for full-fledged work with the car accessory.

If everything is clear with the setting (you need to scroll through the menu items and select the necessary parameters), then with the display of information on the display there are many questions. It is worth noting that there is really nothing complicated here either. You just need to combine the necessary indicators into groups, and then decide in what order and by how many parameters on the screen you need to display information on the display.

Additional Functionality

For many car enthusiasts, the "Multitronix TS 750" installation is inextricably linked with the installation of parking radar. The fact is that the on-board computer supports the operation of these remarkable devices on the hardware level. Therefore, it is not surprising that many buyers prefer to purchase such a kit. With the installation and configuration problems do not arise, most importantly, always remember that the on-board computer works with a pair of identical parking radar, from the same brand "Multitronics."

Supported by the device and working in oscilloscope mode, however, for this you need to purchase a special cable. Many motorists recommend to abandon the usual owners of this functionality. The fact is that in order to work with the data obtained as a result of monitoring the entire system, knowledge in electronics is also needed. Beginners will not be able to install a breakdown in the car without a specialist.

Extended Diagnosis

In fact, you can talk for hours about the functionality of the computer "Multitronics TC 750". The instruction manual, albeit briefly, nevertheless describes all the possibilities of the on-board computer. The order of 200 car operating parameters is far from a myth for this car accessory. Whatsoever in the operation of the system, everything is amenable to diagnostics and tuning: fuel system, engine operation, electrical equipment and other functional of the car, the existence of which the user did not even suspect.

Of the additional parameters like the car enthusiast the possibility of manual adjustment of the ignition timing. After all, every driver wants his car to drive faster. Warming candles, controlling a large cooling circle, initializing the computer - the entire system of the car in the hands of the owner of the on-board computer "Multitronix TS 750".

Feedback

Advertising is good, but most potential buyers would like to get acquainted with reviews of real car accessory owners. The advantages of an on-board computer include a huge functionality. Not that motorists actively use all the characteristics, rather, on the contrary - of the two hundred settings, only a dozen functions are of interest. The advantage of this device is that each buyer will find the right parameters for him, access to which can provide "Multitronix TS 750". User feedback is attributed to the advantages and convenience of editing with the ability to quickly connect.

But the optional functionality was met negatively. The universal on-board computer lost its appeal immediately after the manufacturer imposed restrictions on the use of parking radar of other brands. Yes, and the number of sensors strongly confuses motorists (only 2).

Finally

In the market of on-board computers, the product that will be able to provide the customer with more functionality wins. The device "Multitrone TC 750" - this is confirmation, because it is he who can satisfy any motorist with his capabilities. Yes, there are negative reviews about the operation of some sensors, but this is already the problem of the car itself, and not the on-board computer. The same monitoring of fuel in the tank, a strange oscilloscope and control of lighting devices cause a sense of inferiority, but the merits still an order of magnitude more.
