Cruise Plus Intensive X1, Automobile Scanner Smarter than Trip Computer

Nowadays, the new car displays the necessary information such as average fuel mileage, running speed, and travelable distance through the trip computer through the Trip Computer. Some vehicles are digitized to the engine oil and coolant temperature, which was only visible on the tachometer.

If you can show the driver what you want to do with a trip computer, would not it be better for vehicle maintenance if you can see other information such as battery charge, voltage, and individual tire pressure?

Recently, Smart On Communication released 'Cruise Plus Intensive X1' as OBD2 car scanner related to this. Even before this, other vendors are importing and selling OBD2 car scanners from China, so you may think there is no difference. Please look at the summary below to understand why.

OBD2 car scanner? How to use? OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) is a device that we can refer to as 'on-board diagnostics'. (OBD2) which can check whether there is any abnormality of vehicle by receiving real time numerical value such as transmission, steering, and braking system (OBD1) by mechanical operation of engine controlled by ECU, OBD1 Scanner. Nowadays, it is called 'OBD2 scanner' for convenience.

The OBD2 scanner is divided into a scanner for the maintenance of the vehicle that blocks the malfunction of parts that can not be identified by the naked eye, and a general-purpose scanner that displays diagnostic information of the vehicle and other information in real time. The Cruise Plus Intensive X1 is the latter.

Usage is simple. If you open the fuse box, you can see the trapezoidal terminal with 16 pins at the bottom. This terminal is the OBD2 terminal where the OBD2 scanner can be inserted.

If the purpose is simple check, connect the OBD2 scanner as it is. If it is intended for long-term use, hold down both side fixing levers of OBD2 terminal and push back, then it will go down and change into a structure that can be filled in the fuse box.

The Renault Samsung QM3 does not have an OBD2 terminal in this area. If you lift the rubber seal in front of the gear knob with a tool such as a credit card, you can see the same type of OBD2 terminal shown in gray. Connect the scanner to this terminal and start the vehicle.

If the X1 is connected intensively, you can see the blinking blue LED. It is a signal to wait for Bluetooth pairing with a smartphone. At this time, the driver should pre-install the cruise plus app and the monster gauge app, and after pairing with the smartphone using the terminal setting and setting the car type, & Lt; / RTI & gt;

The vehicles that can be supported by the Cruise Plus Intensive X1 are indicated on the Support Vehicle Information page of the Monster Gauge homepage. Hyundai and Kia Motors have been in QM3, QM5, SM3, and SM5 since 2013 (including the 2006 Avante HD), Chevrolet since 2011 (Lacetti Premier 2009 and Winstorm 2006) Are supported.

The data collected by the in-vehicle OBD2 scanner is first transmitted to the data server through the wireless data communication network (3G / LTE) or the Wi-Fi network of the smart phone and the smart communication is operated and managed Are accumulated.

Chinese OBD2 scanner, difficult to trust Besides the Cruise Plus Intensive X1, there is also an OBD2 scanner that is imported and sold in China. It is relatively cheap at around 50,000 won, so the driver who knows the OBD2 scanner may decide to purchase. If you can show the necessary information anyway, you can think that you do not need to buy expensive money.

An industry observer said, "OBD2 scanners made in China, which are imported and sold domestically in Korea at low prices, have a large fluctuation range due to the long delay time, and some information is virtual, making it difficult to trust the data." The third-person OBD2 scanner that the writer owns is just a clone, he said. The average fuel consumption is more than 1 km / l.

Cruise Plus Intensive X1 uses CAN communication to scan and display the car's key information, but with a wider transmission bandwidth, dozens of pieces of information can be shown at a time, and latency is much better than Chinese OBD2 scanners The data reliability is high.

For example, Hyundai Kia Motors' fuel mileage selection contest is known to use OBD2 scanners supplied by Smarton Communications every year. The average fuel consumption is calculated by analyzing the actual amount of fuel injected into the injector, mileage, and running speed, and the actual error is less than 1%. If the reliability of data is undervalued, it would be difficult to apply the product.

Smarton Communications has released Big Data, which collects the average fuel efficiency of four mid-size sedans, including Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, Chevrolet Malibu and Renault Samsung SM5, on its monster gauge homepage.
