Despite the fact that modern (and not very) cars are stuffed with electronics, implementing a variety of ideas of their creators, self-modging of electronics of cars remains one of the favorite topics of the car owners. And, if the body modifications or engine require both special equipment and, possibly, the stationary conditions of the auto repair shop, the changes in the automotive electronics, as a rule, do not represent much complexity and complexity.
Such changes make it possible to increase the safety of the vehicle operation, increase the resource of its electrical equipment, and also give individuality to appearance.
The company master whale offers devices that decide these tasks. In this material we will look at some of these devices.
We hope that our small review will be interested in both repair professionals and anyone who loves to make skillful hands to the car.
For convenience, information about the devices are reduced to the table located at the end of the review.
- The vehicle stop control device is a control board of a duplicate lantern of a vehicle stop signal in accordance with the program laid in the module microcontroller during its production.
The program implements six operating modes switched using jumpers installed on the board. All six modes will work with LED lanterns, and three modes are compatible with conventional incandescent lamps. After working out the program, the stop signal will operate in the usual mode of continuous luminescence.
Non-standard flashing stop signals highlights your car in the stream of other machines and, undoubtedly, increases its visibility, and, therefore, safety.
The device is simply turned on in the wiring of the car and can be quickly switched to the regular mode of operation of stop signals. The inclusion scheme is presented on the site page dedicated to this module.
- The car control device (DRL) of the car is implemented in the same form factor as the previous module, and is intended for automatic inclusion of DRL in accordance with four modes of operation programmed in the module microcontroller.
The DRL control device can be connected to LED Farm, fog lamps, to the near light of full headlights, etc.
Operating modes are installed using jumper placed on the board and implement logic operations with control signals, as well as the delay in the timer on. Connection schemes Look on the site page.
- The module is a microcontroller small-sized device for protecting halogen lamps with H7 base, installed in the headlights of the VAZ cars and some others.
The application of the protection device allows you to increase the service life of the lamps, since when turned on, a smooth flow of the current on the lamp helix occurs. Smooth current supply also contributes to an increase in the service life of the controls of control relays and switches.
The set includes two modules with wires and contacts.
- The universal protection relay of halogen lamps is also intended for smooth ignition and damping halogen lamps in fog lights and the headlights of the Middle Lights of VAZ cars.
The module is made in the form factor of the chassis of the standard relay and can be installed on most domestic cars instead of the Middle Light relay or fog headlights. Before installing the relay in the mounting block to the standard place, be sure to make sure that the signals on the mounting block contacts correspond to the assignment of the relay contacts.
If the module is connected to the actuator of the driver's door lock using an additional diode (to the output on which + 12V appears during its release), then when you open the castle, the Middle Light or fog lights will light up smoothly, and in two seconds it is smoothly greased.
- Relay daytime running lights EVRO and DHO Vaz are designed to control the power of far-beam headlights, which allows them to be used as DRL.
The principle of operation and the circuitry solution of both modules are the same, they differ only to the destination for different car models.
EVRO modification (small relay) is suitable for Lada Kalina, Lada Priora and other cars, where the relay of a similar form factor is applied, and the VAZ modification is suitable for use in Lada cars 2107, Lada 2108-21099, Lada Samara family, Lada Family 2110, etc. .
The use of far-beam headlights included on 30% of power as daytime running lights, allows to significantly reduce power consumed from the generator, and, therefore, increase the resource of the generator and reduce the fuel resource and reduce the consumption of fuel. Smooth inclusion significantly increases the resource of the halogen incandescent lamps.
The modules are installed in the mounting block instead of regular relays of long-mounted light, and the additional wires are connected to the ignition contacts, dimensions and manual brakes of the harness of the device.
When the ignition is turned off, the relay is completely turned off and does not consume the current. Daytime running lights are included only when the ignition is turned on, the manual brake and turned off the overall lights. In other cases, distant light works in normal mode.
- The control module of the LED optional stop signal works only with LED lamps. After pressing the brake, a series of outbreaks of an additional stop signal is issued.
The module is included in the rupture of wires going to an additional stop signal. If the car uses a connector compatible with the module connector, then you should separate this connector and connect the module to it. If the connector is not compatible or absent in general, you should cut the wires that go to the stop signal and connect the device into the gap of these wires, observing the polarity.
You can select one of several flashing programs with an additional stop signal using the button located on the device.
- The built-in engine temperature indicator not only displays the cooling fluid temperature in digital form, but also shows the diagnostic codes transmitted over the CAN bus, and can also be washed.
The temperature indicator is a microcontroller, which connects to the CAN information bus using the appropriate diagnostic connector. The indicator periodically sends a diagnostic request for the temperature of the coolant and the number of saved error codes.
Electronic motor control units, transmission, etc., are issued in response to this request to this request. The microcontroller accepts the data and after the necessary processing displays the codes using the LED seven-step indicator in the form of the letter and four digits.
Decoding codes is standardized and easily located with the help of search engines on the Internet.
We draw your attention to the fact that many devices from the assortment master whale are sold complete with compatible or recommended goods for sharing. Buying kits, you can save well, because the kit is cheaper!
Greetings to all who know what dremel is. Computer iron, stylish enclosures and cars, what else is needed for happiness? \u003d) Today we will talk about the automotive themes in modernization and consider a couple of unusual projects from Hungary. And so, I would like to start from work, the subject of which speaks for himself. At least that the real car spare parts were used for this Fashion, rubber with tires and keys already leads to some shock. At first glance, it seems that these things cannot be applied in fashion at all, but looking at the photo, they just amazed how stylish and qualitatively all this looks. Dark blue paint and chrome elements resemble tuned cars. This similarity emphasizes and a small BMW model, standing on the top of the housing panel, which, by the way, is covered with rubber from a real auto stroke. The quality of the assembly and the overall design are worthy of all silence. Let's look at the project photos.
The next mod, which we consider - can be attributed to modeling. The modder under the nickname Bunker assembled the Hammer model and placed inside the computer iron. It turned out very impressive. Despite some non-accuracy, the case looks very stylish. The main minus of the project can be called quite large sizes, but the fact that this mod is assembled almost completely manually, makes it close to all eyes. \u003d)
I hope that Case Fashion from Hungary will not leave you indifferent. \u003d) Inspiration and successful modding Friends. Regards, Casemods.
Tuning is a common concept among owners of domestic models of vehicles. Such cars are characterized by a budget salon, which is not particularly comfortable and perfect. Budget panels and not very comfortable seats are oppressing the driver while driving.
If you want to create an extra comfort in the car or emphasize your status, then you can make tuning salon
Of course, you can contact the professionals who can eliminate the vehicle salon taking into account your wishes and modern design decisions, however, such pleasure will not be very cheap. If you have the opportunity, free time and desire, you can make tuning yourself, without the help of specialists and while saving money. Consider in this article how to make tuning.
Noise insulation with your own hands
Modernization of the vehicle salon includes a huge number of changes. Before starting work, it is important to understand what kind of result you want to achieve, it will determine with the color scheme of the interior. It will help you figure out for work. If you are the owner of the domestic car and want to make a complete tuning of the machine's salon, then, according to the advice of specialists, you need to start working with noise insulation and vibration insulation of the cabin.
For this you need to purchase insulation materials in special stores. It is necessary to start work with full disassembly of the cabin, cleaning it from dust and dirt. Fully removed from the salon the remains of the old upholstery. To obtain a qualitative result, it is necessary to initially glue into one or two layers of vibration insulating material, which will reduce the level of vibration in the car while driving. The next step is the sizing soundproof material also in one or two layers. This will reduce the level of noise and screen in the car while driving. It is necessary to glue the material over the entire inner surface of the cabin, special attention to to pay hard to reach places. It is possible to enhance the result to go through a hair dryer of materials.
Next can be proceeded to the salon assembly. For a more dense fit of the elements of the trim use seals. If you are going to tuning and lining the cabin, then it is easier for you to cope with this task in a disassembled form and already squeezed elements.
Tuning smooth surfaces of the car's salon do it yourself
Most often, the inner smooth parts of the car are made of cheap plastic and have a non-primary look. Modernize torpedo, door cards and other plastic elements can be several ways.
The easiest way to tuning the interior of the car is a pasting of carbonic products or vinyl film under carbon. This is not a very labor-intensive process, although it requires extreme care, careful measurement of parts. The film glues is quite simple: it is necessary to clean and degrease the treated surface, punch the film, straightening from the center to the edges of the part with a spatula with a soft tip. For more dense adjustment, in parallel, it is necessary to carry out heat treatment with a hair dryer. It is more convenient to perform such work together. The carbon film is sold in different colors, therefore you can combine colors for a more original type. For example, to highlight the vehicle or a torpedo handle with another shade and individually. It all depends on the flight of your imagination.
A more expensive version of the tuning of the car's salon is the decoration of the interior elements with the skin or Alcantara - artificial suede. Hauling the cabin of the vehicle of the skin is very expensive. For this you need special car leather, which is resistant to fire, is distinguished by strength and wear resistance. A little economically, the option of drawing parts with an artificial suede, which gives the salon comfort and warm. Work with such materials requires significant diligence and attentiveness and can stretch for a week, or even more.
If you are tired of your ugly smooth plastic surfaces, you can always replace them with skin or rare wood species
The most economical and popular version of the tuning of smooth surfaces of the cabin is flocking. This is a way to finish the car's salon with your own hands using a floc - chemically treated textile. Before flocking, it is necessary to degrease the surface of the product, to work on it with primer and shallow sandpaper. The next step is to apply the uniform layer of glue and finishing the surface of the flock. To do this, it is desirable to have a flocator - a typewriter for its application, which in the shortest possible time will help you cope with the task in even hard-to-reach places. The excess material is blown away with a hair dryer. Details are left for graze for several hours. You get the elements of the cabin that have a pleasant to the touch fabric effect, resistant to burnout and wet cleaning, and also give individuality and comfort to your car.
Tuning ceiling machine with your own hands
An important point with the full tuning of the cabin is upgrading. Most often manufacturers produce machines with white-colored trim on the ceiling. And no matter how birching your car owner, over time the ceiling flashes and dumps, acquires a reddish shade. For the care of the ceiling, the carpet is most often used - inexpensive and widespread material.
Start upgrading is necessary with removal of the upholstery of the ceiling, it is advisable to do it carefully to use it for the pattern from the new material. Next should be cleaned and degrease the ceiling and the prepared pattern with the help of regular fixators to fix on it. For reliability, you can pre-work the ceiling with glue. It will guarantee more reliable fastening.
To give a more presentable view, you can also use flocking for the ceiling.
Modernization of the seats of the car do it yourself
Tuning car seats is an important component of the modernization of the vehicle salon. In order to improve the type of seats, you can buy new autocuses and, thus, to transform them. And also to improve the type of its car, you can replace the old seats with a nice foreign car with seats.
If you wish to get a really unique result, then it is better to make a car's fecing with your own hands.
Most often, eco-button is used for the tank. This is not a very expensive material that has good elasticity and presentable view. Of the more expensive options - the manufacture of covers from automotive skin and Alcantara. These materials are characterized by a longer period of operation.
Deciding with the material and its color, you can proceed to work. Before covering the seating, be sure to dismantle from the car. It is very good to remove the seats from the seats, as it will serve you as a pattern, then it is necessary to mark the markup with the help of a marker and old autocups on the new material and cut all the elements of the pattern. From the inside, the sickness is made by foam rubber.
To give a more decent view of the seats of your car Try to drag their skin and embroider beautiful drawings
It remains only to sew prepared elements using strong reinforced threads. In order for the autosewings to have a presentable species, the internal seams are required to straighten, cut into the foam rubber and sneak them with ordinary glue. After drying, the covers are steamed with a hair dryer or iron and dress on the seats.
And some more important points
Almost all elements of the car's salon were tuning upgrades. There are several details left, which will give uniquely to the salon of your car.
For a more efficient look, you need to improve the car's wheel. A more presentable view can be given to him by tosing automotive skin. The tuning steering wheel will look more expensive, will become more pleasant to the touch, as well as thanks to the automotive skin, which breathes, the hands will not sweat and slide on the steering wheel.
As well as the type of outstanding salon can spoil old factory mats that look unprepacently and slaughter. Car floor mats can or buy new ones that you like, or make them yourself from rubberized carpet. It will be the perfect solution to the issue, you can choose the color and quality that will fully fit into the interior of your updated salon. To do this, we use an old rug instead of layout and cut tuning mats for your car.
Alternatively, you can add individuality to the salon using additional lighting elements. LED tapes on the instrument panels and torpedoes can be a stylish accessory for your car.
Let's summarize
As you can see, the tuning of the salon do it yourself is a real task. You can decorate all the elements of the car's interior without exception. Come up with your individual style and interior and act. It will give you a lot of positive emotions and envy surrounding.
