What automakers offer for big money
Automakers are imposed on us more options. Trendy "gadgets" that are supposedly designed to facilitate the management of the car, in fact, simply increase its price tag. We chose the most controversial of them.
Rain sensor
At first glance, the idea is not bad. But I have not seen a single car, wherever the sensor and the signal processing unit it would work correctly. Sensor operates as follows. On the windshield from the inside under certain mutual angle attached infrared emitter and photodetector-photocell. When starting to appear on the glass drops of water, they change the nature of the infrared light refracted. By this change, the control unit sends a signal to the inclusion of "janitors." In fact, the sensor is more or less works correctly only when the pouring rain, when it should be clear that the "wipers" shall thresh constantly.
Least favorite mode for the rain sensor and the most annoying for the driver - fine drizzle. Glass already covered speckles droplets appear on the fact no, and wipers in auto mode and do not think a move on. Are diverted to include compulsory "swing" or continuous mode. But the rain sensor was conceived specifically for the complete elimination of the driver of this process. In fact - we are not only freed from the control "janitors", but also to give them more attention than they deserve. And really distracted from the road. Thus on many Japanese (and other) vehicles not equipped with this device, there is a wheel on the lever with which you can adjust the frequency of the intermittent mode. And just more comfortable with it.
There is another interesting aspect of the use of the rain sensor in Russia. As you know, we have, in contrast to the same Europe, quite a lot of dust and dirt. As a result, born in Europe sensor encounters a variable that is absolutely not available in the algorithm of the control unit. And all this economy works even less correct than intended.
Rain sensor - the clearest example where a penny going into the details of the device and are sold at exorbitant prices to us as "extremely useful" option. The most annoying that this sensor is included in the optional packages, and abandon it when ordering a car is almost impossible.
Light sensor
Light sensor - it is such a contraption, which itself will include the headlights at dusk or when entering a tunnel. By the operation of this device claims usually arise. But the question arises - is it marketers and designers of cars are not aware that Russia is not a year or two valid point traffic rules obliging ride with headlights always?
In fairness it should be noted that in the case of vehicle equipment separate daytime running lights (DRLs) conditional utility light sensor is not so acutely challenged. But in any case believe that reliable and true turn on the lights manually. After all, any deliberate action associated with the control of cars increases our concentration and responsibility.
Full size spare tire
At the dawn of mass motorization modern Russia has developed a belief that "dokatka" not for our roads. In fact, even in relatively sparsely populated areas of the North, Siberia and the Far East on the main road enough points shinomotazha. As for the European part of Russia, and even more so. Meanwhile, a full-size spare wheel selects a decent amount in the trunk as a niche under the spare tire is designed for "dokatki."
Sensor air pollution
The basic idea of the device - switches to internal circulation in case the car suddenly hit, for example, in a cloud of exhaust overloaded antediluvian Kamaz. But any such mechanism has a certain inertia, and the salon stench still gets. Unfortunately, gone are the days when the damper closes access to the outside air, controlled by a simple mechanical lever. Because only in this case you can manage to react quickly to a "gas attack".
Engine start button
Probably, it is convenient, but the cost of this option can be up to 10 000 rubles. It would seem that it is only a specific customer preferences, the owner, as they say - a gentleman. He wants the button, though, and for objectively absurd money - please. But there is one drawback options, shown when starting the engine in cold weather. Sometimes its "brains" do not know what can be left out, and -30, when you need a little key overexpose starter during the first tentative outbreaks in the cylinders. Button do not allow.
Audiovideosistema with the navigator, "bluetooth», DVD, USB, SD
We are not talking about the really high-quality "music" in the car. This is generally a separate conversation. In this case means omnivorous audio video navigation processor, the cost of which the list of options can easily transcend not only psychologically acceptable mark, but go far for 100 000 rubles. And not the fact that even for the money to get a decent sound. But, like, "all in one", and all that is aesthetically integrated into the front panel and the interior of the car.
In fact, we have a completely closed system (in the sense of the impossibility of customization and installation of additional software), but still often with ancient maps and navigation software without the "cork" service. At the same time on the Chinese Internet shopping sites offer a huge so-called head unit, which for 1500-2000 rubles you put a profile at any service station. This device will not only repeat the factory design and texture finishes, but also contain a full Android. And it means - sound, video, internet, navigate to the "plug" and the most recent cards. If you have concerns about your order and delivery from China, such a device can be bought in Russia, only a half to two times more expensive. But in any case come much cheaper than that offered by the manufacturer option. Personally, I'm more than a year so I use to order from China Harvester and never regretted. Especially that with express delivery to door apartment it cost me 15 000 rubles.
Yes, if the car is new, theoretically there can be problems associated with the case of warranty - Engineer warranty starts immediately abut that you put the device not approved by the manufacturer, and this, they say, Alteration. And deny you warranty repair, for example ... gearbox. But how to deal with the arbitrariness garantiyschikov - sometime in the next time.
