Choosing a used car - not a simple matter, which hides a bunch of "gotchas." One of these "stones" is a twisted mileage. Very often dishonest owners, wanting to increase the cost of the machine to artificially reduce the figures odometer. Prices for such a machine will be much larger than its present value, except such cars may surprise the future owner of unexpected breakdowns. As choosing a car in the "secondary" to protect themselves from such troubles - later in the review.
To date, there is nothing difficult to "twist" the mileage of the car. If earlier, on older machines, used mainly analog meters, and there have to run manually twist, now it is enough to connect to the vehicle's computer, a laptop or tablet with special software software. And yet, the trick is done. Thus, you can adjust the mileage, to the extent that it is fully reset. However, the attackers certainly sets a "real" performance, in order not to arouse suspicion.
And so, how can still determine that the car mileage is actually more than the odometer shows. First of all, the car will give external signs, such as the condition of the skin on the steering wheel, seat covers and pads on the pedals. In addition, you can ask the seller the service book in which shall be recorded all the car is. If this book is not, it certainly does not speak in favor of the car. But by far the most striking indicator of the age of the car is the state of its components and assemblies. However, these are only indirect indicators.
Accurately determine the mileage possible, despite the fact that he was a software torn. The fact that the modern car - it is a very complex system. It is packed with sensors and control units, and each of these sensors leads accounting run. And with these control units and the data just may issue a "twisted" the car. After reset indicators on all sensors - it is quite expensive. Some of them it will have to simply replace with new ones. Naturally, such a procedure does not make any sense, because a "twist" is worth more than the gain from the sale of more young machines. Therefore mileage is usually rolled only in the memory cell, is responsible for the performance on the odometer.
And so to determine what mileage the car is rolled, you need to connect to the computer. Previously, this could only be done with the help of special equipment. Now, in the digital age, it can make anyone with a smartphone that is running a special application. The app is called Carly. It connects using Bluetooth protocol with special Bluetooth-adapter. It is sold with the application. The adapter is connected to the to the OBD II connector. It then reads the data from all the memory cells of the car.
Carly is a complete diagnostic application that displays the error data in the system, the engine settings, gear boxes. State runs - just one of the many features of the application. If the application detects a mismatch mileage on the odometer with the performance of various sensors, on-screen warning will appear.
It is worth such an application with the Bluetooth-adapter from 50 to 65 euros. At the moment, it supports brand cars like BMW, MERCEDES, all brands included in the VAG group, PORSCHE, RENAULT and TOYOTA. Download the application on the official site: http://www.mycarly.com.
