Does an OBD window lifter affect the car?
2 Answers
An OBD window lifter may harm the car, as program modifications could potentially cause confusion in the vehicle's system. Below is a detailed introduction to car automatic window lifters: Non-wire-cutting window lifters: Non-wire-cutting automatic window lifters are widely used for automatic window lifting functions. They achieve the automatic window lifting function by connecting a decoder in series at the original car's window lifting circuit interface. This method does not affect the car's wiring and has a relatively high safety factor. Wire-cutting automatic window lifters: This type of window lifter requires cutting the wires, and the cut interface is very fragile. It is prone to circuit interruption due to excessive current causing temperature rise, and in severe cases, it may even lead to spontaneous combustion.
After installing the OBD window controller, pressing the key automatically raises or lowers the windows, which saves a lot of hassle. However, this device is plugged into the diagnostic port, and while it's fine during normal driving, it consumes a small amount of power when parked for long periods. Once, I forgot to turn off the auto mode, and after two days of parking, the battery showed low voltage. It's advisable to choose a model specifically designed for your car and avoid buying cheap knockoffs, as they might cause error codes leading to sluggish window response. These devices are quite common now, and reputable brands are generally compatible, but it's important to pay attention to the car's electrical circuit load. While convenience is improved, managing the details is crucial. In short, it works great for daily use, but don't neglect battery maintenance.
