Touch Screen Monitor in a Car Disadvantages

Most, if not all, cars manufactured today already have at least one computer installed. This computer is in charge of overseeing and controlling the engine. With the help of the many sensors – oxygen, air pressure, engine temperature, throttle position, knock, and air temperature sensors, the computer is able to receive the information it needs to help it adjust and monitor the engine as well as keep emissions as low as possible. This means that these different sensors send information to the computer to make better several car functionalities. By using these sensors, the computer is able to control fuel injectors, spark plugs, speed and emissions.

Now, depending on how expensive the car is, there can be a number of other types and sorts of other computers that are available and can be installed in automobile units. Majority of newly manufactured cars at this age and time have a touch screen monitor installed in the front dashboard (where ashtrays, radio, air conditioner vents are located). This modern accessory adds to the modern touch of your car as well as usefulness and ease in controlling functionalities, using maps and navigations and troubleshooting when you want your car to go through overhaul without involving its physical attributes. When overhauling instead of doing manual repairs, vehicles who have computers installed use a method called chip tuning. This is where a tuning chip process happens in which the software or program in the car's computer is reinstalled or rebooted to basically renew it along with the vehicle's performance. Vehicles that use diesel or have diesel engines and a diesel chip, it is commonly referred to as diesel remapping or diesel tuning. There is also another type of accessory which allows a sort of similar result, although it does not renew or reinstall the entire software it only tricks some signals sent. This device is called the Tuning Box.

Going back to touch screen monitors, it is also advised to prefer monitors programmed to use the finger as "stylus" rather than the made to use the actual stylus itself. This is because using your finger/s as pointer is way easier than having an extra item just to navigate through the monitor screen, especially when you are driving. Although touch screen monitors may be useful in many ways it also has quite a few disadvantages. Not all touch screen monitors are, well, beneficiary. There are issues that involve speed, accuracy, simplicity, proximity of screen and etc. But then again, it all depends on what type of touch screen monitor you are using.
