The “simplest” on-board computer for the Lada Granta is the BC STATE X1-G. It is compatible with ITELMA M74, M75 units, as well as BOSCH ME17.9.7. The connection is made to the OBD connector, which is located in the cabin. No additional power is required. We will look at how to install it, as well as how to update the firmware. Sometimes you need to update it immediately to get compatibility with a new car. Therefore, read the review carefully.

Fast and Furious/Plasma mode
Let's dwell on some of the subtleties and functions of the updated on-board computer that were not found in previous versions. The “Afterburner/Plasma” button has been added, which allows the plasma to start working.
The computer fits perfectly into the interior of the cabin
This function is intended for plasma heating of the spark plugs of your Lada. This effect occurs due to the supply of special pulses with an energy of 0.04 J and a frequency of 150 Hz to the spark plugs. At this moment, air ionization occurs in the cylinders, and then the heating of the electrodes of the spark plugs begins.
Thanks to this function, you can be sure that your Lada will start even in the most severe frost and in conditions of high humidity. The on-board computer on the Lada will help you cope with bad weather. It will also eliminate the possibility of filling the spark plugs with gasoline. A special button will help the driver to easily find this item in the menu. This option becomes especially relevant for the Lada owner at sub-zero temperatures, when the visibility of the display and its response are significantly reduced.
With the help of the on-board computer for Kalina, you will always be aware of how your car operates and will be able to track its main technical characteristics.
Versatile alternative
Of course, thanks to their various mounting locations, Multitronics on-board routers can compete with the States. Powered by a 32-bit processor, multitronics are precise and fast in operation. If a car enthusiast has the opportunity to buy such an on-board computer, then the car will be under excellent control thanks to functions such as:
- a large number of diagnostic protocols, including extended ones;
- transfer and save all driving statistics to a personal computer;
- voice accompaniment;
- parking radars, etc.
All of the above functions of the State on-board vehicle have been added to the multitronics. In addition, the latter have easy setup for operation and a convenient user interface. But due to all this, the price will be much higher than that of a compact and more suitable State Grant.
Initially, it was possible to buy on-board computers for the Lada Granta only from the official one. Since sales of this car started at the end of 2011, for some time the unavailability of additional equipment for the Lada made it not very popular among car enthusiasts. However, it is now possible to buy on-board computers from official dealers and various suppliers of automotive products and equipment.
Installing an on-board computer allows you to monitor problems in the operation of the internal systems of the car. The most popular device model STATE GRANTA x1 is already used by many motorists.
Owners note the ease of use of the device and its high quality. It includes 30 useful functions, which are controlled using two buttons.

Video “Main functions of the BC X-5 M in Kalina”
The video below demonstrates the options that the device performs (the video was filmed and published by the channel In Sandro’s Garage).
Many experienced car owners, when purchasing a new Kalina 2, immediately notice a significant drawback of this car - it does not have a coolant temperature indicator. Fortunately, solving this problem is quite simple using the on-board computer (BC). The most popular bookmaker for the new Kalina is State X1-G. This on-board computer was developed for the Granta, but due to the structural similarity of these cars, it is also suitable for the second generation Kalina. The manufacturer himself recommends this particular BC for Kalina 2, so no problems should arise.
Lada Kalina on-board computer errors state
The State X1 on-board computer, which is not at all large in size, is capable of performing a variety of climatic, route and diagnostic functions. It is installed on cars of the VAZ family - Kalina, Niva, 2123, 2110 and others.
- What Staff X1 can do - information about computer functions
- Diagnostics with a scanner - are the components of your car working normally?
- Self-check - deciphering error codes
1 What Staff X1 can do - information about computer functions
- Diagnostic tester. Performs the function of a digital speedometer, tachometer, controls the operation of the power unit and throttle valve (tuned or standard), reads system diagnostic codes, notifies about the electrical voltage in the car and the engine temperature.
- Trip computer. Useful and convenient mode. In it, the on-board computer on the VAZ State shows the driving speed (average value) for one trip, the distance traveled by the car, the remaining fuel in the tank and its consumption per trip, and travel time. The BC also predicts the driving range on the remaining fuel and has a fuel counter.
- Supervisor. The device is equipped with an idle time counter and non-volatile memory; it notifies the driver about the direction indicators and dimensions not being turned off, as well as about a rollback (spontaneous) of the vehicle.
- Signaling device. The state reports exceeding the speed threshold, problems with the on-board network, and potentially dangerous overheating of the power unit for the car.
- On-board computer VAZ 21099
- Checking the throttle position sensor
- Dingo on-board computer - practicality on a minimal budget
- Auto scanner for self-diagnosis of any car
In addition, State X1 has three additional functions that appeal to domestic motorists. The Tropic mode involves automatic control of the car’s cooling system, the Plasmer is responsible for drying the spark plugs and their subsequent warming up to a temperature that allows a cold start of the engine without problems, the Afterburner resets when switching fuel from gas to gasoline and vice versa.
Improved model
The State 115X23-M model, used on Samara-2 and Samara, is considered more advanced. What distinguishes it from its previous relative is its two-line display, which contains twice as much information.
The option to calculate cost and mileage has been added to the existing functions. There are also additional sections:
- "Dynamics".
- "Taxi".
- "Control XX".
- “Engine diagnostics” (monitors the operation of the injectors and the pump pumping gasoline).
- "Sleep mode"
- Reminder of the need to undergo maintenance or continue the MTPL policy.
Operation of injection cars
It is imperative to comply with the requirements that will facilitate the operation of the car. In order for the on-board computer “State” of the VAZ-2110 to produce errors as little as possible, and to increase comfort, be sure to adhere to the following recommendations:
- Carry out soundproofing - this will get rid of unnecessary noise. For example, the fuel pump is quite loud. And it can be inconvenient.
- Be sure to treat all body elements with anti-corrosion compounds.
- The vehicle should only be refueled with recommended brands of fuel. If you fill with low-octane gasoline, the engine will not work properly.
- Timely maintenance will solve any problems regarding the operation of the motor.
Connection and configuration features
The on-board computer is connected based on the manual. It is important to disconnect the ground terminal from the battery before starting work.
The following manipulations are:
- Remove the console and unscrew the screws.
- Using clamps, connect the BC wires coming from the block with identical ones in color coming from the cigarette lighter. After all the contacts have been assembled, assemble the structure and connect the removed buttons, installing them in their places.
- Connect the 6-pin harness block and install the BC.
- After this, you can return the battery terminal to its place.
- The BC parameters are configured depending on the device and machine model.
Price issue
You can take a closer look at the price and decide for yourself whether it’s worth purchasing the device using photographs.
List of parameters displayed by the standard on-board computer Lada Kalina
The trip computer installed in the Lada Kalina is designed to display operational information on the screen, consisting of data obtained during the operation of the vehicle. So, only the following indicators are visually displayed:
- Vehicle mileage in kilometers. It is displayed in the top line and is the same constant criterion that is constantly on the screen.
- Time in 24 hour format. This parameter requires special settings to be made according to the current time. In order to make the correct settings, you must use the “Reset” button and hold it until the dial starts flashing. This is a kind of signal that allows you to set the clock.
- The next parameter shows the amount of fuel consumed by the car during the last trip. This criterion requires constant zeroing, since the device does not do this on its own. This leads to the fact that the information must be constantly reset before leaving, otherwise a record of all fuel consumed since the last reset will be kept.
- Average travel speed calculated during the last trip. This criterion also requires constant resetting, since otherwise the on-board computer for Kalina will calculate this indicator for the entire time starting from the moment of the last reset.
- The number of kilometers a person can travel before the engine stops completely. This indicator is calculated based on the current driving mode, so it may change if the pace or speed of driving changes.
- Instantaneous fuel consumption indicator. Its values vary between 0-20 l and are determined by the load on the engine resulting from fuel injection.
- Average fuel consumption indicator. The computer for Kalina calculates this criterion independently, based on speed values and the overall driving pace.
- An indicator of time spent on the road. It is calculated from the moment of departure and requires systematic reset to obtain reliable information.
- Air temperature. This parameter is measured and displayed on the screen using thermal sensors included in the design of the device.
The on-board computer included in the Lada Kalina car provides the user with a minimum set of information. However, such a device is quite sufficient for understanding the state of the machine and making operational decisions.

Additional functions
"Tropic" function. Automatic fan control
Allows you to change the cooling fan activation threshold. I set the response temperature to +98°C.
Function "Plasmer". Drying and warming up candles
In difficult weather conditions (humid weather, freezing temperatures), pre-drying and warming up the spark plugs several times increases the likelihood of a successful launch.
“FAST AND THE FURIOUS” function
Resetting the controller to its original factory settings. In this case, the dynamics and fuel consumption will be restored to normal values.
Indicator of not switched off lights or dimensions
When you turn off the ignition, there is a sound notification that the headlights or headlights are not turned off.
Speed Warning
It is possible to set up an audible warning about speeding. I don’t use this function because I always try to adhere to the speed limit.
