I've never understood the "board" part. I assume that the original German is bordcomputer. Maybe there's a better translation of "bord". Might it be "onboard computer"?How about Board Computer?

They are definitely words . . . I mean, my wife suggested that it dispensed Birth Control. So why not?How about Board Computer?
Onboard Computer would be a better translation. In german, computer is "Rechner". I guess the name of the button got lost in translation. I understand the phrase "board computer" does not exist in the english language or is it grammarwise incorrect?I've never understood the "board" part.

I think it’s Board ControlHow about Board Computer?
My (US) i3 (2017) always has the adapter plugged in and I didn’t recode anything for it. No alarm has ever sounded.The Vgate iCar 2 WiFi adapter is a simple WiFi base station in that one's smartphone could connect to it so that the mi3 (iOS) or electrified (Android) app could display the current charge level. I doubt that it has sufficient power to be able to connect to it from within one's home, but I've never tested its range.
I don't know how the WiFi base station that provides WiFi access in your driveway would be able to connect to a Vgate iCar 2 WiFi adapter.
U.S. i3's sound the burglar alarm when an OBD adapter remains plugged in for some period of time (not sure how long) after an i3 is shut down. This can be turned off via coding, but it would make an i3 slightly less secure if someone could plug in an OBD adapter without the driver knowing.
If I ever heard someone using the phrase "board computer" in English -- which I haven't -- but if I did, I'd guess maybe it was one of those little rotating paper disc calculator thingies, in this case made specifically for carpentry . . . or maybe a device to calculate the cost of a meal plan, e.g. at a school dormitory cafeteria.Onboard Computer would be a better translation.

Interesting!My (US) i3 (2017) always has the adapter plugged in and I didn’t recode anything for it. No alarm has ever sounded.
Brrrr..... no offence but.... Big Brother techInteresting!
I participated in a state pilot project to assess the possibility of replacing the state gasoline tax with a charge based on distance driven and maybe a vehicles weight. The technology used an OBD dongle to transmit the distance driven via a cellular radio in the dongle.
I'd rather pay a road tax based on the distance I drove in a lightweight i3 than paying $50 per year as I currently do regardless of the distance I drive and the weight of of my vehicle. Fuel taxes aren't covering road repair costs and will continue decreasing as more EV's, PHEV's, and HEV's are sold, so a fair change is needed. Charging EV owners a flat charge isn't fair.Brrrr..... no offence but.... Big Brother tech
I think if it draws power - that’s what causes it. When the alarm is on.My (US) i3 (2017) always has the adapter plugged in and I didn’t recode anything for it. No alarm has ever sounded.
