On-board computer Konnwei KW206 on Renault Kaptur 2016 ~ 2021: what is it
The unique Chinese-designed device is a powerful scanner. The on-board computer (BC) KW206 is installed only on models of cars manufactured after 1996, where there are diagnostic OBDII connectors. The type of fuel, as well as the country of origin of the car, do not matter for installing the device.
On-board computer Konnwei KW206
Autoscanner allows you to instantly and simultaneously display on the screen 5 out of 39 different operating parameters of the car. These are the main operational indicators for the driver: vehicle speed, temperature of the power unit, engine oil and coolant. With one flick of a finger, the car owner learns about fuel consumption at a particular moment, the operation of motion and boost sensors, and other controllers. As well as the voltage of the battery and generator.
In addition, smart equipment signals the excess of the permissible speed on a section of the route, reads and clears error codes.
Device design
With the Konnwei KW206 electronic device, you do not need to look for the necessary data on the instrument panel: all information is displayed on a 3,5-inch color touch screen.
The on-board computer looks like a miniature module in a plastic case, with a mounting platform and a screen.
In a Renault Kaptur car, drivers consider the top panel of the radio to be a convenient place.
Principle of operation and features
For the scanner to work, you do not need to drill holes, lift the casing: the device is simply connected with a cord to the standard OBDII connector. Through this port, the autoscanner is connected to the main electronic engine control unit. From here it transmits information to the LCD display.
The distinctive characteristics of the Konnwei KW206 BC are as follows:
- The device supports the interface in several languages, including Russian.
- Gives the requested data without delay.
- Updates quickly and free of charge via the KONNWEI Uplink App.
- Automatically switches between imperial and metric units. For example, kilometers are converted to miles, degrees Celsius are converted to Fahrenheit.
- Maintains optimal screen brightness at night and day by matching the parameters with the light sensor.
- Turns off when the engine is stopped: it is not necessary to pull out the cable from the OBDII port.
- Recognizes general and specific error codes.
And one more important feature of the device: when the engine control lamp lights up, the autoscanner finds the cause, turns off the check (MIL), clears the codes and resets the display.

Customer reviews about the on-board computer
You can find a lot of driver reviews on the Konnwei KW206 BC on the net. An analysis of the opinions of real users shows that most of the owners are satisfied with the work of the autoscanner.
Alexander:
A worthwhile thing for self-diagnosing a car. I drive an Opel Astra 2001: the device issues errors without delay. Very understandable Russian-language menu, huge functionality for such a small device. But when trying to test on the Skoda Roomster, something went wrong. Although the car is younger - 2008 release. I haven't figured out why yet, but I'll figure it out in time.
Daniel:
Excellent sideboard. I was already pleased that the package arrived quickly from Aliexpress - in 15 days. I didn’t like, however, the clumsy localization of Russian. But these are trifles: everything is correctly described in English, I figured it out safely. The first thing I wanted to do was to update the BC. I did not immediately understand how. I teach those who do not know: first hold down the OK key, and then insert the USB connector into the PC. Update Mode will light up on the display. Then the Uplink program starts to see the onboard computer.
Nikolai:
At Renault Kaptur, only since 2020, they began to display the engine temperature on a panel board, and even then it is indistinct: some cubes appearing. Since my car is older, I bought a Konnwei KW206 on-board computer. The price, in comparison with the domestic "Multitronics", is loyal. The technical characteristics and functionality are impressive, the installation is simple. I was pleased with the color and sound warning about violation of the speed limit (you set the limit value yourself in the settings). I put the device on the radio panel, but then I read that it can also be mounted on a sun visor: the screen flips programmatically. In general, the purchase is satisfied, the goal is achieved.
Anatoly:
Stylish thing, decorates the interior. But it's not that. It was simply amazing how much information can be obtained from one device: as many as 32 parameters. What is missing: a speedometer, a tachometer - this is understandable, but all sorts of angles, sensors, temperatures of all technical fluids, expenses, and so on. Rich functionality, it really reads errors. Recomend for everybody.
