How to tune the interior of a domestic Lada Largus?

Let's take a closer look at tuning the gear knob in the Lada Largus. This activity is quite simple, but requires extreme care and scrupulousness. Otherwise, you risk being left without the pen itself. The thing is that you need to make holes in it into which the wires will be pulled.

In order to carry out these actions, first we remove the handle itself and get rid of the casing. This is quite simple to do; you need to unscrew several screws that are hidden under plastic tabs. When the handle remains in its original form without casing, we proceed to attaching four LEDs.

The wires from them need to be inserted into the holes; we drill holes in the handle at a certain angle. This is where you show all your caution and restraint. After the holes are ready, we hide the wires in them. The next step is connecting the connectors. Before connecting them, do we assemble the handle and pass the wire through the resistor? which has a positive polarity, and at the output we have a current of 20 mA.

Use sealant for more secure fastenings, this way you will protect yourself from doing double work. Now it's time to connect the microswitches. In this case, we need the switch itself so that when the lock is closed, the backlight goes out and only works when the headlights or side lights are on.

To achieve this effect, it is necessary to ensure its stable operation. We take a wire, which must be multi-core, and attach it to the free end of the microswitch, then use zip ties to attach its free end to the lock rod. Next, wrap the loose wire with electrical tape. That's all, the gear knob illumination is ready.

Tuning the Lada Largus can consist not only of reworking and improving the interior, but also of changing the suspension, clutch, and engine as a whole. Alloy wheels are often installed on it. All this only adds sophistication and comfort to this car.

The lack of normal reviews of the Lada Largus Cross makes the crossover very secretive and incomprehensible to the future buyer. Based on the data we received, the manufacturer could have better changed the appearance of the Cross project to make it more like a cross-country vehicle.

The big disadvantage of the Cross is the lack of technical changes that could be considered as improvements. But perhaps we want too much from a domestic concern - development will be gradual and will delight drivers with pleasant surprises.

Types of tuning

There are several types of car work. The differences lie in the degree and area of impact.

Regions	Improvements
External.	Working with external elements of the car that do not affect driving performance, have a decorative function
Internal	Refinement of the car interior, addition of accessories to increase comfort;
Engineering works.	Changing driving characteristics, increasing engine power. This type of work is safer to carry out in specialized salons.

Let's start with the fact that initially the manufacturer was maximally concerned with the issue of comfort in the car, minimizing the need for modifications to the car. Tuning is an action that in some cases may require additional marks to be made in the technical passport of the vehicle, and sometimes may be completely prohibited by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Therefore, when trying to give your car individuality, you should do it within reasonable limits.

In terms of the technical part, you can improve the Lada Largus in two main ways: by tuning either the engine or the suspension. The first upgrade option will help improve the dynamics of the car, and the second will help improve its stability.
If priorities in tuning are given to appearance, then restyling the exterior of the body is optimal. You can also modernize the interior of the car, but this measure is aimed at increasing aesthetic comfort specifically for the people in the car.
The remaining tuning options are more or less applied to the two main ones mentioned in the two previous paragraphs. An additional type of modernization is determined taking into account the preferences of a particular car owner.
