1、 Preface

The ZUS car charger is eye-catching because of its compact appearance, which is known as military grade workmanship. It has the functions of fast charging, car searching, etc. The plastic film box is clearly printed with "Parking Time Alert", that is to say, reminding the parking time is also one of the characteristics of this car charger.

2、 Appearance

Zus has a very cool shape. Its appearance is all black and matt, very textured, and its size is also very small. The logo below is the icon of Nonda (the manufacturing company of Zus). As shown in the figure above, there are two clips on both sides of the car charger, which is a unique design that is inserted into the charging slot to prevent looseness. The following figure shows the car charger on one side, and the other side is completely symmetrical.

The following figure shows the USB port. Careful friends can see that the USB port is worn. Because the car charger is inserted into the USB port with a plastic clip in the box to fix the car charger, I used force to pull the plastic clip open and wear the USB port. Later, I saw from the Internet that netizens had used scissors to cut the buckle, so I knew the seriousness of the matter. I would like to remind my friends not to make such low-level mistakes like me. This plastic snap is a unique label to prevent it from being replaced by hand during transportation.

3、 Trial

1. Charging

The charging function does not require downloading APP. However, it is necessary to insert the ZUS vehicle charger into the charging slot, and the charging can be normal only when the vehicle is powered on. Note that the charging function only requires the vehicle to be powered on, not started. There are three breathing lights on the logo of the Zus car charger, which will flash when plugged into the car. If the app corresponding to Zus is connected, it will become constantly on. At the same time, there is light in the USB port. This ensures that the USB port can be found accurately for charging in a dark environment.

It says on the ZUS that the input is 12-24v, the maximum output is 5v, 4.8A, and each port can output 2.4A at most. You can use full speed to charge two iPads at the same time or 。

2. Download App

As shown on the outer box, this car charger only supports Apple and Google. Therefore, Android users should be cautious. In fact, ZUS defines this car charger as "navigation" rather than "car charger", that is, navigation and Locating the car is the biggest highlight of this car charging promotion.

After downloading, you need to sign up to register.

Then connect Bluetooth.

In this way, the ZUS car charger is set and the navigation can start.

3. Navigation

The navigation function of ZUS is completed by calling the Gaud Map when the network is connected, but the Gaud Map App can conduct voice navigation according to the target location entered by the user to guide the user to select the most optimal path. However, ZUS can only display the route of the vehicle, and there is no voice broadcast, nor can it guide the driver. This is a bit difficult.

Basic steps: power on the car - plug in the car charger - Bluetooth - data - navigation - parking power off - taking pictures - reminding the parking time - car searching and positioning.

The blue circle shown in the above figure is the position of the vehicle where ZUS is located. The difference between the two figures is the size of the blue circle. This brings about the system setting problem of the following photo. Among them, Unit has two options: Feet and Meter, which means that one is calculated in feet and the other is measured in meters. In particular, the bottom red REMOVE. After each vehicle positioning, navigate again. The vehicle position shown in ZUS is the final position of the last vehicle. The user needs to reposition the vehicle position through the REMOVE key.

4. Locating car search

After each stop, the following interface will appear in ZUS, asking the owner to take photos and locate the vehicle to record the location and time of the vehicle. Here we will introduce this function in detail. In China, there are time limits for parking in many shopping malls. For example, it is free within one hour. If it exceeds one hour, it will be charged at 4 yuan/hour. In overseas, overseas or Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, there is a toll parking space on the roadside, and the owner needs to put in the coin after parking, and drive away within this limited time, or you will receive a traffic police ticket. At this time, ZUS will effectively remind the vehicle of the Last parking time. This function is very practical.

As shown in the right figure above, the owner has parked the car for 1 hour and 8 minutes, the car is 2.8 kilometers away, and the direction of parking is indicated. The owner can find a car according to this prompt.

4、 Improvements

1. The navigation function can call all Gaud navigation, add the target position, and broadcast the optimal path with voice to prevent drivers from being distracted when driving.

2. If ZUS wants to occupy the Chinese market, it should add a Chinese app.

3. If Bluetooth is turned off when the vehicle is driving, ZUS will continuously send message notifications, which will cause disturbance to the vehicle owner. You must turn off the notification of ZUS or turn on Bluetooth 24 hours a day. As shown below:

4、 Inserting the ZUS car charger into the charging tank will cause considerable appearance wear on the charging head. The appearance should be further optimized to make it more suitable for the charging tank of the vehicle.
