1、 Preface

As we all know, cars are divided into high, middle and low configurations. Generally, only the high configuration version of a car has a multi-function steering wheel and navigation system. However, most of the cars we drive do not have a multi-function steering wheel and navigation. Even if they do, most of them cannot use the steering wheel to control navigation. Now we have“ Yilian Fangkong ”The intelligent safe driving assistant can turn your defense line wheel into an intelligent steering wheel, and use the thumb to navigate, music, call and other functions. During driving, you don't need to pick up the phone and look at your mobile phone any more. Look ahead and move your thumb.

2、 Unpacking

The overall packaging is white, using the most popular packaging method at present. The front is the product's photo and name, and the surrounding is the logo of Yilian Fangkong.

Open it and have a look. It is very similar to the mobile phone package. There is a plastic groove in the middle, and the product is embedded in the groove. There should be instructions and battery under the opening groove. "Should" is used here, but I forgot to put the instruction manual and battery for the trial product this time...... ⊙ ﹏ ⊙ ‖∨

The console controlled by Yilian has only five simple buttons, the middle of which is the home page, and the other four buttons have colors, which correspond to the color function module of the mobile app, which will be explained in detail later. Received this is my favorite color, blue. In addition to blue, there are five colors: red, gold, silver and black.

The black frosted watchband is well integrated with the steering wheel, and can be adjusted to fit the steering wheel better. It should not shake during operation. The overall design is vehicle gauge level, and the operating temperature range is - 20 °~70 °.

The elaborate CMF design process realizes the harmony between the exterior color and the interior of the car, and the elaborate design is more high-end. (CMF design process under popular science is probably a surface treatment process combining various aspects). We can also see from the pictures that the details of its workmanship are fairly good, and the overall design is similar to the buttons and materials of most car interiors.

When the wrist buckle is opened, it can be seen that it is a metal buckle, which can be more solid and durable. The wrist strap is very long, and there are many adjustment holes, which can be said to meet all the steering wheels on the market.

The wrist strap buckle is fixed through the battery slot. When the battery slot is opened, the wrist strap buckle can move. The following is the place where the battery is installed. Is it because the battery is transported by air, and it is not allowed to transport the battery by air?

It's a CR2032 button battery. It's really hard to buy it when working in villages and towns. I bought two spare batteries at a time. The installation method is as shown in the figure, with the positive pole facing down.

Take a look at the wrist strap and the steering wheel fitting part, which have strip anti slip lines to prevent sliding after installation. It is worth mentioning that Yilian Fangkong adopts the CSR scheme of the global leading brand in the Bluetooth field to better ensure the stability of mobile phones. It supports 4 Bluetooth 4.0, and the maximum distance is 10m.

At ordinary times, the wrist strap is not firm when it comes into the market and is easy to open, but the design at this angle is more stable when it is placed on the steering wheel and should not be removed.

3、 Using

Yilian Fangkong supports iPhone 4S and Android 4.3 and above devices with Bluetooth 4.0. It can be said that the mainstream configuration of smart phones can be used at present, and too old phones can not be used.

My steering wheel is covered with a thick leather steering wheel cover. When installing, the wrist strap buckles into the last hole, which is very strong, so the steering wheel with the cover can also be used.

It is installed in the place where the thumb of the right hand is easy to touch. The four keys are easy to press, and the right hand of the driver does not need to move. However, it can't be installed on the left. It can be installed, but the phone app screen corresponding to the four buttons is reversed. It must be installed in the right hand direction.

The four buttons correspond to the functions of the four directions of the mobile phone app, so pressing the left button will turn it upside down, left and right. The key transmission function is less than 5 seconds, which can be said to reflect very quickly.

Scan the QR code or search for "Yilian" in the major app stores to download the app. After downloading, the hardware will automatically prompt for upgrading and upgrade through OTA. First, you need to apply for an account in the personal center. Of course, it supports joint login on QQ and other platforms.

The personal center has many functions. You can download the maps of places you often go to first, and save traffic when navigating. It can link to the screen of the vehicle navigator. There are tutorials.

We need to open the mobile phone Lanyan, click "Hardware Link" here to link the hardware. After connecting, you can check the hardware version number and change the binding device from this option. Yilian Fangkong only supports linking one mobile phone. If you want to change the mobile phone connection, you need to unbind it first.

In "My Footprint", you can view our navigation mileage, mileage ranking list and map details of footprints.

Look at the options in the settings. The navigation process can also play road conditions and electronic eyes in full. The on and off duty reminder function can set the time of on and off duty, and the mobile phone will have a reminder.

Take a look at the main interface, which is divided into four areas, corresponding to the four color buttons of the Yilian square control button: red, yellow, blue and green. The circle in the middle returns to this interface. The blue area is a quick navigation meeting/company. You need to set the location, and then click to open the navigation for going home and going to the company.

Let's take a look at the navigation interface. Four areas, red, yellow, blue and green, can be selected by pressing the corresponding button of Yilian Square Control. Home and company addresses need to be set by yourself, while favorites and history are the same functions as ordinary navigation. Enter the destination to search for routes for navigation, and common routes can be added to favorites for quick navigation.

The navigation is based on Goddard navigation, which is highly accurate and can be updated in real time. You can view the route overview, mute, re plan the route and end the navigation. After the navigation, the total distance, time consumption, speed and other information are also displayed.

Look at the music. The same four color keys are Previous, Next, Channel Selection and Play Pause. In addition to playing local music, it also supports online radio stations, koala FM and multi listening FM. Of course, you must set the channel and track you want to listen to in advance before switching.

With the same four module design, call records and contacts can be viewed manually by flipping the screen. Of course, if you need to manually click the mobile phone screen for paging and dialing, you can't perform shortcut operations. It is better to set the address book in advance and dial through the voice assistant. One VIP contact can be set. The most commonly used one can be set as VIP. Of course, my VIP is my wife.

The screen of the home page can also be flipped. In addition to the home screen, there are 4 screens. You can add other apps in your phone to quickly open them.

Speaking of the most powerful "voice assistant", we can completely use our thumbs and control everything with our mouth. Double click the Home button in the middle of Yilian Fangkong to access the Voice Assistant. We can give orders directly. For example, call xxx, navigate to xxx, play music, and open xxx (you can open any app in your phone, which is too convenient).

4、 Link car speakers

In fact, it is easy to solve this problem. You can link your mobile phone to the car's AUX interface through an AUX audio cable. You can also send one package for more than ten yuan online.

If you feel that the connection is not beautiful, you can install a car borne Bluetooth player, use your mobile phone to link the car borne Bluetooth player, and the car borne Bluetooth player can send out radio channels. Turn on the car borne system radio and jump to the corresponding signal channel.

Of course, we can find an old replaced mobile phone to use in the car. This will save the trouble of installing mobile phones back and forth.

5、 Postscript

In general, "Yilian Fangkong" is a very intelligent and convenient new product. It can make the ordinary steering wheel more intelligent, and can greatly reduce the number and time of looking down at your mobile phone while driving, which greatly increases the safety of driving. It solves the problem of car phone, car music, car navigation, and at the same time, it can also open the mobile app with one button, and support full range voice control. The price of only 199 yuan is also very powerful. It is recommended that people who own cars buy it. It can be said that it is an essential equipment for driving.

But it also has shortcomings, for example, left-handed people can not use it well. The navigation can't download offline voice, and online music consumes too much traffic. However, it can also be ignored relatively. The traffic used by navigation is not much, and music can be downloaded in advance when the traffic is not much, and local songs can be played during driving. It can be said that there is still room for further optimization.

At present, crowdfunding has just ended, and the App has also been updated in several versions. We are looking forward to the final mass production version and a more perfect App. After mass production, it is necessary for you as the owner to acquire one for convenience and driving safety.
