preface:

With the improvement of living standards, cars are no longer an unattainable product, and the situation that every family has a car has arrived. However, some lawbreakers also found a business opportunity, that is, "touch porcelain". It is said that senior "touch porcelain" professionals can earn 200000 yuan a month. There are many people driving BMW, Kaifeng Tiger and even several houses. How can our car friendship be shamed? How to prevent such social cancer? Also, when the car owner encounters a traffic accident liability dispute, it is best to provide strong evidence in front of the law, but how should we prove ourselves or hold others accountable? Fortunately, the invention of the DASH CAM has brought safety guarantee to our motorists. Nowadays, there are many brands of DASH CAM, and it has become a concern for car owners to purchase a good DASH CAM.

Today, as a car owner, I would like to introduce such a high-end intelligent voice rearview mirror to you. What are its skills? It not only has the above mentioned function of the DASH CAM, which is also my most concerned function, perfectly avoids the porcelain touch event, but also integrates multiple functions such as customized WeChat, ADAS system, electronic dog, online music listening and so on. The key is that as long as you say what you want to do, it will do according to your instructions, release your hands and let you concentrate on driving, which is the real trend of the future smart car market. The author also predicts that it will be the replacement of the future traditional tachograph, navigation, electronic dog and other automotive supplies. It also has a nice name - drive to ask if it is cute. It is a smart rear-view mirror brand owned by Wister. Next, follow me to explore.

Unpacking:

First, let's take a look at the packaging. The packaging style of the drive to ask is very simple. The main color of the package is black. The package box is designed in a rooftop style. On the front of the package box, the brand logo of the drive to ask is marked. Interestingly, the logo is like the "question mark" in the punctuation marks, which is very appropriate to its name "ask".

At the upper and lower joints, there is a circle of orange that adds a lot of vitality to the packaging box. On the back of the packaging box, the relevant configuration of the intelligent rear-view mirror is introduced in detail.

When opening the package, the first thing I saw was not the rear-view mirror, but its advertising color page, which was also designed to be more personalized. The back of the color page could be written with a mobile phone number, which could be used as a parking sign, and there were also related voice instructions. Take off the color page to see the protagonist to be introduced today. Ask if the mirror surface is covered with a frosting film to protect the screen. And the above very inspirational slogan, "It's easy not to say perfect", suddenly made me curious about this product. Below the rear-view mirror, there are relevant accessories, and they are equipped with independent packaging, surrounded by thick compressed foam packages, which can better protect the product from damage during transportation.

Ask about the accessories of the rear-view mirror. In addition to the Q3 console, it is also equipped with a special car metal bracket, a memory card and a flow card, quality certificate, user manual, power cord and GPS receiver, as well as a number of color pages of product introduction. Among them, the content of the manual is very comprehensive, and users can learn to operate by reading it.

Product appearance details:

After unpacking, let's talk about the details of 3. First of all, ask 3. My initial impression of the rear-view mirror is that it is relatively thick. Compared with the original rear-view mirror, it is relatively wide, the mirror surface is relatively bright, and it is also quite powerful when held in hand.

Q 3 The rearview mirror uses a 7-inch high-definition screen with a resolution of 1280X480, and the display effect is very delicate. The screen surface is covered with a 2.5D full fitting curved glass, the smooth surface is perfectly integrated with the body, and the design shows the texture. At the same time, in terms of size, it also takes into account the vision problem of the owner's friends, so that you can easily and clearly check the situation behind the car.

Q 3 The lower end of the rear-view mirror is neatly arranged and adopts a symmetrical design. A key is installed on the left and right sides respectively, as shown in the above figure. The left side is the power key, and the right side is the photo key. The power button can be pressed briefly to close the display screen. The shutdown here is not a real shutdown, but just to better observe the situation of the rear vehicles. When the navigation is turned on, it can still continue to navigate, and all functions can be used normally. Only after long pressing the power button for about 10 seconds will the machine be restarted. The small round holes around the buttons on both sides are the external playback cavity. The center position is where the flow card and memory card are placed. In order to prevent dust from entering, the rubber dust pad is also added.

The back of the rear-view mirror adopts a cambered design, which is similar to the original rear-view mirror, but more beautiful. From the perspective of design, it will perfectly fit the original vehicle, and at the same time, it can be more solid in later installation. The opening on the left is the heat dissipation hole, and the right side is the front camera. The opening matrix on the left side of the camera is the front external playback cavity hole. The 4R3W external speakers are used. The stereo sound effect and sound quality are good. It would be better if the dual speakers were used.

The front camera supports 720P and 1080P video recording, reaching 30 frames per second. The outer layer of the camera is also designed with a wear-resistant metal shell, and the camera supports 360 degree manual adjustment without dead angle. After installation, the owner can easily adjust to a suitable monitoring position.

Installation:

When the product is not received, you will receive an appointment message from the installation service network. After receiving the product, I couldn't wait to install it. It was already 4:00 pm when I went there. It was dark in winter in the north, but the master was very patient to install it. Before installation, check whether the accessories are complete. Next, the installation work officially begins.

First remove the original rearview mirror, then assemble the rearview mirror. Remove the trim pieces on both sides of the bracket hole, and then align the metal bracket with the screw hole for installation. There are screws in the parts. The master is very experienced, and the four screws will be installed in a short time.

Next, I planned to install the decorative pieces on both sides of the bracket hole back, but found that they could not be installed, so I had to give up. Fortunately, the rear-view mirror is installed in the front gear where the sun is hidden. However, it is recommended that the manufacturer can design a rubber ring to seal this place. First, it can play a role in dust-proof, but it can be more beautiful and reduce the resonance of the car body during driving. However, according to the staff, the support is purchased from a third party, and they will feed back problems to the third party in a timely manner. The service attitude is still worthy of praise!

After the bracket was installed, the careful teacher did not bother to omit the plastic trunking. After installing the trunking, it will be formally installed on the front windshield.

Clip in the mounting slot of the original rearview mirror, fix it with a screw, and then the wiring is debugged.

After installing the power cord and GPS chip, ask 3. The rearview mirror will automatically start up to test whether all functions are normal. After the test, it is time to sort out the wires.

For the new car I just bought, I still care about every place very much. The installation technician is also very careful. He skillfully stuffed the exposed wire into the interior with tools. The central control measuring board was installed, and the GPS positioning chip was placed in the A pillar. This is the end of the installation.

Function introduction:

The product and installation were introduced before, and the following chapters will give a detailed explanation of the functions of the Q 3 rearview mirror. First, let's talk about the system. Based on the Android 4.42 processing system, it is optimized and deeply customized, and easy to operate. The interface layout is very simple, and the icons are designed with large porcelain icons, which is convenient for the owner to operate.

There are three virtual keys on the left side of the home page interface. The top key is the return key, the center key is the home key, and the bottom key is the voice key, just like the key layout of Android phones. On the left side of the button, the position marked with a car pattern is the position where the real-time speed of driving is displayed, while the compass on the top indicates the driving direction and supports 8 directions. The center position is the time display area, and the red camera icon indicates the current working status of the DASH CAM. The rightmost position of the upper end is defined as the status bar, where the status icons of various functions of the rear-view mirror can be displayed, such as Bluetooth, GPS positioning status, 3G network and other information.

Let's introduce the use of icons again. In order to make it easy for the owner to operate, each icon is marked with a text logo. In fact, there is no need to explain too much. You will also understand that the red icon is the driving video function, and the white round button on it can take a picture with a touch. Similarly, the round button on the music of the blue icon on the right can play music by tapping it, and pause by tapping it again. The icons on the left and right sides integrate four functions: phone, navigation, cloud dog and settings. Click the+button below to customize the icons and placement, but only four functions can be added at most.

Ask 3. The built-in functions of the system are rich enough for daily use. In addition to the home page, there are the second page and the third page. There is no secondary menu, which is similar to the current mobile phone system. Just slide left and right to switch back and forth. The interface function layout of the second and third pages is similar to that of the first page, but the color is relatively simple.

There is also content in sliding up and down. Slide down to enter the application list. Click each icon to quickly open it. Slide up to access the shortcut menu. Just like the operation of a mobile phone, almost all the function switches are here, and you can also adjust the brightness of the screen.

set up:

In the setting menu, the functions are not so complicated. As an intelligent rear-view mirror, this is very comprehensive. Here, the owner can upgrade and update the system, and adjust the parking monitoring sensitivity and ADAS starting speed.

You can also scan the QR code to bind the device in the related options. After binding, remote monitoring, alarm and other functions can be enabled, which will be described in detail in the following chapters.

In order to give you a more detailed understanding of the system installed in Q&A 3, a video about operation was specially recorded for your reference.

From the video, we can see that the operation of the system is very smooth and the application runs very fast.

The following is a detailed introduction to the functions of Question 3:

On board WeChat customized version:

Ever thought about talking about WeChat while driving? And it will not affect your concentration on driving. Maybe you will say I'm a fool, but I really experienced it today. As we all know, driving to play WeChat or make phone calls, which are out of sight of driving, is actually very dangerous. Driving to ask 3 focuses on intelligent voice interaction. On board WeChat is the perfect embodiment of its powerful voice function, which solves the pain points of drivers who have social safety conflicts in driving.

Ask 3, the system has a built-in WeChat function. By scanning the WeChat QR code on the rearview mirror with the WeChat application on the mobile phone, the mobile phone will have a corresponding webpage prompt. Just click Confirm to log in.

Although it is a web version of WeChat that is logged in, it is still relatively lacking in functions compared with WeChat on the mobile phone, but chat is still enough. Driving should focus on safety. First, let's talk about the car WeChat interface. It's very simple. It can be said that only chat is a function. In the actual test, the voice recognition rate is really high when sending messages to the other party. The response to question 3 is also very fast. This effect has been beyond my expectation.

Voice phone:

Ask 3's free hands. Of course, the powerful voice interaction is also reflected in its telephone function, which is practical and indispensable for car owners to socialize. The phone interface is also not simple. The key sequence is similar to that of the mobile phone, so there will be no discomfort in the operation.

However, when the phone function is used for the first time, it can only be used normally after the Bluetooth function is enabled and paired successfully with the mobile phone. The pairing process is very simple. You only need your mobile phone, turn on Bluetooth in the rearview mirror, search for nearby devices, and then you can pair. The initial pairing code is 0000. After everything is ready, you can select to synchronize contacts on the phone settings page. At this time, all the contact data on the mobile phone will be synchronized to the rearview mirror. During the driving process, Just say the name of the person you want to call, ask, and it will automatically search and call. When a user has two numbers, you will be asked whether to choose the first or the second number, and the call will be made after the owner confirms it. This is really very humanistic.

tachograph:

For me, who detests the porcelain bumping party, I really care about the driving video function of Q 3. How about the clarity? How was your performance at night? Next, we begin to explore with various questions.

When the function of driving video is clicked on, the real-time video will appear in front of you. First, let's talk about the layout of the interface buttons. The top left corner is the return key, and you can return to the home page by clicking it. However, the video will not be terminated, but will continue to work in the background. Below the return button is the calibration button. The car owner will use this function when adjusting the position. When it is turned on, a red line will appear at the lower end of the screen, and there will be a striking text prompt. The car owner will adjust according to the prompt, and the recording position will be better. Below the calibration button is the pixel switch button. Click it to switch between 720P and 1080P specifications. The icon below the pixel switch button is the shooting duration setting button, which can be adjusted according to personal needs. There are three modes for the owner to choose: 1 minute, 3 minutes and 5 minutes. The default is 3 minutes. The bottom time is the current time and date. Take a look at the upper position on the right side, which is the view button. The captured videos and photos can be viewed here. Back to the bottom of the button is the photo button, so I won't introduce it here. The center position on the top of the screen is the current working status of the DASH CAM and the current recording time. All the contents are clear at a glance. It would be better if the displayed time number were a little larger.

After introducing the interface layout, what about the daytime and nighttime performance of the driving video?

According to the screenshots in the daytime and at night, the effect is better in the daytime, but after the picture is enlarged, the license plate will not be clearly seen, and the shooting effect is good when the car is close to the car in front. The effect at night is a bit unsatisfactory. Although the current implementation environment is relatively realistic, the license plates of the front car and the side plate are really not clear. Later, we consulted the official and learned that the original pictures were compressed because of the huge amount of driving record data. Considering the upload speed and traffic, and the smooth experience of users, The data will be compressed. At the same time, the official suggested that if the car owner needs to check the key driving records, he or she can directly look at them in the Ask 3 mirror, or use the TF card to directly export them, which will avoid unclear situations.

Daytime video

Night video

From the above two sets of videos, we can see that the effect of video resources recorded during the day is much better than that of photos. The license plates of the front cars can also be identified at a longer distance, while the license plates of the side cars can still be identified at a closer distance. Night time has not been greatly improved. But as far as the license plate is concerned, if only the vehicle is observed, it is clear enough in the daytime and enough at night.

Navigation:

In terms of navigation, Q3 cooperated with Godmap and customized this car and machine version in depth. How good is it? As a car owner, I am also very concerned about this issue.

Through the actual road test, the navigation and positioning are very accurate, the GPS chip is fast in searching for stars, and the operation is stable. Eight stars can still be found in remote places. When passing the traffic light intersection, there will also be a voice prompt of "Passed". When you plan a route, you will find a congested road section with a voice prompt in advance, and automatically find a new route for the owner to choose. As Q&A 3 is integrated with the electronic dog function, it will give voice alerts in time when finding the speed radar road sections, which is very considerate. There are more driving rules for the car owners to choose from in the navigation settings, such as evading the expressway, evading the toll, giving priority to the expressway, which are very comprehensive, so that the car owners can adjust the appropriate route according to different road sections.

E-dog:

The electronic dog, also known as the driving safety early warning device, is a vehicle mounted device consisting of hardware system and software system, including radar, GPS positioning, central processor and intelligent speed measurement early warning system. It mainly uses GPS satellite positioning and radar signal retrieval to remind the owner of the existence of speed measuring equipment such as electronic eye or speed measuring radar in advance, so as to prevent being fined and deducted points due to overspeed and other violations. It is divided into ordinary electronic dog, intelligent electronic dog, cloud electronic dog, etc. Question 3 introduced today is equipped with the cloud electronic dog function, which is more accurate and can be updated in real time.

The setting interface of the electronic dog is relatively simple. The electronic dog can be turned on or off here, and the broadcast mode can also be changed, which can be divided into simple broadcast and safe broadcast. The speed can also be fine adjusted, and the maximum value is 5. If the car owner wants to be quiet for a while, he can turn off the real-time traffic switch. The radar switch and mute setting also have corresponding switch options. The minimum mute mileage is 20km/h, and the maximum is 80km/h. The owner can adjust it according to his own needs. The function of the electronic dog is turned on by default. When the speed detection radar is detected, it will send out a voice prompt in time, which can be used with navigation to ensure safe driving and eliminate all overspeed fines.

ADAS warning:

What the hell is ADAS? Let's popularize science first. It is an Advanced Driver Assistant System, It is called ADAS for short. It is an active safety technology that uses various sensors installed on the vehicle to collect the environmental data inside and outside the vehicle at the first time, carry out the identification, detection and tracking of static and dynamic objects and other technical processing, so that the driver can detect possible dangers in the fastest time to attract attention and improve safety. Through understanding, it is really a very high-end technology. However, as a high-end intelligent rear-view mirror, Q 3 certainly has this function.

ADAS is fully enabled by default. In the setting menu, the starting speed can be set. There are 40km/h, 50km/h, 60km/h and 70km/h options. The default speed is 40km/h. As a novice owner, the earlier the starting speed is involved, the more secure the driving. With the use of electronic dog, driving video and vehicle navigation, the safety form is really against the sky. During driving, ADAS can accurately detect whether the lane is deviated, and whether the distance from the vehicle in front is too close to the real-time distance detection. It can warn the owner in advance, so that the owner can adjust the direction in time and drive safely.

Now let's take a look at the voice broadcast and warning prompt of Q&A 3 through a video recorded during driving.

It is easy to see from the video that Q 3 can really judge whether the lane deviates in a timely manner, and the distance from the car in front can also be monitored in real time. In addition, the current speed value is displayed. If the road section is covered by the speed radar, the car owner will be reminded about 1 km in advance to slow down. For novice drivers or old drivers, such safety tips are really very considerate, making the driving process more reassuring.

music:

The process of driving is very boring for the car owner. Music has become an indispensable medicine on the way. Question 3 also has music functions. In terms of resources, it has deep cooperation with Kuwo. A large number of genuine music will make you listen differently without losing any damage.

Q3 also has an innovative dual Bluetooth function, which is excellent in sound quality restoration. It also supports multiple access modes, such as FM transmission and AUX access. It also supports local music playing. You can download the songs you want to listen to to the memory card through the computer, and then insert the memory card into the rearview mirror to enjoy the happiness brought by the music. Although this operation is a bit troublesome, it saves a lot of data traffic, which is very worthwhile. Another way is to find a place with WiFi network for downloading, which is also very convenient. The interface of music is clear at a glance, so I will not repeat it here.

Having said so many functions and supporting voice control, is it really what I said? In order to give you a more detailed understanding of the voice function of Q&A 3, you'd better go to the video without saying much.

The whole process of voice control is really not blowing, the response is very fast, and the speech recognition rate is also very accurate. Through the test, it is found that it can be recognized even if it is not controlled according to the language instructions on the instruction color page. My guess is that the voice recognition of Q&A 3 has the function of focusing on key words, as long as the words you say are the same as the relevant instructions, Can be identified and manipulated. Voice recognition is really my favorite place. Driving is boring. I can not only listen to songs on voice demand, but also chat on WeChat. Asking 3 adds a lot of fun to me.

Parking monitoring:

No matter what the environment, there are always boring people who like to scribble on other people's cars. There is also a kind of scratch and bump of passing vehicles, which will cause serious damage to your car. What can we do then? Don't worry. Ask 3 also has the parking monitoring function, which can help you record everything that happens in front of the car in real time. However, this function can only be used after the owner binds the rear-view mirror device.

First, let's take a look at the options under the setting menu, where the car owner can turn the parking monitoring function on or off, and can also adjust the sensitivity level. What will be the experience effect of using it with the help of WeChat? Next, let me have a look.

After binding and asking 3 rear-view mirrors, let's first take a look at how many functions the assistant has. First, after entering the public account, the menu bar at the bottom of the interface is divided into three options: My car, My service and more. Each item contains multiple functions. Next, we will focus on his key functions. The book continues from the above to see whether the parking monitoring function is powerful.

As Q&A 3 has a built-in three-axis gravity sensor, when the car vibrates abnormally, it will trigger an alarm and send an alarm notice to the Q&A assistant on the mobile phone. The contents of the alarm notice are very detailed. It includes the alarm type, alarm time, alarm location, etc., so that the owner can clearly judge the car's condition, and can capture the abnormal photos at that time. The owner can view them through the assistant's photo retrieval function.

The vehicle positioning function has a very high accuracy, and the actual measurement is exactly the same as my current position. It also has the function of track playback, which can be easily browsed by zooming in the map.

When a friend comes to your house as a guest, or to pick up and see off the leader, but he is afraid of wasting time, what should he do if he takes the wrong way? Try asking the assistant's built-in function of "I want to pick up people". It's really very practical.

The car owner only needs to share the current device number to his friend's mobile phone WeChat, and when it is opened, it will automatically locate his friend's current location. At this time, just need his friend to send the location to the car owner, and the car owner will know his friend's current location clearly, which greatly reduces the waste of time.

Summary:

Through the use of this time, I found that Q 3 really helped me a lot during my driving, not to mention a novice driver like me. I am more and more lazy when I go out to ask about this 3 smart rear-view mirror. The compact body contains many functions, such as navigation, parking monitoring, driving video, electronic dog and ADAS early warning. In terms of entertainment, it has deep cooperation with Kuwo, providing a large amount of lossless music. What's more interesting is the in-depth customized vehicle WeChat, which can even voice chat all the way, which is unexpected. After talking about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages. First of all, the system still runs smoothly when driving video, electronic dog, ADAS warning and navigation are enabled. However, if you use it for a long time, you will get stuck. If you increase the running memory to 2G, the experience will be better. Then there is the imaging problem of the camera. The performance in the daytime is relatively satisfactory, but the performance at night is slightly unsatisfactory. I hope that the night vision can be improved and optimized in the future. However, according to the comprehensive evaluation during the experience period, Q&A 3 has solid materials and flexible voice interaction in terms of workmanship, which greatly improves driving safety and truly frees hands; In addition, the features are comprehensive, which avoids the simultaneous layout of multiple electronic products in the car. The space is chaotic, and the operation is simple. It is a very good smart voice rear-view mirror, which is worth recommending to car owners.
