Powerful, watch more, measure three mainstream OBD vehicle-mounted devices.

　　The Internet of Vehicles is the hottest topic in recent years. No matter whether you understand the true meaning of the Internet of Vehicles, if you don’t talk to others abOUT it, you will always feel out. OBD interface and the 7-inch and 8-inch display screen in the car have obviously become the entrance for many enterprises to enter the internet of vehicles, and such products have emerged in an endless stream in recent years. Today, I will talk to you about the strength of the mainstream OBD products on the market and whether these products have the ability to change our car life.

　　Which products have we selected for evaluation?

　　IVoka MINI X (Personal Edition), Tencent Lubao Box (Beta Edition) and Yuanzheng golo4. If you know anything about OBD, you must know these three products. These three products have been listed or tested to the outside world one after another this year, and there are a lot of forward-looking industry articles about these three products on the Internet. In this article, we will not talk about the industry prospects, the revolution of in-vehicle systems, etc., but only evaluate the practicality of these three products, and finally let the test data and results speak.

　　iVoka MINI X

　　IVoka MINI X is an in-vehicle system developed by Shanghai Botai Sunda Company, which Botai described as "a wearable device of a vehicle". After the iVoka MINI X is plugged into the OBD interface in the car, the equipment can collect data such as vehicle fault code, mileage, fuel consumption and user driving behavior. Finally, through the data interaction with the cloud, the information is immediately transmitted to the bound mobile phone, and the vehicle is monitored in real time through the mobile APP.

　　To put it simply, iVoka MINI X can realize six functions, such as automobile collision alarm, accurate position monitoring, full travel record, instant warning of vehicle condition, professional fault detection and remote reading of vehicle condition information.

　　Tencent Lubao Box Beta

　　Lubao Box is the first car networking product launched by Tencent in May this year. Lubao Box is connected to the car by Bluetooth. Plug and play can provide functions such as road condition diagnosis, fuel consumption analysis and so on through the cooperation with mobile APP. Lubao Box is currently in the public beta stage and has not been officially released, so the data and experience of this test are only responsible for the beta version.

　　In a nutshell, Lubao Box provides more life service functions. Navigation, road condition sharing and fuel consumption calculation can provide drivers with a convenient car experience. By connecting with WeChat and QQ account systems, the registration advantages of Lubao products are also very obvious. Because of the Bluetooth connection with the vehicle, Lubao Box has limited ability in remote monitoring of the vehicle.

　　Yuanzheng golo4

　　Golo4 is an OBD terminal product of car networking launched by Yuanzheng Technology. Officials say that this product can be compatible with up to 2,800 models. It can be connected with the products connected to the OBD interface of the car through the mobile phone APP, and has the functions of real-time remote diagnosis, physical examination, vehicle anti-theft alarm reminder, owner’s living community and map positioning service.

　 　 Installation experience

　　IVoka MINI X

　　The installation of iVoka MINI X is very convenient. Plug the device into the OBD interface of the vehicle, download the iVoka MINI X application on the mobile phone and register directly. Registration is divided into three steps: fill in the mobile phone number to obtain SMS verification code and provide information such as vehicle engine and frame number. Finally, the registration can be completed by scanning the QR code provided by the manufacturer and binding the device with the mobile phone.

　　Tencent Lubao Box Beta has the best experience.

　　As a product of Internet company, the installation process of Tencent Lubao Box is the closest to the user’s habits among the three products. Scan the QR code on the box to enter the reservation and download client page. Add vehicle information, plug the device into the OBD interface of the vehicle, and the mobile phone can be used normally after Bluetooth pairing with the device, and can be associated with QQ via WeChat to complete individual user login. The ease of installation and humanized experience are the best of the three devices.

　　The gap between reality and ideal The element golo4 with twists and turns

　　Golo4 packaging box is very simple, and there are no installation tips or instructions except the QR code bound to the mobile phone. We can only try to search in the APP store first, but fortunately we can easily search for the corresponding app. The registration of golo4 is also not complicated. In principle, the operation can be completed in four steps: entering the mobile phone or email, filling in the verification code and vehicle information, and scanning the QR code that comes with the product and binding it to the mobile phone.

　　However, in actual operation, golo4 is in a lot of situations. When we register to scan the QR code in the last step, the QR code that comes with the product always gives an error. In desperation, we can only call the official number 400-xxx-xxxx. In two days, we dialed more than a dozen times before and after, but the phone always showed that we could not get through. Later, we used the experience mode to enter the application to find the frequently asked questions, and found that we could manually enter the serial number and password in the box to activate it, but in fact, the test product we got did not have a password letter. In desperation, we can only try to get in touch with the online customer service through the message function that comes with the application. After many photos and screenshots, the online customer service finally sent us the new password.

　　In the installation process, we all agree that Tencent Lubao Box has done the best in humanization. iVoka MINI X only lost to Lubao Box in the details of APP download, and Yuanzheng golo4 came last because of frequent situations.Even under normal conditions, the 400 phone is always unanswered, which has a very poor user experience. Although online customer service responds positively and the service speed is fast, not all users will take online communication as the first choice to solve problems. After all, many people will choose to call customer service for the first time to solve the problem.
