Windshield suction cup car phone mounts should be installed at the lower-middle position of the windshield, taking care not to obstruct the driver's view. Air vent car phone mounts are simple to install, usually just inserted into the air vent grille. Non-slip pad car phone mounts can be placed on the flat area of the dashboard, preferably near the base of the windshield. Additional information about car phone mounts: 1. Purpose: Primarily used by drivers to make phone calls safer while driving, and to free passengers' hands when using mobile devices. 2. Product description: Most current car mounts feature interchangeable holders, allowing easy switching between tablets, phones, MP4 players, or PDAs. They typically use extra-strong suction cups for secure windshield attachment, and can also be installed on car air vents or dashboards.

I often use my phone for navigation while driving, and the best spot is definitely the air vent. It holds the phone securely without blocking the view, making it easy to glance at the map or navigation. The height is just right at eye level, and even on bumpy roads, the phone stays in place. The air vent also helps cool the phone, preventing overheating—especially useful in summer to avoid damaging the device. Plus, it’s convenient to plug in the charging cable near the cigarette lighter socket. Just make sure to choose a clamp-style holder that doesn’t loosen easily. The vent position allows flexible angle adjustments, and you can easily reach the volume controls or skip tracks with a quick stretch. Placing it in the middle of the windshield is too high and distracting, which isn’t safe. After trying a few spots, the air vent is the most hassle-free and practical. Personally, I find it the most reliable option for balancing convenience and safety in most everyday driving scenarios.

How to Replace the ETC Device After Changing Cars?

Method for replacing the ETC device after changing cars: Before handing over the old car to the next owner, remove and store the ETC electronic tag originally installed on your car. After purchasing the new car and completing the necessary procedures, take the ETC electronic tag to update the information and reactivate it, so it can continue to be used on the new car. The ETC device is an in-vehicle electronic tag installed on the front windshield. When the vehicle passes through a toll station, the antenna in the ETC lane will detect the electronic tag, enabling information exchange for toll deduction. To help car owners conveniently and quickly install the ETC device, in addition to highway service areas, qualified highway toll station entrance/exit plazas, and banks, online platforms such as WeChat and Alipay have also begun offering ETC installation services.

Can I still enjoy the three-year warranty if I don't get maintenance at a 4S shop?

You can still enjoy the three-year warranty even if you don't get maintenance at a 4S shop. Since the promulgation of the "Regulations on the Maintenance of Motor Vehicles" in 2017, car owners have been free to choose maintenance locations for their vehicles, and manufacturers and 4S shops cannot refuse repairs on the grounds that the car was not serviced at an authorized location. Therefore, even if maintenance is not performed at a 4S shop, you can still enjoy the three-year warranty. During the car warranty period, as long as the vehicle is used normally under specified conditions, any faults or part damages that occur during the process can enjoy free repair or replacement services. Generally, different parts and components have different warranty periods. For example, components that wear out quickly, such as batteries, air filters, cabin air filters, and timing belts, have shorter warranty periods. Cases where the normal three-year warranty does not apply include: damage caused by improper use, maintenance, or storage by the consumer; damage caused by disassembly by non-warranty repairers; lack of warranty certificate and valid invoice; mismatch or alteration of the warranty certificate model with the repaired product; and damage caused by force majeure.

What is a car HUD (Head-Up Display)?

Head-Up Display, abbreviated as HUD, is also known as a Parallel Display System. It refers to a driver-centric, blind-operation, multi-functional dashboard. Its function is to project important driving information such as speed and navigation onto the windshield in front of the driver, allowing the driver to view crucial driving details like speed and navigation without having to look down or turn their head. The driver-centric design aims to make it more convenient for the driver to view the car's screen and operate knobs while driving. Blind operation ensures the driver can keep their eyes on the road ahead as much as possible. The multi-functional dashboard displays navigation information to minimize distractions while checking directions. The distinction between suspended HUDs and dashboard-mounted HUDs is primarily based on their mounting method. Suspended HUDs are fixed to the sun visor above the driver, which results in the HUD information being projected onto the upper area of the windshield. In contrast, dashboard-mounted HUDs are fixed on the center console in front of the driver, projecting the information onto the front area of the windshield. Both types of HUD products have their pros and cons: Advantages of suspended HUDs include higher product adaptability and relatively simple installation. The downsides are that they occupy the sun visor's functionality, may be less stable when mounted on the visor (leading to unstable projection), and project information onto the upper part of the windshield, making it difficult for the driver to view it at eye level. Dashboard-mounted HUDs offer more stable mounting, allowing for eye-level viewing. However, they also have clear disadvantages, such as noticeable heat generation from the DLP optical engine. Heat dissipation becomes a challenge, especially in summer, and solving this issue can incur additional costs. Additionally, due to significant differences in center console shapes across car models, dashboard-mounted HUDs have lower adaptability compared to suspended HUDs.
