ZENHAX main home screen with clock, weather, map shortcut, music and vehicle-information cards

The home screen is where a head unit becomes part of your daily routine. Check the time, open a map, resume music or reach a vehicle function: those actions should have a clear place to start.

ZENHAX develops its main interface and vehicle-control app in-house. The experience combines a friendly home screen, organised app access, useful vehicle information and guided setup for compatible original-car functions. Here is a tour using our actual interface screenshots.

A clear home screen, with useful information at a glance

The main screen groups the clock and weather above cards for navigation, music and available vehicle information. The layout keeps common tasks visible without making every action begin in the full app list.

Light and dark card styles give the interface different looks, while wallpapers help personalise the screen. The examples below show the same familiar structure across two visual styles.

Put your everyday shortcuts within easy reach

Desktop settings organise the interface into understandable sections, including the map app, left- or right-hand-drive layout, wallpaper cards and navigation bar. Supported card and shortcut choices let you give priority to the functions you actually use.

The navigation-bar settings show app shortcuts and vehicle-related controls in separate groups. This makes it easier to build a useful everyday layout without treating the home screen as a fixed collection of icons.

Navigation and apps, with a consistent route back home

The map layout can place navigation beside a vehicle panel and media controls, with the bottom shortcut bar still available. The app grid provides access to the wider collection of installed tools, including navigation, phone, music and system applications.

Native Android apps run on the head unit itself. CarPlay and Android Auto provide separate phone-connected environments. Choose the method that suits your routine, and confirm the connection options on your particular unit. Third-party apps may require their own account, permissions or internet connection.

Music playback and sound adjustment in dedicated screens

The music player presents artwork, track information, a progress bar and playback controls in a focused layout. A home-screen music card provides another convenient way to reach supported playback functions.

Sound settings give audio adjustment its own clearly structured space. The example below shows equaliser sliders alongside categories for sound-field settings, bass enhancement and filtering. The controls available on a finished system depend on the software build and audio configuration.

Start with a familiar track and make small adjustments after the speakers and any factory amplifier are correctly configured. Local music, Bluetooth audio and phone-connected playback are separate sources, so choose and test the sources you plan to use.

Guided vehicle selection, without hunting through protocol-box settings

Our self-developed vehicle-control app turns setup into a guided sequence. Customers can choose their vehicle in the app without going into the head unit's system settings to find protocol-box options.

  1. Choose your language. Start with the language offered by the setup screen.
  2. Select your vehicle. Follow the brand, model, year-range and trim choices that match your car.
  3. Confirm original-car equipment. Use the function switches to identify the supported equipment fitted to your vehicle.
  4. Confirm climate equipment. Review the available HVAC options, then finish the guided configuration.

This is a guided selection process: it keeps the choices in a logical order and makes their purpose easier to understand. Select the correct vehicle details rather than assuming a similar model uses the same configuration.

Original-car controls and vehicle information, organised together

The app combines a broad set of supported information and controls in a clear structure. Its vehicle dashboard groups climate control, vehicle information, vehicle settings and OEM amplifier access, helping customers find related functions in the same environment.

Equipment settings use straightforward switches. Climate setup can include rear air conditioning, seat ventilation, seat heating, steering-wheel heating and a heated windshield when the vehicle and integration support them. Once configured, the relevant app pages provide access to the supported everyday controls.

These options match the car's existing equipment. The available information and functions depend on the vehicle, compatible hardware and selected protocol; enabling an option does not add physical equipment to the car.

Quick technical support, with useful system details close by

ZENHAX's technical team responds quickly to help customers with vehicle matching, setup and troubleshooting. The app's information page places software-version details, an update-check option and contact access together, giving support a useful starting point.

When requesting help, send your vehicle make, model, year and trim, the app or system version, and a screenshot or short video of the issue. These details help the team understand your exact configuration.
