ZE-NC2040


E>GO Concept



Navigation, entertainment, communication – the ZE-NC2040 naviceiver is a complex navigation and multimedia system with a large range of features. ZENEC‘s new top-of-the-line model fits together visually with all automobiles belonging to the VW Golf IV line – for example with the VW Golf IV, VW Passat, VW Bora, VW Polo and VW Sharan.

The red button illumination and the customized design of the front panel makes the E>GO not only perfect for the respective look of the car interior, but the E>GO is also effortlessly integrated into the existing automotive electronics. ZE-NC2040 can be installed into the original dash board of the above named automobiles without further modifications and without any additional adapters: simply take out the factory radio, put in the E>GO and drive off.


Multimedia



The ZE-NC2040 is a mobile entertainment center, which offers you entertainment functions in abundance. The E>GO recognizes all modern data media – such as CD, DVD, USB, iPod, iPhone or SD cards. Of course, you can also play your private collection of CD-R/RW, DVD±R/RW discs as well as compressed digital audio formats such as MP3, WMA, or AVI with this ZENEC multimedia station. Prepared and ready even for the latest encoding technology: the ZE-NC2040 also supports, for example, the modern video format DivX, going as far as version DivX6.

The delivery scope of the E>GO unit contains the compact Media link box with a high-speed USB 2.0 port and an A/V input (3.5 mm plug). With this compact box to be stowed away in a convenient place like the centre console or the glove box, you can quickly connect or disconnect additional extra components like a USB stick or an external MP3 player.

With the separately attainable interface cable ZE-NC-IPS you can also link your iPod or iPhone via the Media link box to your E>GO naviceiver.


Display



Top-class are the touchscreen displays of the ZE-NC2040: a high-quality, non-reflective TFT LCD panel with LED backlight, that guarantees a sharp, brilliant and contrast-rich picture. The controlling of the device is absolutely straightforward.

With the sensitive, very responsive touchpanel you can operate all functions at the touch of your fingertips. The menus are – at first glance – easy to comprehend and intuitive to use. The graphical user interface (GUI) has been optimized in consideration of user-friendliness, enhancing daily use and interaction. The dual main menu with large control icons ensures that you can control all functions conveniently while driving.


iPhone and iPod Connection



 

Enjoy your music and movie collection while you are driving, by connecting your iPod or iPhone to the ZE-NC2040. With a separately attainable interface cable (ZE-NC-IPS), you can connect both Apple devices through the high speed USB port and control them via touchscreen. The batteries of both Apple players even get recharged during playback.

 


Bluetooth



Uncomplicated calling and talking while driving: The ZE-NC2040 is equipped with a high quality Bluetooth module from Parrot. And this means excellent speech intelligibility, because of the innovative Audio-DSP signal-processing to filter out background, echo and ambient noise.

 

 

 

The E>GO allows pairing and convenient operation of almost any Bluetooth compatible mobile phone from a ZE-NC2040 – wihtout any additional mounting devices, adapters or even additional loudspeakers.

Parrot guarantees for easiest control throughout the journey: The caller’s number, phonebook entries and further infos appear clearly on the display.

The address book of the ZE-NC2040 is automatically synchronized with the entries in your mobile phone. The Parrot Bluetooth module allows an extremely practical alphanumeric search of contacts. 

Additional features:

 

  • automatic synchronization of the telephone book
  • alphanumeric sequencing and search of entries in your telephone book
  • storage of dialed numbers, missed and received calls
  • voice control dialing
  • coupling of up to 5 mobile phones

  • switch between hands-free and mobile phone to continue a call via mobile

 

 

In case you have music saved on your mobile phone, thanks to A2DP with AVRCP, you can listen and control your song collection via the touchscreen of the E>GO.


Radio Tuner



The high performance NXP FM chipset based FM/AM radio tuner offers you full RDS function coverage and additional comfort features such as 30 radio station presets and Best Station Memory.

In addition you can find praxis-orientated adjustment options:  

  • Alternative Frequency (AF) - automatically switches to the radio frequency with best possible reception
  • Traffic Announcement (TA) - if you wish it interrupts the currently playing source for breaking traffic announcements
  • Splitcreen - keeps the recommendation symbol for the next turn always in view

Navigation System



Accurately navigate via touchscreen: with the E>GO you can arrive quicker and more relaxed at the your destination – throughout all of Western and Eastern Europe. Select the desired target, choose between various options of route calculations, and you’re on the right track: your electronic co-pilot leads you without any detour to your final destination and also shows, if desired, relevant points/P.O.I.s such as gas stations, hotels and restaurants.

A clear graphical map display, where various scales and view modes are available in 2-D and 3-D, makes navigating so much easier. As you concentrate on the traffic, the text-to-speech voice guidance leads you through the streets.
