● Ask AI assistants for information, guidance, or general conversation.

SSHub Companion App

Download SSHub from the App Store or Google Play to:

1.  Create and manage your account.

2.  Configure DriveChat settings, including the wake word.

3.  Sync settings with the head unit.

4.  Manage optional paid features or supported premium AI models.

Note: Some DriveChat features or AI models may require an additional purchase through the SSHub app.

7.2 Setting Up DriveChat (Account & Wake Words)

DriveChat Setup Process

Download SSHub > Sign In > Link the Head Unit > Set Wake Words

Step 1: Download and Sign In to SSHub

1.  Download SSHub from the App Store or Google Play.

2.  Open the app and create an account, or sign in using a supported third-party account.

Step 2: Link the Head Unit

1.  Open DriveChat on the head unit. If it is not installed, download it from FindApps.

2.  A QR code will appear on the screen.

3.  Open SSHub on your phone, tap Add Device (+) > Scan, and scan the QR code.

4.  Enter a device name, then tap Confirm to complete linking.

Step 3: Set Wake Words

2.  Tap + New Wake Word.

3.  Enter your preferred wake word and tap Confirm.

4.  Tap Start and repeat the wake word until a checkmark appears, then tap Confirm.

Notes

● Set separate wake words for voice control and AI conversation.

● DriveChat processes one request at a time. Wait until the current request is complete before speaking again.

● Wake-word recognition works best for the person who recorded it.

● Avoid common words or names that may cause accidental activation.

7.3 Using DriveChat (Voice Control & Chatbot)

DriveChat lets you interact with the head unit more safely, naturally, and efficiently while driving. It combines voice control and AI chatbot conversation for both practical use and entertainment.

1. Personalized Wake Words

● Each user can record their own custom wake words:

○ For voice control commands (e.g., "Hey Mojo").

○ For chatbot interaction (e.g., "Hey Piko").

● Custom wake words improve accuracy and reduce accidental activations.

2. Voice Control of Head Unit Functions

You can control compatible head unit functions using simple voice commands.

Examples:

User: "Hey Mojo, turn on the Radio."

DriveChat (Mojo): "Radio turned on for you."

User: "Hey Mojo, skip to the next track."

DriveChat (Mojo): "Skipping to the next track."

3. Conversational Interaction

Use DriveChat as a companion for fun and engagement.

Example:

User: "Hey Piko, tell me a joke."

DriveChat (Piko): "Sure! Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!"

User: "Thanks, Piko! That was funny. Can you tell me a story about atoms?"

DriveChat (Piko): "Of course! Once upon a time in Atomville..."

4. AI Chatbot for Advice

Use DriveChat as a companion for fun and engagement.

Example:

User: "Hey Mojo, switch to novelist mode."

DriveChat (Mojo): "Switching to novelist mode."

User: "Hey Piko, how can I write a compelling novel introduction?"

DriveChat (Chatbot - Novelist Mode): "Start with an intriguing question, a vivid description, or a dramatic event..."

7.3.1 Activate DriveChat

You can activate DriveChat by using wake words. Different wake words trigger different functions.

Examples:

1.  General Conversation

Say: "Hey Piko, What's the highest mountain in the world?"

DriveChat (Piko) answers: “Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.”

2. Switch to Professional Chatbot Role

Say: “Hey Mojo, switch to novelist mode.”

DriveChat (Piko): “Switching to novelist mode.”

Now continue with: “Hey Piko, how can I write a compelling novel introduction?”

In this context, "Hey Mojo" serves as the control wake word. After DriveChat switches to the novelist role, you should use "Hey Piko" to continue the conversation.

Note:

● “Hey Mojo” (control wake word) → for system control & mode switching.

● “Hey Piko” (dialogue wake word) → for interactive conversations.

● Wake words shown here are examples only. You can customize your own in the DriveChat app on the head unit.

Use cases:

● Quickly silence a specific speaker

● Test individual channels

● Isolate sound for troubleshooting

Linked Left/Right Mute

● Tap the Link button

● Then tap either left or right mute

→ Both L/R speakers mute simultaneously

Phase Inversion (Left/Right Phase Button)

Reverses the sound wave phase of the selected speaker.

Purpose: To correct phase cancellation, which can occur when speaker positions cause left and right channels to cancel each other, reducing bass and clarity.

Activating phase inversion may help restore low-frequency impact.

10.3.2 Delay Adjustment (Time Alignment)

This feature ensures sound from all speakers reaches the listener’s ears at the same time, creating a centered and accurate sound stage—like sitting at the sweet spot in a studio.

Operation Steps

Step 01: Set Listening Position

Choose a primary location (typically the driver). For general balance, choose the cabin center.

Step 02: Measure Distance

Measure the straight-line distance from the listening position to each speaker:

Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left, Rear Right.Step 3: Open Delay Adjustment

Navigation Path: Equalizer (EQ) App > Surround > Delayed

Step 04: Apply Delay

Drag the slider to increase or decrease delay. (Max adjustment: 680 cm distance, 20 ms delay.)

Two modes are provided:

1.  High/Low-Pass Filtering (default tab)

2.  Bass Enhancement (second tab)

10.4.1 High-Pass & Low-Pass Filtering

These filters allow the user to define the frequency range delivered to each speaker.

Benefits

● Improved clarity and cleaner separation

● Prevents frequency overlap and energy loss

● Protects speakers from receiving frequencies they cannot handle

● Enables custom tuning to match your vehicle’s acoustics

High-Pass Filter (HPF):

● Allows frequencies above the cutoff to pass.

● Found on the left panel (“High pass filtering”)

● Adjust using the left/right arrow buttons

● Choose slope: 6 / 12 / 18 / 24 / 36 / 48 dB per octave

● Toggle switch enables/disables HPF

Example:

If HPF = 20 Hz → frequencies below 20 Hz are reduced or blocked. This protects smaller speakers from deep bass frequencies.

Low-Pass Filter (LPF): Allows frequencies below the cutoff to pass.

● Found on the right panel (“Low pass filtering”)

● Adjust with left/right arrows

● Slope options same as HPF

● Toggle switch enables/disables LPF

Example:

If LPF = 20 kHz → frequencies above 20 kHz are reduced. This is essential for subwoofers, which only reproduce low frequencies.

10.4.2 Bass Enhancement (Second Tab)

In the Bass Enhancement tab, users can adjust:

● Center Frequency – which bass band is emphasized

● Bass Gain – level of boost applied

Especially useful for vehicles without a dedicated subwoofer, significantly improving low-frequency performance.

● Default Volume: This option sets the startup media volume after the device is rebooted.

System Default Volume Logic

1.  If Default Volume is set to 20, and you change Media Volume to any other number, after power-off and reboot, Media Volume will return to 20.

2.  If the Default Volume setting matches the current Media Volume, then after reboot, both values remain the same.

3.  For example:

a.  Default Volume = 40

b.  Media Volume manually set to 40

c.  After reboot → Media Volume stays at 40

This prevents unexpected loud volumes on startup and ensures a consistent audio experience.
