Zed-Bull clone users, look here!

- antena is so lame btw.
- its same as big toy imho
greets

Wicked, no i love you or power supply.

That lump of dawg jisum - the antenna?

Still like to know how to unlock fiat keys - for - fetish reasons
how many times can you use them?

[oep]

no give me love power, only a black coax with 4 wires inside
give me no power love i asked that how way
me thinks its not their problem i fix manually dc plug change form other sucky sucky 5 $ toy
ahh the antenaa.. give me no love put only wire around red hole.. funny hole.. looks familiar..

Thanks, meant to upp date, this, thanks for that

I got a US power adapter with mine buts its 110-240V so just taped it onto an electric razor adapter.

Just ordered one myself from greebid. Just going to tear it down for shits and giggles.

Gonna stick the coil on my LC meter and see if i can tweak it for a bit more performance.

See the cloners have done away with the Atmega64 and look like they just use a 128/256 to run the whole show.

Sorry, can you explain for for thick folks

An lc meter is for measuring the value of inductors and capacitors.

He hopes to measure the values of the coil and capacitor and rewind the antenna coil for better sensitivity.

http://www.learn-about-electronics.c...-circuits.html

Basically adding or subtracting turns to the coil to get the right resonant frequency just like turning the pegs on a guitar to get the right note.

He also notes that the Chinese have redesigned the circuit to use a single microcontroller nice bit of work by the looks of it too.

I don't know how much Mileage you can get out of fine tuning the coil as introducing a keyblade remote battery etc will change the inductance of the coil anyway. There are coil guidelines for other readers over on carhelp forum.

hi guys , this was posted on page 14 of this tread .

hi sporty , the antenna i think should be like

Antenna Inductance = ~440 ***956;H
Coil = 66 turns,
Wire = enameled copper wire

Wire diameter = 0.18 mm diameter

the chip TMS3705A match antenna , its a common chip used on most cars like toyota, nissan , subaru etc .

someone use a coil from an opel transponder amp .

[MrSporty]

Turns out they didn't do away with a slave MCU.

The picture on the previous page shows the Smart Zeds motherboard. The small 8 pin chip on the bottom left is infact an STC15F104 Microcontroller. I guess the cloners just reimplemented the Atmega64 functions in this smaller (cheaper?) chip.

I'm considering buying this Mini Me Zed...what is the veredict? Mini Me x Big Zed?

[MrSporty]

Pro's:

Small size so although it looks like a toy, you don't look like a massive tool trying to act professional with a big red bull shaped box :P

No Login Card or Tokens needed.

Erm .. thats about it.

Cons:

Piss poor reader coil. You really have to mess about with keys/transponders positions in the hole to get them reading efficiently.

Buttons can be fiddly if you have massive sausage fingers.

The LED on mine could be used as a helicopter landing light, i get retina burn trying to use it


Basically it does everything the standard cloned ZB does. Well , the ones that are fixed at firmware revision 5.02 anyway. So basically, no 4D or 46 copying and no OBD (which you'd need cables for anyway and they don't exist as cloned kit either)

I found my mini Zed has ID45 cloning failure too but heard that this happens to both of the clones?

Thanks! What about the coil in the bigger Zed? Any better?

[MrSporty]

I don't currently own a full sized ZB so i couldn't give you an honest comparison. From what i hear tho they can all be a bit picky until you find the sweet spot.

Personally i prefer how the Bianchi 883 (ipresume 884) is wound. Instead of the single coil/relay switched ZB design It has 2 coils, each one individually tuned for 125khz and 134khz.

P.S If anyone has a faulty or expired ZB they are willing to part with i would be happy to come to some arrangement

hallo to all
i had contact original zedbull site just to ask how buy it and if i can have a price list, i told i'm a locksmith from italy
i contacted them friday
never replied me....
someone had similar experiences?
