Product details

Enjoy practical wireless Bluetooth audio streaming and outstanding sound quality with LDAC. Connect a compatible device to enjoy audio with 96 kHz/24-bit sampling and a bitrate up to three times higher (990 Kbit/s) than conventional Bluetooth. The simple button controls with an intuitive design allow for safe and easy operation while driving.

Access volume, source, sound settings, and voice control. The device is compatible with a rearview camera. If you have a rearview camera installed, you can see images and customizable alerts on the screen, allowing you to reverse safely.

The enhanced user interface offers customizable backgrounds. Tailor the new ergonomic interface to match your car's interior or your preferences. There are four predefined looks and two manual settings for backgrounds available.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the compact rear housing. Despite the 2-DIN display, the rear housing is much smaller than conventional 2-DIN units, allowing for much easier installation and leaving plenty of space for cables and other accessories behind the display.

With the Quick Wake-Up function, you are ready to go immediately after turning on the ignition.
