New multi­media system

Player shows the way

Tune into this! It’s the latest Clarion multi­media system.

Multi­media system
System lets you listen to music and view pictures, then plots your route

25th November 2007

Not only does it have a radio, plus a CD, DVD and MP3 player, it also includes sat-nav. The double-DIN-sized MAX 973HD features a huge 30GB hard disk with room for up to 4,000 digital tracks, which can be downloaded at a useful eight times the playing speed. No multimedia player is complete without iPod connectivity, and the Clarion offers a flying lead for Apple’s top-selling gadget, plus the ability to play tunes and show both video and photos on the widescreen monitor.

Bluetooth connectivity allows you to stream music from your mobile, as well as make hands-free calls, control­led via the stylish touchscreen.
But most drivers will use the display for viewing directions from the sat-nav. It’s a split-screen unit with large, easy-to-read graphics. Clarion claims the system gives super-quick route calculation on maps from 30 European countries, and the text-to-speech function includes street names in six languages. There’s also a seven-digit postcode search and up-to-date traffic data via an RDS TMC tuner.

If all that wasn’t enough for you, the MAX 937HD looks great, too – especially as you can tailor the display to suit your car’s interior, using screensavers designed by Giugiaro.
