Everything in view

Now updated with a 10.1″ high-definition LCD panel and optically gapless design, it boasts the best-in-class picture quality, while assuring safer and easier operation than ever.

Gapless Anti-glare Capacitive Touchscreen

Unlike a conventional display, the LCD is bonded directly to the protective glass touch layer with a transparent adhesive. The result is an extremely precise touch experience along with the enhanced contrast and visual performance.

Easy mounting and adjustment

The sturdy and adjustable mount is designed for single DIN installation, to suit a wide variety of vehicles.3 The four-way adjustment makes it easy to position the oversized display in your perfect spot.

The Way Artists Truly Intended

Enjoy the subtle nuances of studio-quality sound with High-Resolution Audio. Passion for music unites every component from signal to speaker, so it feels like the artist is performing right in front of you.

Choices for optimum performance

Carefully selected components ensures superb quality sound. The dedicated choke coil features powerful bass while filtering unwanted frequencies, for controlled and dynamic audio reproduction. Audiophile-grade capacitors deliver effortless power for clearness and tight bass, while multi-layer polymer capacitors help ensure low overall harmonic distortion and natural sound character.

Engineered for ultimate listening pleasure – ESS digital-to-analogue converter

Experience the same calibre of sound usually reserved for high-end home audio products, thanks to the ESS DAC chip – a premium converter that provides optimum quality, from all your digital music files. With high performance 32-bit processing and eliminated timing jitter, this D/A converter delivers an unprecedented dynamic range and low harmonic distortion.

Anti-resonance dual-layer chassis

The dual-layer design of the chassis separates analogue and digital circuitry, preventing electro-magnetic interference for uncompromised sound quality.

Android Auto™

Use commands to dictate messages, take phone calls or get help from Google Maps. You can even control music playback just by talking.4 Wireless connection available depending on your smartphone, and country or region.

Sound Customisation

The high grade 192 kHz / 24 bit DSP offers pristine sound processing and time alignment – down to a remarkable 1 cm for each of the 6 addressable channels (4 speakers + 2 subwoofers via pre-out). A 14-band EQ lets you adjust the overall sound to your music or taste, and each of the 6 channels features independent 8-band parametric EQ to get optimum performance across different speaker configurations. Together with the 3-zone crossover, you can dial in the perfect match of front, rear and subwoofers.

Full smartphone connectivity without the wires

Thanks to built-in Wi-Fi and the supplied GPS antenna, you can leave your smartphone in your pocket and still access full device integration. Access navigation, communication and entertainment, all via voice control without any cable clutter.

Apple CarPlay

Easily access the iPhone features you know and love, just by talking to Siri. Music, maps, phone calls and messages are all under your control.5 Wireless connection available depending on your county or region.6

High-Resolution wireless LDAC audio

Enjoy the convenience of Bluetooth wireless audio, and exceptional sound quality thanks to LDAC. Connect compatible devices to stream audio at 96 kHz / 24-bit sampling with bitrates up to 3x higher (990 kbps) than conventional Bluetooth.

HD Graphical User Interface

The 1280 x 720 HD touchscreen offers an enhanced user interface for safety and ease of use. It features a high-contrast “Mobile ES” colour scheme, as well as customisable wallpaper to suit your vehicle and style.

3-camera trigger inputs

Customers can see the images of up to three connected cameras when they shift the vehicle’s transmission lever to the reverse position or tap the dedicated icons on the home screen. By utilizing the supplied trigger wires, each camera image can be switched on and off, or from one to another automatically by detecting the vehicle’s turn signals or sensing compatible signals such as that for a connected front camera.7 An adjustable parking guide is also available for the reverse gear.
