Directus and NAV-TV announce a strategic partnership for OEM vehicle integration solutions by launching the first ever Uconnect Touch 4.3 and 8.4 aftermarket navigation and back-up camera solution
As automotive OEM entertainment systems continue to develop and evolve at a blistering pace, DIRECTUS and NAV-TV continue to set the standard for OEM aftermarket navigation and video solutions...
LINDEN, MI, August 17, 2011 /Automotive PR News/ -- The new Uconnect Touch 4.3 / 8.4 systems are available in the 2011 / 2012 Dodge Charger, Dodge Journey, FIAT Freemont and the Chrysler 300. The Uconnect Touch radio consists of a 4.3" color LCD touch screen (or optional 8.4" large screen) in the center of the dash, a remotely mounted CD player, a USB port for iPod control or MP3 and WMA audio playback from a USB memory device, Bluetooth, voice recognition and optional XM/Sirius satellite radio. All radio features, vehicle convenience settings and the heating and air conditioning system can be controlled directly from the touch screen. However, neither a backup camera nor a navigation solution are available on the 4.3 and are available only as an upgraded option on the 8.4. Fortunately, these limitations and unavailable options are now available as an aftermarket solution from NAV-TV & DIRECTUS.
"We are excited to join forces with a company like DIRECTUS and are very pleased with our first joint project. The new Uconnect Touch system is not a traditional radio, which makes replacing the factory system virtually impossible. Besides not having an available rear view camera or navigation option, people like the Uconnect Touch system. Since its launch in 2011 it has been very successful. The new navigation and back-up camera input module by NAV-TV / DIRECTUS allows for existing Uconnect Touch owners to now add a back-up camera and navigation to their vehicle if it was not equipped from the factory." stated Moni Melman, CEO of NAV-TV.
The all-new interface provides a true OEM look and feel by adding navigation (Prodigy One) & a backup camera to reduce blind zones when moving in reverse. It allows for complete navigation and rear view camera video to be displayed on the factory LCD screen and retains all of the current Dodge, Chrysler and FIAT factory functions. The new system co-developed with DIRECTUS represents an important step in the evolution of both companies' product offerings and a key strategic alliance for new product development.
"Our companies really seem to complement each other and the Uconnect Touch project is the first of many more strategic projects we have identified for 2011 and beyond" said Brad Chapple, DIRECTUS, CEO. "This product release represents a new development for the aftermarket vehicle integration industry and is a huge step forward in incorporating ease of use, functionality and safety while maintaining the full use of the factory and aftermarket systems simultaneously, commented Chapple.
The new Uconnect Touch aftermarket system will be featured at MERA Knowledgefest, August 28th - 30th, 2011 in Dallas, TX, in the NAV-TV and DIRECTUS - Booth 501 and Booth 311 http://www.knowledgefest.org and shipping the end of August.
