Whether you are a single DIN stickler or double DIN devotee, the latest in-car multimedia stations from Clarion have every customer well and truly covered, with a duo of high-end units bursting with features and visually designed to integrate seamlessly into any dashboard aperture.

With an emphasis on connectivity and compatibility, the Clarion VX401E (2 DIN, that is, twice the height of single DIN units) and VZ401E (Single DIN) claim to deliver a fluid integration between mobile and in-car entertainment, with both units boasting full audio functionality of iPod, iPhone and other supported devices, via a rear facing USB port. This is backed up with a Bluetooth interface, allowing wireless audio streaming (A2DP & AVRCP) via mobile phone, whilst also providing safe, hands-free access to a range of features on any supported phone.

Both Clarion units are Official DivX® Certified products and support the DivX 6 format of the latest DVD-video, DVD-R and DVD-RW movie files, whilst video playback via iPod/iPhone is also made possible with the optional addition of a supporting cable (CCA748).

The display of, and access to, all functions on the fixed panel 2-DIN 6.2" WGA colour Digital LCD touch screen (VX401E) is replicated on the 1-DIN 7" equivalent (VZ401E), whose motorised flip-out screen is tilt adjustable, with both models featuring hard key controls for source and volume, adjustable brightness/contrast, and blue button illumination. Better still, both units offer connectivity for one or more additional screens for passengers via a Rear Monitor RCA video output, and there is also the option to install and connect a dedicated rear vision camera via an RCA video input.

Both the VX401E and VZ401E are well equipped to deliver state-of-the-art home-cinema style audio reproduction in the car, with high-quality 24-bit D/A (Digital to Analogue) converters, built-in Low Pass Filter and dedicated subwoofer control. Both are designed to provide a single box solution, with 4 x 40W built-in amplifier, but with the potential to build a larger multimedia system around it.

The Clarion VX401E and VZ401E are both priced at RRP £449.00, and are available from Clarion appointed specialists across the UK.  For more details call Clarion (GB) Ltd., on 01793 870400, or visit www.clarion.co.uk.
