The AVN4430 Fulfills Demands for Mobile Entertainment,
Navigation and Portability -- All in a Single Integrated Product
FUJITSU TEN LIMITED, manufacturer of leading automotive electronics,
unveiled the ECLIPSE AVN4430 in-vehicle navigation system. This new
product is the latest realization of the company’s AVN concept, which
revolves around the three core points of a perfect fit, comfort +
awareness and integrated technology, in order to promote driving safety
and comfort. Since 2004, ECLIPSE has put the AVN concept and products on
the market and has continuously received high evaluations. The AVN4430
also fills a unique position in the AVN product category as its
navigation section is detachable for use elsewhere. The AVN concept was
validated by the unit’s selection by the Consumer Electronics
Association as an “Innovations 2009 Design and Engineering” honoree.
Meeting consumer demands for sophisticated audio and visual mobile
entertainment in combination with portable navigation, the AVN4430 is a
full-function, permanently mounted source head unit that does not
compromise driver sight-lines or airbag operation, as it is mounted
in-dash for a perfect fit.
Entertainment is full-featured with CD and DVD as well as iPod®
audio and video, with audio and video performance comparable to that of
dedicated component units. The unit plays DVDs, CDs, CD-R/RWs, MP3 and
WMA files. A motorized tilting front panel hides the slot for the discs
while direct access to iPod audio and video is via cable. iPod functions
are seen on the display. The AVN4430 also is equipped with a USB port.
This product is developed jointly with TomTom NV. The TomTom navigation
device has a 4.3” WQVGA display with quick responding touch control for
all functions. It will indicate source unit information when docked. It
functions as a standalone portable navigation device when removed.
Connected to a computer, it can take advantage of the rich content
TomTom offers online such as Mapshare, navigation voices, POI edit and
others. Hands-free calling and voice recognition are also included.
Removing the navigation section deters unauthorized removal.
