an external audio and visual source device for viewing while parked.(1)
-- Easily Adjustable Tilt & Swivel for Every Journey: The newly designed
tilt and swivel mechanism let the driver manually adjust the oversized
display's viewing angles. Its screwless structure offers a range of ±15
degrees, both horizontally and vertically, with no tools required. This
not only allows for altering the angle to the preferred seating

or even for sharing the navigation screen with your passengers.
Additional Features:

go right after turning on the ignition.
-- Wireless Smartphone Connection: Wi-Fi(2) connection from the user's

compatibility.

connectivity, by utilizing the supplied trigger wires, drivers can see
the images of up to three connected cameras with each camera image
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.
-- iDatalink® Maestro® Compatible: iDatalink® Maestro® connects the
vehicle's onboard computer with car audio, making it work as a
customized display for the car's factory-equipped functions and
features.(5 )

connection interface ensures safe and easy plug in, while it can carry
5V 3.0A maximum current for updated smartphone connectivity.(6)

alignment down to a remarkable 1cm for each of the 5 addressable
channels (4 speakers + subwoofer via pre-out). A 14-band EQ enables
adjustment on the overall sound to customers' music or taste.
-- LDAC for Exceptional Sound Quality: Connect compatible devices to stream
audio at 96 kHz / 24-bit sampling with bitrates up to 3x higher (990
kbps) than conventional Bluetooth®.

signal, meanwhile Sony's head unit with high voltage pre-out gives
5-volt signal, which realizes clearer sound with less distortion when
the head unit is used connecting to power amplifier.

depth and sampling frequency at 384 kHz.(7 )

color choices or user's favorite JPEG image saved in a USB device.

harnesses when installed in double-DIN vehicles.
