CONNECT DESCRIPTION

Description

The vehicle is prepared for the installation of a "CONNECT NAV" system: it involves a radio built into the CONNECT device and a navigator with pictograms

The telephone system includes:

• GSM module and SIM CARD reader built into the radio;
• navigator module with pictograms incorporated in the radio;
• hands-free function via the radio speakers;
• microphone located in the front courtesy light;
• GSM/GPS exterior aerial.

The navigation system makes it possible to know the position of the vehicle at any time. In this way the driver can be guided to their desired destination, step by step, through voice messages and visual information. The system also provides additional information for reaching general services, namely: hotels, carparks, restaurants, chemists, service stations, hospitals, authorized workshops, railway stations, airports, etc.

The navigation system uses GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite technology consisting of an aerial that allows the GPS satellite location of the vehicle: the aerial is connected to a receiver located in the integrated unit by means of a special shielded cable. The aerial is fitted at the rear of the roof: it has two functions (GSM/GPS) because it also incorporates the GSM aerial for the CONNECT system

Vehicle position is identified by analysing GPS data together with speedometer and reverse gear signals received from the vehicle.

The navigation CD-ROM drive is located in the radio assembly.

the navigation system only works with the CD-ROM inserted in the special drive; it is therefore possible to listen to a music CD during navigation. In this case, the navigation function requires the map CD to be inserted whilst carrying out the route calculation procedures.

The main radio controls are duplicated on the steering wheel allowing the driver to operate the radio without taking their hands off the steering wheel.

The special controls for the Connect function are on a special control knob located in the centre of the dashboard next to the climate control system controls.

A cooling fan ensures the necessary exchange of air in the area of the radio, preventing it from overheating.

The Connect radio system is, to all intents and purposes, a CAN node and is connected to the body computer, the instrument panel and the multifunction screen where information relating to the radio is displayed.

A special CD cartridge allows up to 6 CDs to be loaded which are then selected through the radio controls. The CD changer is located in the dashboard console

The following is also available, depending on the trim level:

• RADIO with CD player,
