Car audio video system

I had this model fitted the other day to replace my separate Radio, Hands Free and SatNav and I also got a DVD thrown in which even connects to a rear view camera too... In use however one major flaw came up which really needs to be resolved quickly, hopefully by a downloadable upgrade... THE FLAW; If someone calls you or you call out whilst using the SatNav the entire screen is taken over by the Phone-Screen which shows the Caller ID and a giant 'Hang-Up Button'... Useful perhaps if you keep forgetting who you're talking to by the end of each sentence. However even the 'Navi' Button on the facia panel cannot bring back the SatNav Screen during the call???... I found this astonishing as the SatNav is far more important than seeing the name of the person you are speaking to all throughout the call???... But at least you know who they are rather than where your supposed to be going!!!... But Seriously; Why anyone NEEDS the Callers Name and a great big Hang-Up Button taking up their screen throughout the entire call when there's a perfectly good Hang-Up Button on the Facia panel itself is beyond me, especially when you're driving through somewhere like Central London or Birmingham and not knowing the route you're supposed to be taking and you're desperate for directional guidance, and the SatNav cannot be re-engaged even with Buttons provided without hanging up on your caller???... MEGA-FAIL!!!... Also it has another slightly annoying quirk; For some inexplicable reason it sometimes gets the Caller ID wrong... E.g. I received a call from my Brother, then shortly after I received another call from my Brother, who upon my answering was actually Someone Else and NOT my Brother???... So occassionally it likes to give you the PREVIOUS Caller's ID instead of the CURRENT Caller's ID???... I guess just to keep you on your toes by tricking you into answering calls to people you didn't want to speak to???... It is a real nice product but it does have a few niggles that I hope can be easily sorted out if Philips take note of comments like these!!!...

The unit is a well made, sleek designed little box with easy to use buttons on the fascia and easy to operate touchscreen when it's extended. The sound quality when connected using the individual speaker outputs is very clear with negligible distortion even at higher volumes. The amount of media you can use is very good too, being able to choose between DVDs, MP3 CDs, USB, SD cards, Bluetooth and radio leaves little left out with regards to choice of entertainment sources, you can even connect an auxiliary source such as a games console if that's not enough for you! The bundled Sat-Nav software if you choose the add-on is fairly comprehensive with easy to use functions and the ability to save favourite locations, the only downside I found with the system is the lack of a post-code search function, small gripe aside its a very accomplished little box of tricks and if you can ignore the small inconvenience of the post-code search it's well worth a look.

Simply put "does what it says on the tin"! Everything works as it should. The remote has a lot of buttons as well.

The features on this unit has enabled me to do away with a separate hands-free phone, Sat Nav and dedicated iPhone charging units. It's just a shame the Sat Nav program do not allow searches by Post Codes. Other than that, it's a great package.

Excellent produit a prix très raisonnable . Fini les contravention avec le téléphone au volant grâce au kit main libre de bonne qualité. Un Son puissant et net. La Navigation et TOP seul petit bémol ,les mise a jours pas facile a trouver. Menu facile En résumé ,je le recommande !

I have broblems with initial settings, how can i fix it?

Primarily wanted a built in sat nav in a car which wasn't originally designed for it so this unit seemed to do all that I wanted at a reasonable cost. The audio features I have no problems with but the sat nav function is basic compared to the built in systems which are fitted in many cars. There is a delay in recognising changes to speed limits and the voice instructions are sometimes unpredictable or odd (eg. it tells me to change direction in 1000 feet). It doesn't help that the user manual provided fails to cover sat nav functions in detail. It is not obvious that there is a post code search facility if you enter this in the city/town field, leaving a space. If I have the unit switched on before starting the engine, when it is started, the unit goes off for a couple of seconds and then reboots itself. This is quite annoying when I have set up a route in sat nav and it then gets reset. I have not been able to find any technical support helpline so I don't know if this is normal or not.

All in all is very good but there are a couple of things that frustrate me. Firstly, the iGO software but is very slow at starting up then to go between the other functions is very slow too. Once running all is fine. The SD reader also is very slow. When set to shuffle it does not maintain this. When the radio is turned off then back on the shuffle has to be put on again. The reader does not display the track name only the time whereas the screen does display the name. The radio is the opposite whereas the screen displays the frequency and the reader displays the station name.

El equipo es muy bueno en totalidad lastima no trae el kit completo tendrian que incluir la camara de retroceso y la antena para el gps
