Siemens’ VDO GPS plus TV Reception

VDO Dayton’s new PN 4000 and PN 6000 navigation systems includes digital TV reception as well. These portable navigation devices, will come with a DVB-T receiver as a standard feature - a feature that still is of no use in the U.S. But if you were in a European country that broadcasts digitally you could enjoy your favorite TV channel on a 4.3″ screen with the PN 4000, and a 5.3″ screen with the PN 6000. Both PN 4000 and PN 6000 offer high resolution maps rendered in 2D or 3D, and have a 16:9 aspect ratio display. You can also get live traffic info if you choose to get the optional RDS/TMC traffic receiver.

It has a powerful batteries and an external power supply, the PN 4000 can be operated outside the vehicle, like at camp grounds, the beach or vacation homes. Because the antennas are designed to be highly sensitive and redundant, the system ensures television reception even at speeds of up to 160 km/h allowing the back seat to become a mobile home theater on long road trips.

PN4000 and PN6000 also feature an SD slot through which you can bring your portable media such as videos or music. Also, an optional Bluetooth module is available, which will upgrade the device to a hands-free system for mobile phones.

The devices are very easy to operate: The destination entry function, route selection and address book, as well as the TV functions are controlled using an intuitive, easy-to-understand menu using a touch-sensitive screen.

This receiver, brings the “television of the future” into the vehicle.
