CASKA in-car entertainment system
By Johan Keyter 9 May 2011 | Categories: gizmosAre you tired of your car's boring entertainment system, but don't want to give up some limbs for a new vehicle? Well there's a much more cost effective solution available in the form of CASKA's new range of internationally recognised in-vehicle entertainment systems.
And please don’t confuse the CASKA system with the bass pumping noise machines one sees cruising by from time to time, this is an elegant in-car entertainment solution which offers music and DVD playback, an attractive touch-screen interface plus full GPS capabilities.
The CASKA system is also tied to your existing sound system, so there is no need to worry about losing any decibels in the process. Various CASKA units are available to fit different vehicle’s interior trim, with manufacturers such as Nissan, Ford and Subaru approving of the device and Mitsubishi even outfitting its new Pajero’s with them from the factory floor.
Usage
With CASKA’s comfortable user interface you can easily access the variety of features available on the device, including audio and DVD playback in a variety of formats such as MP3, MP4, MPEG4, CD and WMA. Users can now also take their favourite CDs with them without putting the actual disk in danger by creating virtual disks of your CDs, with up to five disks supported.
The 800 x 480 pixel truelife display also provides a crisp and clear viewing experience, with smooth touch support breathing new life into your in-car experience. Bluetooth connectivity is also available, with quick and easy pairing of multiple devices to the CASKA meaning a safer driving experience for everyone.
Another highly useful feature is the built-in Garmap GPS, pre-loaded with Garmap Southern Africa Streetmaps 2010, which includes data for several southern African countries. The GPS sports features such as points-of-interest, voice guidance and automatic audio interrupt, and displays a large and clear view of your desired route.
The system also features support for up to 24 AM/FM radio stations, RDS, full Apple iPod support, an SD card reader and a USB port, with more optional extras supported.
The installation is a painless process, with clients in the Pretoria or Johannesburg area entitled to on-address fitment. Buyers in other parts of the country can have the CASKA system fitted at local fitment centres, with a 24-month warranty applying to all products.
All CASKA systems are available from Planet Electronics from R10 999 including installation and VAT.
