Blaupunkt

Once again, ‘Made in Germany’, means quality. Blaupunkt’s navigation systems are fitted into S-Class Mercedes, top-of the- range Volkswagens and Audis, and Blaupunkt claims to be the original brand of in-car navigation technology. The DX-V can also be retro-fitted to any car by qualified installers.

The TravelPilot DX-V’s features shine bright. A removable widescreen monitor acts as a split screen, making it possible to simultaneously display arrow symbols and a map view. The large 6.5 inch colour LCD allows for direct changes to settings such as contrast, angle or brightness.

A recently-developed, easy-to-clean protective film makes the screen particularly resistant to reflection, and it is also easy to detach from its mount — which means you can take it with you, and deter those nasty car thieves. It displays simultaneous arrow/map and map alignments (north, automatic, zoom on junction) and combines exact spoken recommendations with visual directional information. Included is a brushless CD drive mechanism which is claimed to last for 10-15 years.

Blaupunkt’s Jason Javaherian says “It comes complete with multiple CPU (Central Processing Unit) modules. Most other systems have only the one; ours have three which run simultaneously, so if one crashes, the other two continue working. The system uses not only GPS to navigate but also a vehicle speed sensor and a  gyroscope.

“You’ll fi nd other brands, especially the portable ones, will only rely on a GPS signal. So when portable systems go into a tunnel or you are surrounded by tall buildings, you lose your signal. Ours never loses the signal because it predominantly uses GPS via the satellites, but also uses a vehicle speed wire. It does not lose accuracy. It also uses the gyroscope, which gives the system a three dimensional image of the terrain.”

The TravelPilot DX-V can be fi tted straight into Ford BA and Territory models with minimal  customisation.

I want to explain a little about where we want to go with this site. Our objective with this site is to give as much comprehensive information we can on all things car accessories with a major focus on car satellite navigation reviews from Blaupunkt range.  We are aiming to make the site evolve into a complete comprehensive site covering all brands eventually with a domain name change, however this is where we are going to start from to begin with.

In order for this to happen we have received some help from a few companies who are allowing us to focus on this more and help getting everything launched. I would like to mention them here:
