ClarionMiND:

A Mobile Internet Navigation Device



After the introduction of the PC, the notebook was the first to follow, then the netbook,and finally the newest generation of devices MiD: Mobile Internet Device. Based on years of experience with navigation and professional vehicle integration, the infotainment specialist Clarion has developed this concept further and added a new key function: navigation. With this, a completely new device category was born: the Mobile Internet Navigation Device.

Access to the Internet is possible at home, in the office, or at hotspot locations using WiFi or in combination with a mobile phone via Bluetooth ®. As a result, the user has unlimited real-time access to cutting-edge information all the time everywhere.


A further expression of the know-how responsible for Clarion’s worldwide reputation is the optional docking station. It enriches the vehicle’s audio system with many attractive features and, in doing so, goes far beyond what conventional GPS navigation devices can accomplish. With the docking station, the user can hear the voice guidance of the navigation function as well as his favourite songs through the board speakers. More, the ClarionMiND is equipped with a user interface that automatically blocks pre-selected functions during the drive. Simultaneously, up-to-date traffic information is available to him via the integrated RDS-TMC function (Radio Data System – Traffic Message Channel).
