Clarions website is showing all their new products. Head units have all changed - kinda look cheesy though !! Amps look the same, new subs, marine gear !!

The new in-dash DVD looks pretty cool - full i-Pod Touchscreen operation !!

What do you think ??

Most important new introduction from Clarion is the transportable NICE piece - Navigation In-Car Entertainment:

7" TFT touch screen
20GB Hitachi Hard Drive
USB 2.0
Horizon Navigation Software
10GB free for MP3/WMA/WAV with Player
Sirius Satelite control
A/V Input
Rearview Camera Input
Windows Embedded based for easy upgrades

A whole new market segment really...

Definetly innovative thinking, I think it'll be a good seller, the transportable aspect is a definite plus.
Their buttons seem to have gotten smaller on some HU's.
NICE to see an affiliation with Hitachi.

The partnership with Hitachi is going to feed some serious money into that company - the rest of the industry will be sick of hearing the Clarion name before long...

I played with the NICE sample units in the booth at CES - and the concept and proposed street pice are awesome... Can't wait to get a full product unit to review.
