Navigate stress-free with advanced search functions, clear graphics, and ultra high-speed processing that provides a quick response that you can only expect from an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) based car navigation system. Any destination, wherever it may be in Europe, is calculated in less than a few seconds! Needless to say, once navigation along a given route has started, calculating changes or diversions is even quicker.

The system will never let you wait when you have to choose between two – or more – new possible routes while driving. And since it’s a hide-away unit that’s only 29 mm thick, you can mount it under a seat or wherever it will fit in the car and connect it to your AV system display.

Music Catcher: High speed recording
and huge size storage capacity

Music Catcher is a function which enables listeners to store favourite tunes and albums on the built-in hard disk. You can enjoy long music plays from the hard disk by making your own “favourite collection” of music. Ripping speed: Maximum 8times recording Storage capacity: Maximum 4,000 songs Ripping format: High quality Atrac3 / 132Kbs


PC application “Clarion NAVI Manager”

The Music Catcher of MAX973HD is able to update the CD title information for each song automatically after ripping the song on the hard disk. In case the database doesn’t have your title information available, the NAVI manager software can synchronise the data with the Gracenote website on the Internet and update the title information on your hard disk. Moreover, the software can also show your favourite picture or the album cover on the screen.

DVD Video-ready

A high resolution monitor is employed, which can reproduce high quality video images from such sources as DVD videos. The system has been upgraded to 2- Zone functionality to offer different entertainment sources in the front and rear seats. For instance, the driver can enjoy music while receiving navigation guidance on the dash-mounted unit, while rear passengers can enjoy DVD videos on separate monitors.


Ready for rear view camera

Install a CCD camera on the back of the car and see what’s behind the vehicle when you put the car in reverse. The CCD camera can be connected to the MAX973HD with the CAA188 adapter for a clear view of obstacles and exact distance to other cars behind your car right on the screen on the dash. It’s great for safety parking in tight spots.
