DESCRIPTION
The RADIONAV radio navigation system incorporates the radio and CD Audio and CD MP3 player
The navigation system is equipped with:
- SD card reader
- GPS module
- independent navigation module with maps
- 6.5" TFT colour monitor
- interface with the controls on the steering wheel
|
The RADIONAV also interfaces, on the version described here, with the Blue&Me system, which manages the telephone via Bluetooth, or with the Blue&Me Nav system, which also manages the SOS and Info functions, whilst the navigation functions are always managed by the RADIONAV. THIS CONFIGURATION IS KNOWN AS “INSTANT NAV”. |
The RADIONAV is a system with road maps makes it possible to determine the position of the vehicle on the map at any time (for both urban and extra-urban/motorway road networks) showing it on the radio navigator display.
In this way the driver is guided step-by-step to the required destination, by means of voice messages and visual information. The system also provides additional information for reaching general services, namely: hotels, car parks, restaurants, pharmacies, service stations, hospitals, ALFA ROMEO workshops, railway stations, airports, etc.
The navigation system uses GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite location technology and is inside the radio navigation unit.
The navigation maps are on a special SD card.
The GPS consists of an aerial that allows the vehicle to be GPS satellite-located: the aerial is connected to a receiver located in the integrated unit by means of a special shielded cable.
The GSM aerial is connected to the GSM unit inside the control unit used for the connection of GPRS data for services such as traffic in real time, navigation, etc.
The stylus aerial is fitted at the rear of the roof: it performs three functions (radio, GSM and GPS) because it also incorporates the radio aerial (FM1).
Vehicle position is identified by analysing GPS data together with speedometer and reverse gear signals received from the vehicle.
The Blue&Me system allows mobile phones to be used on board the vehicle safely.
- Bluetooth receiver;
- integral "Voice Recognition" unit including microphone (located next to the front roof light);
- Text to Speech integrated module;
- USB interface for Media Player.
The control unit that manages the entire system is also connected to radio controls on the steering wheel (there are two special buttons for this function in addition to the radio control buttons).
The entire operation of the system is also managed by voice commands, received by the microphone near the front roof light.
The radio navigation unit and the Bluetooth control unit are two CAN nodes through which information is exchanged with the Body Computer and with the other electronic units.
On the Blue&Me Nav version, there are two additional control buttons in the trim in front of the centre roof light:- SOS: access to Roadside Assistance Services- Info: access to infomobility services
