Alpine Portable Navigation Blackbird PMD-B200P
955 days
Alpine PMD-B200P Blackbird is small, portable, and offers more than just standard navigation. Its sleek black aluminum design is small enough to fit in your jacket pocket, plus you can insert the Blackbird to a docking ready AV head unit, such as the IVA-W505R. Use the Blackbird alone, or use it inside your AV head unit – it’s up to you!
With map coverage across Europe, you can go where you want, and Blackbird will guide your way. View 6 million Point of Interests locations on an anti-glare 4″ LCD touch screen. Alpine’s exclusive Graphical User Interface screen graphics deliver easy-to-understand, at a glance on-screen driving directions, as well as simple and easy to use menus and controls. Blackbird includes TMC, so it will also alert you to road incidents and road congestion levels.
Why not maximise your Blackbird and hook it up to the rest of your Alpine system? If you hook it up to a compatible Alpine AV head unit you can view the map through your AV head unit screen. With an IVA-W505R or IVA-W205R, you can control your navigation with PulseTouch, simply let your fingers interact with the screen. Add speakers, sub, amps, and enjoy the music through your full Alpine system.

EUROPEAN IN-CAR AMPLIFIER 2009-2010
Kenwood KAC-X4D Four Channel Digital Power Amplifier
Even with its powerful array of advanced audio technologies, the KAC-X4D is 49% smaller than conventional in-car power amps, measuring a mere 235 x 192 x 52 mm. Not surprisingly, therefore, this 120W, four-channel, Class-D power amplifier for in-car applications is the most compact in its class.
EISA Comments
By introducing the KAC-X4D, Kenwood has given us a unit that embodies all aspects of a modern in-car amplifier. As a full range Class D amplifier, the KAC-X4D is extraordinarily efficient. And so, in spite of its tiny footprint it offers lots of power, excellent sound quality and immaculate measurements. This has been achieved by the highest quality engineering of the 21st century. A first class amplifier of modern design and impressive performance, the KAC-X4D is easy to install and use. Based on a concept that leaves no wishes unfulfilled this unit truly makes a step into the future.
