2017 Mercedes G-Class G350d Professional Navigation and Reversing Camera by Automotive Integration

The Mercedes G-Class G350d Professional is designed to be rugged and travel over rough terrain. It is seen as the new kid on the block to replace the iconic Land Rover Defender that ceased production recently.   The cabin creature comforts are purely aimed at brutal off road functionality rather than urban luxury which is why the OEM radio seems a little lacking in features. However, here at Automotive Integration, we understand it's important to also know where you're going. This is why we  worked with a local Mercedes dealer to develop an aftermarket solution to add integrated navigation, USB, Bluetooth phone with audio streaming and reversing camera to the G-Class.

The Clarion NZ502A headunit features a high resolution screen, built-in NAVTEQ Mapping and Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, and USB connectivity. The fold-out display retracts neatly into the dashboard when not needed, and provides an easy to use touch screen interface when required.

The display with  the screen closed gives you station read out and track names with scan and volume control.

The reverse camera is a 170° wide angle Sony lens mounted just below the door. It gives you vision of both tow hooks bordering the camera image as well as the towbar when fitted. The parking lines are set to line up with the road and give a visual indication of distance. The camera is water resistant and designed to be out  in the elements.

Maserati Gransport Navigation and Parking Cameras from Automotive Integration

IMG_0232.jpg

The Maserati Gransport turns 12 years old this year, and the factory Becker radio is beginning to show its age in this era of integrated navigation, Bluetooth and parking cameras. That's why Automotive Integration has developed a solution to bring this classic sports car up to date. Using a 7" Clarion flip out screen, that fits directly into the original radio slot, we've been able to add all of these features to the Gransport without modifying or damaging the car.

This customer was particularly concerned with park assist cameras on the front and rear of the car. Using 170 degree HD cameras, we were able to give him parking guides on both ends of the car discreetly and effectively.

Activated manually by the user, the front camera image is clearly showing the front of the car. The red parking line is ~30cm from the front of the car, giving the user a clear indicator of distance.
