The VW Transporter with Alpine's new X008AU navigation system from Automotive Integration.

Tradesmen seem to be spending more time in their commercial vehicles these days so it makes perfect sense to make that time as comfortable as possible. With the new Alpine X008UA 8" navigation system, all the creature comforts you could possibly want from a head unit are at your finger tips.

The X008AU makes in-car entertainment an entirely new experience with it's 43% larger touch screen. Enjoy stunning playback of CD/DVD, iPod/iPhone video and music, DivX video and WMA/MP3/AAC from USB devices, plus a HDMI input for connection of smartphones and other devices for playback of video and content output.  For optimum sound tuning options, Bass Engine SQ technology is built-in allowing quick advanced bass level adjustment, and the Alpine TuneIt TTS App for iOS or Android provides a full set of sound tuning options performed right from the smartphone. The built-in Bluetooth Plus provides audio streaming and full hands-free operation with access to phonebook and advanced functions. Its innovative 'One-Look Navi' allows a 50/50 split screen mode which displays navigation and the selected source for convenient operation and information at a glance.  With its premium navigation you have high-res maps with live traffic updates, text-to-speech, 3D landmarks, fixed speed and red light camera alert, 4WD off road maps and an enhanced POI database.

The Ferrari California retrofit camera system from Automotive Integration.

The Ferrari California is one of my personal favourites when it comes to an all-rounder GT performance car. Whilst sporting a hard-top convertible and a front mounted V8, the California makes no sacrifices with comfort or luxury.

The specifications  speak for them self4.3-litre direct-injected V8 engine that sends 490 horsepower (365Kw) and 372 lb-ft. of torque to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. This V8  is capable of propelling the California from zero to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.

The owner of this particular vehicle approached us to find a rear view camera solution as the rear viability is limited over the high rear deck of the car. Automotive Integration managed to find a solution that is almost identical to the factory system in every way apart from the costly rear bar replacement. The original rear bar was retained and a small, flush mounted, 170° high definition lens was mounted in the factory position. The image is auto switched to the Ferrari screen with a crisp, wide angel view of all that is behind the vehicle. The AIS module even brings the camera option up in the the menu of the radio.
