Clarion introduced black version of its bluetooth audio head unit
(13/08/2008)

Following the launch of its bluetooth audio head unit, Clarion has introduced a black version of the in-car audio showpiece, for a more seamless integration with a greater number of drivers dashboards.

Featuring no mechanical parts, the FB289RBT audio source unit benefits from built-in Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP & AVRCP) and Bluetooth Handsfree calling technology (HFP & HSP) - via an external microphone - whilst MP3 (including ID3-TAG display) playback is made possible thanks to an SD card slot behind the flip-down control panel.

The futuristic looks of the FB289RBT are created through a 728 variable colour display, whilst four acrylic arched buttons either side of the mirror-finished, central rotary volume control, use indirect lighting to create an impression of fins, and produce the ‘Metal Shark’ design.

Also featuring 18 FM station presets via an RDS-EON tuner, an AUX in as well as 2-channel audio pre-out and 4 x 50 watts of amplification, the FB289RBT has a typical selling price of just £149.00 via its appointed dealers across the UK.
