The car audio system by Clarion features multimedia touch screen 9 inches. Supports USB and Bluetooth connections, to listen to music from a USB stick or your mobile phone, and also to make calls. Additionally, through the AUX input, it offers you the ability to connect portable music players like an mp3 player directly to the front for an easy and comfortable music experience.
It has built-in Wi-Fi, for wireless connectivity specially designed to support a cable-free data connection between your smartphone and the audio system.
Supports connection with steering wheel controls and with a rearview camera (adapter required) to help you maintain better visual contact with the car's external environment.
Attention: Installation is recommended to be carried out by a specialized technician.
Specifications are collected from official manufacturer websites. Please verify the specifications before proceeding with your final purchase. If you notice any problem you can report it here.
I preferred the Clarion as a more "branded" option compared to the other "generic" ones on the market to "have a more peaceful mind." Unfortunately, I was utterly disappointed!
Let's start with the positives:
1) The screen is of amazing clarity with a high resolution (1280x800) and IPS without reflections and with a wide viewing angle.
2) It fit perfectly in the head unit of the Jimny.
3) The connectivity is extremely simple; I installed it myself in no time, no special skills needed. I should note that I don't have steering wheel controls, a rearview camera, etc.
4) The menus and learning process are very simple; it won't take you more than 10-15 minutes to find everything.
5) The startup is instantaneous.
Now, let's move on to the negatives:
1) The GPS accuracy is laughable; I have tried many devices in the past (phones, tablets), but I have never seen such a mess. I placed the antenna in the center of the dashboard (from the inside) with the windshield above, meaning it "sees" the sky, it's not buried somewhere deep. Since it sees several satellites with a good signal during the check, I assume it simply doesn't support other systems besides GPS (GLONASS, BDS, Galileo).
2) Its Wi-Fi is frankly unacceptable! On one hand, the signal strength is terrible (at 4 meters from the central router of the house with only the front door as an obstacle, the signal is mediocre, while the phone is full), on the other hand, it disconnects constantly, which drives you crazy. Also, many times it can't connect at all ("connection failure") while trying. I am forced to use my phone as a hotspot to be able to use various functions that require the internet.
For me, the GPS & Wi-Fi are the main reasons I got it, so one star is already too much...
Update: I changed the position of the GPS antenna and placed it right under the dashboard (it was a bit deeper before). The accuracy of the signal improved 100%, so no problem anymore! Three stars then to be fair.
Another issue I noticed is that the touch buttons on the left side of the screen (volume control, etc.) do not light up unless the car's lights are on, resulting in them being completely invisible.
