[Navi Review] Carrozzeria 2015 model "Raku Navic-RL99"

This time, the review will be the "Avic-RL99", the top model that uses the 8V monitor.However, the Wide 2DIN size "Avic-RW99" and the 2DIN size "Avic-RZ99" are also different in monitor size and buttons, but are not the same in terms of functions (hereinafter 99 series).You just have to choose a model that can be attached to your car.

The 2015 model is a minor change specification of the 2014 model (series 09 series), and the specifications are followed.

Specifically, ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・3.0+EDR/iPod/iPhone connection compatible, Brilliant finish panel, 4 tuner x 4 antenna, built -in terrestrial digital TV tuner (12 -segment/1Seg).

Avic-RL99 uses a 8V monitor, so it does not fit in the DIN space, and a special fitting is required for installation.Currently, 18 types are scheduled to be released or released, and the compatible models are popular models such as Toyota "Prius", "Aqua", Honda "Fit", and Nissan "Serena".The test ride this time is the Honda "N-BOX", and when the 8V-type monitor fits in the compact light vehicle instrument panel, as well as the genuine-like appearance, it is clearly different from the 7V type.In addition to the price difference of the main unit, the cost of dedicated fitting will be added, but if you are a compatible model, you want to choose this.

Of course, "smart loop traffic jam information" using probes unique to Carrozzeria can also be used. In the past, the corresponding roads were limited due to differentiation from Cyber ​​Navi, but now it is about 700,000 km of all roads, including VICS. Although this function itself is not new, it is not an exaggeration to say killer content in terms of practicality. To use this function, you can connect the optional data communication communication module "ND-DC2" or use a smartphone (required Bluetooth Pan/DUN profile). If you use a smartphone, some functions, such as "Map Charge", such as "Map Charge," for updating the map via communication, are not supported, but it is nice that extra expenses are not required. Not only users with a high mileage, but also Sundade driver, which is mainly on Saturdays and Sundays, can run comfortably in avoiding traffic congestion, and the expected time for arrival is more accurate, so it is a great benefit. 。

In addition, when data communication becomes possible, "free word audio search" can be used.The recognition rate is good, which requires about 5-10 seconds for the dialogue -recognition type that uses the cloud.Since there is no need to use the touch panel while looking at the screen, this one is faster even with the number of characters such as "Haneda Airport".It is a very fun moment that a single utterance is determined to be a strange sense of accomplishment.However, if you can't recognize it several times if the utterance is bad, you won't be a little irritated.If you grab the habit of recognition, the recognition rate will increase, so it may be a point to keep using it without giving up.

In addition, in addition to the "free word search" used by letters, it is possible to check the weather forecast, the parking lot full information, the operating ATM, and the gasoline price, making navigation more convenient.
