DRIVING AND WORKING SATISFACTION
 

The New Doblò (car and Cargo) surrounds its driver and passengers with technologies that assure the highest standards of comfort. This is illustrated by the long list of options you can use to customise your vehicle. These devices include two radios (with tape or CD player) and CONNECT, the sophisticated state-of-the-art infotelematic system that includes satellite navigation, a radio, a CD player, GSM dual-band handsfree phone, voice commands and bCONNECT services.

A particularly extensive accessory range has been designed for the New Doblò. These items enhance the flexibility, practicality and comfort of the new model within a highly original design context. The accessories are complemented by a range of practical and functional items designed to suit the unmistakable, fun-filled personality of the New Doblò: examples include convenient carrier bars, a satellite antitheft system, a parking sensor and a clear box. The role of the clear box is to monitor the vehicle. It continually monitors the data to allow the vehicle to be tracked in real time and/or historically; locate its position; record the mileage and the driving style - and above all to benefit from beneficial third party liability insurance rates as part of the Pay Per Use package. You can also equip your vehicle with a handsfree system with Bluetooth technology.

Sound system

The very attractive sound system range includes two types of radio (optional) produced by Blaupunkt. The radios were designed in conjunction with the German company, a world leader in the sector and all share the feature that the sound system has been thoroughly developed and adjusted to the specific passenger compartment. The system consists of six speakers (two speakers on the dashboard, two in the front doors and two in the parcel rack mount) that develop a power output of 4 x 20 Watts.

Both radios are built into the design of the dashboard and laid out in user-friendly fashion. The radios are located on the upper part of the facia (the correct arrangement for the driver) and are also within easy reach of the passenger. They can also store up to 30 stations and offer RDS (Radio Data System), PTY (the code that radio stations use to indicate the type of music broadcast) and TA (traffic announcement) function. The radios are also fitted with a useful device that ensures the radio is turned on at the volume setting active when it was turned off. The difference between the two levels lies in the player. The first type plays tapes while the second can be used to play single CDs and comes with a mechanism that regulates the volume according to vehicle speed.

Radios with CD players are protected against theft due to a communication link with the electronic unit that manages the electrical system (body computer). This is how it works: when the radio is turned on, the body computer reads the radio safety code (four-figure) and activates it only if the numerical sequence is recognised. This makes the device unusable on any car (unless fitted with the same device). The radio with tape player is also protected against theft by a personal secret code. The New Doblò offers radio wiring including a roof-mounted aerial and all the electrical connections required to install the system as standard. Wiring for a mobile phone with dual function aerial is an option: this is used for tuner reception and phone signal transmission (so that the customer does not need to add another aerial - to safeguard vehicle quality and reliability).

Handsfree system with Bluetooth technology

The Bluetooth handsfree system available from the accessory range ensures maximum driving safety under all conditions. The system allows customers with Bluetooth mobile phones to use their phones even when in their jacket pockets or handbags. This system automatically lowers the radio volume (if turned on) and allows you to hear the person you are speaking to through the stereo speakers.

Connect

The New Doblò may be equipped as an option with CONNECT, a sophisticated cutting-edge infotelematic system that includes a satellite navigation system radio, CD player, dual-band GSM handsfree phone, voice commands and bCONNECT services.

The device is located in the centre of the facia and is equipped with a 5 inch TFT colour screen (active matrix) that allows the driver to follow easy instructions for the set route on the display (and also voice commands). CONNECT is a telematic product that makes cutting-edge technology available to drivers and ensures in-car living is even more comfortable and easy while you are en route for your destination. All this comes courtesy of the GPS/GSM network and the benefits of satellite communication: one press of the green key allows customers to communicate in handsfree mode in their own language (six are available) with an operator who can meet all their information and service requirements. The various services on offer include, for example, the possibility of receiving information on motorway traffic conditions in real time for a custom route or an area of interest or record a short conversation when it is not possible to take notes (voice memo function).

The device is available as an option in two specification levels: CONNECT Nav, including RDS radio with CD, trip computer, GSM phone with hands free operation, GPS module and SOS key to link up to the Contact Centre and receive assistance and information, pictogram navigation system; the second level, CONNECT Nav+, complements the above functions with a map navigation system with 5 inch active matrix colour display, atlas functions, voice commands for the phone and a voice memo.
