Blaupunkt launches android-based multimedia system

Adding to their long list of entertainment systems, Blaupunkt has launched a new android-based multimedia and navigation system called Cape Town 940. It runs on the Jelly Bean version of the Android operating system. The Cape Town 940 is available as an aftermarket fitment, and is priced at Rs 54,990.

Some of the features that the new entertainment system boasts of include a 6.8-inch touchscreen, customisable user interface, internet connectivity via WiFi, smartphone integration, standalone music player application, HDMI/MHL, reversing camera display and steering mounted controls compatibility, independent rear seat entertainment and Bluetooth connectivity capable of connecting two phones simultaneously.

The Cape Town 940 can also be had with optional maps on the SD card, which provides navigation, with live traffic updates for a few cities (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai for now), speed alerts and lane guidance. The navigation function has been sourced from MapMyIndia and costs an additional Rs 3,999.

The Cape Town also has a Mirror Mode function which replicates the phone screen onto the head unit, and allows for full phone functionality from the touchscreen. The only catch is that you'll need to connect your phone with a mini HDMI cable, a feature all phones don't support.

Blaupunkt also has plans of approaching car manufacturers with this new product. The company also said that the product is fully customisable and has been introduced via some OEMs in Malaysia.

Honda CB Unicorn 160 vs Suzuki Gixxer comparison

There is no replacement for displacement, as goes the old American saying, with which the rest of the world often nods in agreement. Increase in the number of cubic centimeters of fuel that our engines burn, seems only to be a pleasant idea to almost every petrolhead. More power, more torque and a healthier sounding grunt from the exhaust are the common expectations from larger engines. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has walked this same path, to add 10 extra cubic centimeters of capacity to the now proven CB Unicorn engine, to make the Honda CB Unicorn 160. FROLIC FASHION Although some of the features of the older CB Unicorn have been bettered, we’ve gone ahead and pitched it right in at the deep end, to face off against the very best in the segment to find out the exact degree to which this motorcycle has improved. So, in steps the Suzuki Gixxer, a Japanese-made premium commuter that’s fast rising to the top of its segment, with enough promise to overshadow all o...

2018 Lamborghini Urus India review, test drive

On first introduction, it’s a recipe for intimidation. It’s claimed to be the fastest SUV in the world (0-100kph in 3.6sec and a top speed of 305kph puts it nearly in supercar territory), and it’s made by Lamborghini – creator of some of the most savage vehicles on the market. Things – as with any Lamborghini, for that matter – would be a lot less daunting if we were driving on a smooth European country road, a wide motorway, or even a race track. But today we’re driving the Urus on a narrow ghat road, as well as through some heavy Pune traffic. Perhaps the intention was to demonstrate that this is the first Lamborghini ever to go on sale in India that truly works in our conditions – but still, I doubt they accounted for rush hour. It’s requisitely mad to look at, employing as many ‘sporty’ design tropes to an SUV body style as possible – the only thing missing is a massive wing on the back; and somehow, it works. It’s ...

Land Rover Discovery Sport review

Two things. To start with, it’s Land Rover’s replacement for the popular and capable Freelander. It’s also the first of the models from Land Rover’s new Discovery sub-brand, one that will focus on utility in the same vein as the Range Rover line is about luxury. The Discovery Sport was shown as a concept last year and the production version’s styling doesn’t stray too far from the prototype. It’s smart, well proportioned and interesting but doesn’t have the show value of something like an Evoque. Still, there’s a certain honesty to the chunky shape which, if you think about it, more than links the Sport to the Freelander. The Sport is 91mm longer than its predecessor and also sits on a wheelbase that’s grown by 80mm. These increments, and the incorporation of a compact multi-link rear suspension, have allowed Land Rover to fit in a third row of seats, giving the Sport a big advantage over its five-seat competitors – the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Volvo XC60. But Land Rover is being cau...
