Part Tour Guide, Part Personal Entertainer … N.I.C.E.
Clarion’s new Navigation In-Car Entertainment (N.I.C.E.) system does more than address
today’s hottest in-car electronics features. It also takes on today’s biggest challenges, such
as OEM integration and the industry’s pursuit of that all-important disposable dollar. Why?
N.I.C.E. can integrate with any existing stereo, and its transportability and host of entertain-
ment- and information-related options make it one heck of an investment.
So what is N.I.C.E. (pronounced )? It’s Clarion’s answer to tomorrow’s “infotainment age,
offering what’s hot in today’s marketplace: GPS navigation, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, mobile
video, music/picture storage and playback. N.I.C.E. also offers safety with its rear-view
camera capability.
Cosmetically, the unit’s gunmetal finish and sleek design may remind some of a high-end headrest monitor. But packed
inside is a 20GB hard drive containing mapping software of the entire continental United States, Hawaii and parts of
Canada. This hard drive can also be used to store JPEG photos and MP3, WMA and WAV music files. As for hardware,
N.I.C.E. comes equipped with a built-in GPS antenna, speaker and FM transmitter. For connectivity, N.I.C.E. offers a 2.0
USB and 1.0 USB port, an A/V input, dedicated rear-view camera port, a line level audio output, and a port for an external
(optional) GPS Antenna.

number which is stored in the Fax Back database.
Ordering a Vehicle–Specific Page
Once you have received the vehicle catalog you can order
a detailed wiring diagram of the vehicle you are working

vehicle catalogs you order. This will save you time when
