New Astra audio equipment offers a
choice of CD player with MP3 format/
stereo radio or a CD-based satellite
navigation unit with seven-inch colour
monitor. A Digital Audio Broadcast
(DAB) radio option is also available on
both audio units offering a variety of
advantages over traditional FM quality
(see page 57).
The standard new Astra CD player
with MP3 format/stereo radio (CD 400)
features a single-disc CD player, an
auxiliary-in socket, RDS with Traffic
Programme, 7-band graphic equaliser

includes a navigation CD covering over
30 countries with a comprehensive
travel guide. There’s 1GB flash memory
available for copying navigation data
across from a map CD, while RDS Traffic
Programme messages are automatically
displayed and can be included in route
planning at any time. It also has 20 watts
per channel output, seven premium

console storage for MP3 player and

Navigation made clearer. Located high
in the driver’s sight line, the CD 500
seven-inch colour monitor provides
superb clarity. It is recessed to avoid
visual interference from direct sunlight.
Infinity Premium Sound System. For the ultimate sound performance, the optional
Infinity Premium Sound System features a Digital Sound Processor and a 7x45 watts
per channel output amplifier to drive eight premium speakers, comprising one
8-inch subwoofer in the luggage compartment, two 6.5-inch front door-mounted
subwoofers, two 6.5-inch rear door-mounted wide-band speakers, one front-mounted
3.5-inch medium-range speaker and two A-pillar mounted 1-inch tweeters. The result
is superlative acoustic response in all driving conditions.
Mobile phone systems. Available as an extra cost option, new Astra can be
pre-equipped for hands-free operation of most mobile phones using wireless
Bluetooth
®
technology. There are two systems available, both of which allow
all key functions to be operated from either the steering wheel, the audio unit
or via voice control.
