Armed with the largest display monitor available for in-dash applications, Clarion VRX848RVD has come to market with a 7-inch, widescreen monitor. The monitor operates automatically and opens and closes at the touch of a button. For optimal viewing, the monitor is also equipped with five adjustable angles. And if the monitor blocks your vehicle's air conditioner controls, Clarion provides added functionality with its Air Conditioner Access mode. This feature will tilt your monitor down momentarily, allowing for easy access to your vehicle's air conditioner controls.

With its touch-panel capabilities, Clarion's in-dash 7-inch monitor allows for simple, yet accurate control of all functions, including all visual and sound related entertainment sources. Clarion also outfits its monitors with an on-screen numeric keypad so users can easily select specific tracks from a CD or DVD. The touch-panel surface is also treated to resist dust and grime so you'll always be looking at a clear, clean image.

The in-dash, 7-inch monitor is the source for all media and function information, allowing the user to access a host of features with a simple touch of the onscreen menu. The menu is laid out in an easy-to-understand fashion by displaying all actions related to media sources and functions.

Close the main LCD screen to automatically activate the VRX848RVD's separate display panel, which provides you with all information relative to the entertainment source in use. This separate panel utilises a simple, yet accurate display format, providing you with information such as a CD's "Play Time", or station information when using the radio tuner.

On top of that the flip-down front panel hides the DVD loading slot, and acts as the main display when the 7-inch monitor is closed. When the monitor is open, the front panel display shows secondary operation information along with the main LCD screen.
