Newly released on the market, Hype Multimedia Systems is a brand specialized in embedded multimedia. In addition to its classic car audio video, Hype Multimedia Systems offers compatible car OEMs to integrate multimedia without modifying the car. Here is a model specifically dedicated to the 307 after 2005!
integrated, functional and very affordable!
Integrate a media source without changing the receiver location and without changing the wiring is definitely the future of radio, just to see how quickly develops this type of unit. This proposed Hype Multimedia Systems is not new, but the brand has the merit of several models for French cars. The HW745GPS mounts in the original location, without amendment, taking over the fasteners and the original wiring. Of course, this handset is also compatible with the original remote display and steering wheel of origin: the true "plug and play! A big advantage to simplify the installation of a multimedia station, and it resets in original condition the car for resale. See in detail the benefits of the new Peugeot 307 car special!
Benefits: Relatively complete!
From architecture point of view, this unit is relatively straightforward: the DVD slot is placed over the touch screen of 6.5 inch 16:9, and a few buttons around the screen. From a functional standpoint, the HW745GPS gives pride to mobile devices. It has an iPod control, USB port, an audio / video and an SD slot for use independent of the browser. We can use an SD card with MP3 at the same time as browsing: a good thing! But that's not all, this handset is also equipped with Bluetooth and a microphone in front for hands-free telephony. By cons, it is regrettable that the device does not download the phone directory. Particularity rarer, this item has an analog TV tuner. As with the Secam, this tuner can receive analogue TV French, but a digital tuner would have otherwise been preferable.
This handset is compatible with the iPod, but it's a shame it does not display album covers
Of course, the HW745GPS also includes a GPS, and not only that, since it is a system running IGO, a software widely recognized for his skills in navigation. The mapping is safe and has many European POI. However no TMC function yet very practical in big cities. The conventional navigation functions are of course present. For reception of GPS signals, Hype Multimedia Systems provides a small GPS antenna placed on the dashboard. To finish this presentation, let us come to classical functions. This handset is an RDS tuner with 18 FM memories. The DVD player is compatible with almost all formats, including DivX.
The DVD player is also DivX
Note the presence of the dual zone function, which will distribute the video for rear passengers on a remote screen. It also has a rear camera input. Hype Multimedia Systems offers reversing cameras for some specific vehicles, to facilitate integration. The integrated amplifier delivers 4x45 watts. If it is not enough, two line outputs are present to feed the power amps. Of note is the presence of an equalizer and a loudness correction for listening. Finally, an IR remote control is standard. In short, the features are quite extensive.
Discover and use: functional and qualitative!
The installation of such a receiver takes only a few minutes, since it takes over the CAN bus home. Apart from the GPS antenna and the iPod cord, there are no other connections to make.The cables are long enough to place the GPS antenna in a corner of the dashboard, and the iPod in the glove box. At ignition, the menu has really good sources, but after each source, the GUI is too simplistic for our liking. This does not affect usability, but aesthetically, it's a bit bland.Overall, the HW745GPS is well designed, but certain features are disappointing because few accomplished. Bluetooth does not download the phonebook. The iPod does not display album covers. Nothing too serious either, but these functions lose convenience. In the Paris area, the analog TV tuner worked, but forgot the stock! Hype Multimedia Systems should have put a digital tuner instead.
Too bad that some features are incomplete
For the rest, nothing to say, the HW745GPS is in the standard. The DVD offers a good listener, but not qualitative level of the class tenors. That said, the sound quality is sufficient for the fun and only audiophiles can find fault. The screen offers good image quality is bright and colorful. No particular concern with the RDS. The dynamics of the original amp is correct, but to have better attacks, it is preferable to use the line outputs. Media nomads and the Bluetooth function work well. Finally, the GPS gave us full satisfaction. And it's not a surprise, since it uses IGO, a soft well-known in this field. And this is probably one of the highlights of this handset! Car radios Multimedia at the lowest price often use navigation systems unreliable, see insecure for some brands. Hype Multimedia systems that works very well.
The notice of caraudioinstallation
What results from this new brand. First, these prices are very aggressive and will appeal to small budgets, which may have is a very comprehensive product. Overall, the device works well, even if not the best "category. The functionality is good, listening to pleasant and efficient browser: and that's the point. However, there is still a little hungry with certain features such as Bluetooth wireless directory, iPod control without album covers. The graphical interface is a bit bland and lacking real design from the last Japanese aircraft. Anyway, the HW745GPS is offered at a very attractive price. At least 500 Euros for a multimedia handset OEMs, it is one of the cheapest in the category. We can not just be like on a device more than 1000 Euros. Here, Hype Multimedia Systems allow small budgets to have fun without breaking the bank! In short, a brand experience for its catalog is quite large!
