2012 Kluger - Fujitsu Ten audio units

[Popey]

We picked up our new 2012 build KX-S yesterday.

It came with a new type of audio unit which wasn't in the Kluger when we ordered last year.

The KX-S has unit model PZQ60-00511.

I found this document which gives an overview of the 3 levels of audio unit they are putting in the new Klugers.

It has a nice touch screen interface. Very easy to pair up with the iPhone, and stream music and make phone calls.

The KX-S unit is now a single disc CD instead of the previous 6 stack CD.

One thing I have noticed is the unit is capable of displaying the reverse camera, but this doesn't appear to have been wired up, it still just displays on the small screen above. Will question this at first service.

It has an SD card slot, which on the Grande apparently contains the SatNav maps, but for the KX-S unit is pretty much pointless. You cannot play music from it, it's only apparent use is to display photos on the screen. Would be nice if you could play music from it rather than having to use a USB stick.

Hi, I wonder if this is the unit they will install after repeated complaints about the quality of Bluetooth in the original head unit?

So are they updating the Grande headunit as well? These new units seem to offer better features and mapping than the Grande!!!

[Popey]

No mapping in the KX-S unit. The Grande unit looks the same but is has the extra functionality of SatNav.

Fujitsu Ten make high quality av equipment for vehicles, so that is great!

I can confirm that my Feb 2012 built KX-S has the new unit (Level 2 Digital Audio).
