I also liked the fact I could jump out of the car at a shop with my phone in my pocket, get back in and continue playing my music via Bluetooth like I never even left the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>It was also handy that it shows the battery level of your Bluetooth device, that might seem a bit\u00a0gimmicky but I found it useful considering my phone stay&#8217;s in my pocket most of the time in-car and I usually find that I&#8217;ve missed important calls due to having a flat battery from not paying attention to battery levels.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Sony_XAV72BT_003.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-479\" title=\"Sony_XAV72BT_003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Sony_XAV72BT_003.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"506\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Sony_XAV72BT_003.jpg 632w, https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Sony_XAV72BT_003-300x220.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>7.0 inch TFT Active Monitor<br \/>\n17:9 Monitor Aspect Ratio<br \/>\nS-MOSFET Output Power: 52W x 4<br \/>\nPre Out: 4.1 Ch<br \/>\nSensMe ZAPPIN;\/USB\/ Bluetooth functions<br \/>\nPAL \/ NTSC \/ SECAM \/ PAL-M automatic select<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>General<\/p>\n<p>Dimensions (W x H x D) Approx. 178 x 100 x 189mm<br \/>\nMounting Dimensions (W x H x D) Approx. 182 x 111 x 164mm<br \/>\nWeight (kg) Approx. 2.5kg<\/p>\n<p>Monitor<\/p>\n<p>LCD Type TFT Active Matrix<br \/>\nScreen Aspect 17:9<br \/>\nContrast Ratio 850<br \/>\nScreen Diagonal (Inch\/cm) 7.0&#8243;<br \/>\nScreen Size (W x H) (mm) 157.2 x 82.32mm<br \/>\nResolution: Number of Picture Segment 800 x 480<br \/>\nDimmer<br \/>\nColour System PAL \/ NTSC \/ SECAM \/ PAL-M automatic select<br \/>\nMotorised<br \/>\nBrightness (cd\/m) 950<\/p>\n<p>Tuner<\/p>\n<p>Preset FM18 \/ AM12<br \/>\nBest Tuning Memory (BTM)<br \/>\nCD Playback CD-R\/RW, MP3 (with ID3Tag v.2.4), WMA, AAC<\/p>\n<p>Amplifier<\/p>\n<p>S-MOSFET Output Power 52W x 4<br \/>\nPre Out 4.1ch<br \/>\nSub Out<br \/>\nEQ7 7-Band Equalizer<\/p>\n<p>Overall its a very cool unit with a nice sized touch-screen, easy to use large touch buttons.
