Nokia launched the Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W last week, the first integrated handsfree solution to combine high-quality communication, music, navigation and push-to-talk in the car. Thanks to a Pop-Port interface and Bluetooth wireless technology, the easy-to-use system is compatible with a broad range of mobile phones and delivers excellent audio quality featuring DSP (Digital Signal Processing).

Previously, drivers who wanted to retrofit their cars with music, navigation or communication had to install each system separately. Now, the new Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W bundles all these applications in a single solution. It can be used with a compatible mobile phone as a personal in-car music player music box or in connection with the Nokia Navigation Pack LD-2 for convenient navigation. The comfortable operating unit puts phone, music and navigation functions at the user's fingertips. 

Music stored on a compatible mobile phone can be played over the vehicle speakers in stereo quality using a cable connection or via Bluetooth streaming, based on the Bluetooth A2DP Profile. This turns the mobile phone into an in-car music player, with functions like start/stop, previous/next track readily accessible on the operating unit of the handsfree system. Owners of mobile MP3 players like the Apple iPod can also connect their player to the Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W using the cable that comes with the car kit or via Bluetooth -if supported by the respective player.

The Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W always gives priority to voice communications. The operating concept ensures, for example, that music playback is automatically muted when a call comes in or a navigation voice prompt is played.
