Celsus Media DAB Rocks the OEM Conversion

MediaDAB, the Celsus hideaway item to convert OEM car audio systems to cool new digital radio has been shipping since September and has been received tremendously well by retailers and consumers alike. The first two shipments of the product have been pre-sold before they have reached Celsus, such is the demand for the product.
MediaDAB is a hot cake.

Now, the latest piece of news is the Celsus MediaDAB has gone through two new developments to improve the product’s consumer interface and product function (even though no other competing product is shipping yet!).
Firstly, for cars that do not have steering wheel audio controls the new development from Celsus will allow MediaDAB to be operated by a remote control. This makes the MediaDAB far more versatile and increases its appeal to both car manufacturers and the dealer network who require a ‘one product fits all’ solution.
Secondly new software is being used in the new box which adds improvements including:

– Additional CAN Bus protocol
– New languages (Italian & German added)
– Remote Control Function added
– Additional steering control button support
– Progressive Consumer Control
– Quick SCAN
– Quick ‘˜ADD TO FAVOURITE’

Existing features of the product
– User friendly menu, through speech synthesis
– True OEM Integration – control & display
– Patented Technology
– Data displayed on original vehicle radio
– Utilises existing Steering Wheel Controls – where fitted
– High Quality Audio with tested & proven technology
– Firmware updatable, so future-proof
