The system, which is available as an optional extra and via subscription, will allow rear seat passengers access to a range of television programs provided by a dedicated multicast network, FLO TV Inc.
Chrysler will showcase its new technology at this week’s New York International Auto Show, and says the network will provide “something for everyone” with programs suited to a wide range of interests, age groups and professions.
In the past, mobile TV had posed a challenge to vehicle manufacturers with high-quality, uninterrupted coverage in built-up areas and at highway speeds almost impossible to achieve. Existing systems also often required large, roof-mounted receivers or only offered limited channels. They were also quite expensive.
The Chysler system experiences none of these issues and is already available in over 100 major US cities and on many interstate highways. The system uses a small antenna, roughly the same size and shape as a laptop mouse, mounted to the outside of the vehicle’s roof to receive a digital TV signal.
The receiver unit and all wiring inside the vehicle is completely hidden from view.The system, which can be integrated with existing Chrysler branded entertainment systems, is available on Chrysler Grand Voyager, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Commander, Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Journey, Dodge Nitro, Ram 1500 and Ram 2500/3500 models for approximately USD$629 (excluding installation). The price includes a one-year subscription. A remote control and wireless headphones are also available. - caradvice
