VDO Dayton’s new PN 4000 and PN 6000 do much more than help you find your way around town, they let you watch TV too. Now for your morning commute, you can catch all the latest headlines via its DVB-T receiver.

This device was first unveiled at the IAA International Motor Show Cars in Frankfurt. Other specs include a 4.3 inch touchscreen on the PN 4000 model and a 5.3 inch on the PN 6000. Both models also feature 2D or 3D high resolution maps and you can opt for getting live traffic updates by buying the RDS/TMC traffic receiver. Also on board you’ll find a SD slot for music and videos and it supports Bluetooth.

VDO Dayton has now integrated a receiver for digital TV signals alongside the navigation computer. This receiver, which is available in large areas of Europe, brings the “television of the future” into the vehicle. Due to powerful batteries and an external power supply, the PN 4000 can be operated outside the vehicle, like at camp grounds, the beach or vacation homes. Because the antennas are designed to be highly sensitive and redundant, the system ensures television reception even at speeds of up to 160 km/h allowing the back seat to become a mobile home theater on long road trips.

Not only does the dual tuner receive the television program, but it also displays screen text, television subtitles, and the electronic program listings for the next four days.

Unfortunately for our American readers, the TV’s antena is useless as it can only work in European countries. So, if you live in Europe, this is the GPS for you.
