MAIN FEATURES

Exclusive to Audio Tech Direct, this brand new, high end PBA (Powered by Android) A89PRO series unit is finally here. The A89PRO series is powered by a super quick 8-CORE 2000MHz CPU combined with a 64GB internal flash drive and 4GB DDR meaning this system is boasting a benchmark score that does go above 200,000. With the quick processor and high RAM, the A89PRO Series from Audio Tech Direct will blow your mind, not your budget. This modern, complete and very user-friendly radio looks robust and gives the interior of your car a real upgrade. In addition, this car radio is equipped with the new CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.

 

The on board Android Operating System with robust performance, privacy protection improvements and all the benefits that come with it including access to the world's largest App Market. The Vehicle-Class Android Operating System means, we haven't added in the latest Android. We have added in a version that has been proven stable and re-engineered to give you the most stable Android solution on the market currently. Install your favourite apps like Spotify, YouTube, Google, play music online, hundreds of navigation options and get real-time traffic, use offline maps without using your phone and much more. Connect various external devices to expand functions. More than 1,000 apps from the Google Play Store are tested for installation, especially media/entertainment and navigation apps in the "Cars & Vehicles" category.

The ultimate co-pilot. Apple CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone while you drive. You can get directions, make calls, send and receive messages, and enjoy your favourite music. All on your car’s built-in display. And CarPlay now features more app categories and custom wallpapers for your CarPlay Dashboard. You can send audio messages with SiRi so you never have to look at your phone while driving. You can also have SiRi announce all your incoming messages then simple speak to reply. You can also ask SiRi to share your ETA with someone from your contacts list whilst navigating with Apple Maps, to help keep everyone who needs to know, in the know.

Android Auto brings apps to your car display so you can focus while you drive. You can control features like navigation, maps, calls, text messages, and music. Android Auto is your smart driving companion that helps you stay focused, connected, and entertained with the Google Assistant. With a simplified interface, large buttons, and powerful voice actions, Android Auto is designed to make it easier to use apps that you love from your phone while you’re on the road.

 

 header-bluetooth.png

 

A new version of the Bluetooth standard means various improvements. With Bluetooth 5.0, you can enjoy talking on the move with the hands free calling element of the head unit. Then with music, you have the A2DP Bluetooth Music mode and this will show the track information when streaming via smart mobile phone. Open Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Amazon Music etc on your phone and then open the A2DP App and start streaming. You can play/pause, track forward and track back on the touch screen. Song name and Artist will be displayed on the screen.

With the unit it is very easy to drive to your destination. This radio is standard equipped with an offline navigation program with which you can navigate without additional costs thanks to the supplied GPS receiver. The navigation can be set in various languages, including Dutch, French and English. If you opt for online, you can choose from, for example, Google Maps. However, if you look in the Google Play Store, you will see that there are many more options for navigating online. An example of this is Waze. Such applications allow you to navigate offline and update the maps free of charge.

 

header-dsp.png 

 

Thanks to a built-in DSP amplifier, you can enjoy accurate and lively sound under all circumstances with the car radio. When you play a song inside a building, it sounds different than a song playing in your car. This is because the acoustics are different, so the music is heard differently. A DSP can be used to smooth out differences in acoustics so your music will sound like you are hearing it in person instead of through a speaker. A Digital Signal Processor is a device that allows you to manipulate signals from various inputs and allows your speakers to play in a way that they were designed to by cutting out distortion and increasing overall volume.

 

 header-split-scren.png

 

This Android version makes it possible to use the split screen mode. Open and operate two applications at the same time on the HD touchscreen screen. You can use split screen mode on Android devices to view and use two apps simultaneously. It is worth noting, not all apps support this use but most do. The design has a renewed emphasis on the split-screen interface, so that you can manage up to two tasks at a time without removing the focus from the main reason there's a screen in your car.

In the current market, there are now many cheaply built replica units which look similar to ours but have extremely poor internals and parts such as thin flimsy metal frames and cheap plastics. These are simply low-grade, low-quality, cheaply built products which are flooding the market, many with even fake specifications! Which is why it is always important to choose a highly reputable and trusted source like Audio Tech Direct to avoid any disappointments.

 

When you invest in a A89PRO unit from Audio Tech Direct there are more benefits than just buying from an audio specialist brand established in 2014 with years of experience with Android units and countless happy customers. With exclusive features that PBA have either upgraded to, or developed in conjunction with our expert engineers (that others won't consider due to cost increases) you can have piece of mind you are buying a quality product supported by UK based staff who can help you with any questions you may have or help with using the product.

Please make sure you check the estimated delivery date within the listing.

We offer all items with FREE ECONOMY UK MAINLAND DELIVERY (Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands & Islands, Isle Of Man, Isle Of Scilly, Isle Of Wight, Jersey and Guernsey are not eligible for free delivery unless the item can be sent in the post).

Free delivery is only for UK mainland. Unfortunately, customers in remote areas will have a surcharge postage cost added at the checkout.

EU DELIVERIES

As the UK has now left the EU, any items shipped from our UK warehouse will most likely require customs (duty & VAT) to receive the item.

We ask buyers to be patient and if any action is required from yourselves to get it through customs, then you contact the shipping company ASAP to avoid any returns (as original postage cannot be credited back).

We do have a EU warehouse and if we can, we will try and use that for your delivery. This is not always possible but if we can, then we will as it will mean there is no customs and duty.

NON-EU DELIVERIES

For customers in non-EU countries, we find it is quicker and cheaper to actually send out our products direct from our manufacturing factory in CPR. This works out better value for the customer because the shipping cost is about 40% cheaper and it is about 5 days quicker in transit also. If you are unhappy with this, then you will need to let us know at the point of order but as it is cheaper and quicker, we doubt there will be an issue as we are well versed in export.

Some items are only in our UK warehouse, so will have to be dispatched from there. ). Please note, we have absolutely no control over customs processing/delays/fees. We ask buyers to be patient and if any action is required from yourselves to get it through customs, then you contact the shipping company ASAP to avoid any returns (as original postage cannot be credited back).

    Excellent head unit

    Posted by Daz Coleman on 14th May 2019

    Purchased this from the very helpful guys at audio tech direct, and extremely impressed, the unit is basically an eight inch screen, android tablet with a dvd player built in. It has Isreal sat nav maps already loaded in, which in all fairness is pretty good, never heard of the app before, but will continue to use it as it shows speed cameras, petrol stations all the usual but its free, I've used another app in the past and they wanted to charge for that. The signal for dab+ and normal radio is excellent, just make sure you get the correct aerial /converter for your specific vehicle. I fitted mine myself, which is an involved job but straightforward for a competent diyer. Saying that I did have a little issue with the wiring setup, as the instructions weren't very in depth, but a quick email to audio tech direct, and a very prompt reply from them set me straight again. This is a very reliable company to deal with, I was considering various eBay products, but glad I stuck with these guys, a little safer knowing you have someone who knows what they are doing and doesn't mind assisting. Overall, an excellent head unit from a decent UK based company
