VDO Dayton adds black spot warnings for its sat navs

VDO is the first on-board navigation system to offer an optional accident black spot and fixed camera information service at less than £15 a year. As a special offer, the first year is free to all drivers buying one of the latest range of sat nav systems before 2005. Prices start from as little as £599.99 for a monochrome in-dash unit.

As a speedcam/black spot location is approached, a safety warning display appears on the screen within 300 metres in open road conditions. It features a large speed limit figure with a red background to alert the driver to the legal maximum allowed in the immediate area. It displays the speed limit of the road and gives an audible alert chime*.

• The traffic black spot warnings are only a small part of VDO Dayton’s list of services available from their DVDs and CDs with C-IQ – Intelligent Content on Demand. The user can pick and choose from a number of different packages, only paying for what is required, including:
  
• Flexible mapping purchase for one day, month or year for more than 20 countries
  
• Traffic Message Channel information
  
• Shopping guides
  
• Dun & Bradstreet Business Directory
  
• Fast food finder
  
• Touring guide packages.

Activation of all the C-IQ services is easy. It can be done via the internet, by telephoning the C-IQ Service Centre, or directly through a dealer.

Another unique service with C-IQ from VDO Dayton is if a DVD/CD map becomes damaged, a free of charge replacement can be provided.

* VDO Dayton point out that all the information provided to the user is always secondary to the responsibility of the driver to observe all road usage regulations.
