Speaking of Cyber Navi in Carrozzeria, the pioneer car navigation series is known for many car lovers.Pioneer launched the world's first DVD car navigation "AVIC-D909/AVIC-D707" in 1997, starting with the launch of the world's first commercial GPS car navigation system "Avic-1" in 1990.In 2001, the company launched the AVIC-H09 HDD car navigation system equipped with the industry's first music server function.Since then, he has created products that have various innovative technologies, such as smart loops, road creators, and AR scouter mode.Carrozzeria's car navigation flagship model Cyber Navi has attracted many fans as a car navigation system and a music player.
In October 2019, in October 2019, the first commercial car navigation system is unlimited, and the unlimited use of the Internet connection service "docomo in Car Connect" is new, and it is a new map of maps, playback of YouTube videos, and Wi-Fi spot in the car.It is also a new place to remember that the axle has been gained and attracted a lot of attention.On October 5, 2021, the number of "912 series" cyber navigation series, including the 2021 model "AVIC-CQ912-DC", was announced.Not only the latest map data, but also the recent legal revision of the mandatory auto -light mandatory, to avoid the darkness of the body screen in conjunction with the headlight lighting during bright hours and the visibility is reduced.The "screen brightness switching setting" that can be selected from "time -linked" and "Illumination link" has been added to the situation, and it has evolved steadily every year in line with the times.
Just by the fact that this article is published, the latest “912 series” cyber navigation is lined up at stores such as car supply stores, and it is time to see and check the product.In recent years, what kind of development has been developed before the emergence of new -generation Cyber Navi, which has been a “constant Internet connection” and has the only entertainment in the past.Uh?This time, Toshiya Takahashi, who has been using Cyber Navi in successive cars, visited the pioneer headquarters, and approached the charm of the new generation Cyber Navi through a dialogue with the developer.
Pioneer Mobility Product Company Hiroshi Yamauchi of Pioneer Mobility Company Commercial Business Management Group Product Planning Department Planning 1, and Hiroaki Marketing Division, Pioneer Sales Marketing Division, Hiroaki Muta.
Toshiya Takahashi: Just about two years ago, Cyber Navi, which is said to be online, has debuted.A review article was also posted on CAR Watch, including the first impression immediately after the appearance.
In the article, I introduced the actual experience of the actual experience, such as the fact that it will be connected to the Internet in this way, and what kind of route to choose when running, but since the first presentation, it has been quite a background for development.There was no chance to listen to the 910 series, which was a major turning point in the long history of Cyber Navi.
I would like to tell you the technical background that you decided to introduce an online connection with the 910 series Cyber Navi and the opportunity to develop it.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Speaking of the development of Cyber Navi in the 910 series, it started when I was in the marketing department.Initially, it was a model that was very worried about the direction of the product and specifications.
At the time of the development, the car hydrocolonics industry was still reluctant to pay the car to pay.I think it was an era where there was no idea of applying for a subscription service as it is now.
However, during the development of the 910 series Cyber Navi, NTT DOCOMO invited me to start a new communication service for cars, but why not do it together.That was the "docomo in Car Connect", and the development consideration began with the aim of installing it in the 910 series cyber navigation system in the middle of 2017 before I moved to the project.
Until now, NTT DOCOMO has been doing communication services using communication modules, but it was a level of traffic congestion information in small packets and online search.This is very interesting and attractive as a plan because the service called "docomo in Car Connect", which can use large -capacity communication, can provide customers with completely new value to use communication in the car unlimited.。
However, at that time, the billing of cars was considered difficult as a business model at the time, so we had a lot of discussions until the release of what kind of rates would be supported.
Now you can say "1,000 yen/month, unlimited unlimited ( * 365 days planning 12,000 yen is converted to monthly split)", but before the release, "1,000 yen for products in the car/product in the car.Is it possible to get a month ( * 365 -day plan tax -excluded 12,000 yen is converted to a monthly split)?We received comments from people.In addition, since the service of "docomo in Car Connect" alone was not enough as a function of Cyber Navi, we started various things to develop new functions that can only be realized by communicating in -vehicle aircraft.
First of all, another planner has found a remote viewing technology of a hard disk recorder called "Dixim Play", and from the story of "Mr. Yamauchi, it would be interesting if there was such a solution and it would be interesting."After taking an appointment, the story about development was united, and we decided to install it as one of the cyber navigation communication functions.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: And I wanted to play another video content using the Internet.We considered various things, but finally, there was a proposal from the technology that you can play YouTube with cyber navigation, and we decided to install a function called "streaming video".However, the development decision was made about a year before the release, and it was a very last minute when it could be developed in time for the release.
Finally, when communication can be used, I wanted to incorporate "Automatic Map Update".The current car navigation task is that the map data is old, but I thought that there were many customers who were not used despite the fact that map data could be updated free of charge.Even in Cyber Navi, which comes with a three -year version upgrade, only one in three people has been updated.Because it is a useful function for customers, I wanted to improve the usage rate somehow because of the development of "automatic map updates".
Thanks to you, the usage rate has increased about twice as much as the conventional model since the "automatic map update" was installed.In particular, customers who purchased a network stick bundled model have been upgraded to almost 100 %."Automatic map update" is also a factor that increases the usage rate by simply selecting "yes" in the message "Do you want to update automatically"?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: By introducing this "910 series Cyber Navi" at the end, the service "docomo in Car Connect" itself has been accepted by the market, and "1,000 yen/month ( * 365 -day plan 12,000 yen excluding plan tax is 12,000 yen.If it is converted to monthly per month) ・ It is cheap if it can be used unlimitedly. "At present, I feel that the new user benefits that have brought the communication environment to the car are evaluated by customers.
I myself have a "910 series cyber navigation" on my private car, but my family is also happy with my family.I don't see YouTube, so I choose music CDs and TVs as a source, but when I drive after my family rides, recent trendy songs come out of Youtube.Children sitting in the rear seats have brought in online -compatible game consoles and tablets, and they came to see YouTube, and when they got on the car, some scenes were urged to "start the engine".
It is also important to be surprised by those who rode for the first time.I am proud of the conversation on topics such as "This is amazing, why can you see YouTube?" "Why is this car connected to the Internet?"
Yoaki Muta: When the 910 series Cyber Navi debuted, I was in charge of sales, so I was in a position to sell Cyber Navi.At first, I had a hard time expanding the image of making the car in an online environment.I have been joining the company for 14 to 15 years, but I just remembered when I joined the company.At that time, it was a situation where we would like to spread the new value of smart loops, but Cyber Navi in Carrozzeria has a track record of incorporating new things into the world, and the difficulties of spreading new value are common.It was a thing.
In fact, at the beginning of the introduction of the 910 series cyber navigation, the "-DC-free model" without "-DC" in the model number was more popular at the store.There was no idea to make a car online at the time, and I had a hard time to understand the value.
However, when you actually experience it, it is so attractive that you can not get out of it this time.Now, online content such as YouTube is commonplace, but it is natural that youTube cannot be seen while traveling by car.In -vehicle products were one lap and two laps late from the world, and it was difficult to get out of physical spells such as music CDs and DVDs.However, by making the car in an online environment, you can enjoy the comfort of the Internet environment similar to your home in the car.
Two years have passed since the release of the 910 series Cyber Navi, but I understand that there are so many customers who have not always been able to experience the attractiveness of the Internet connection.In my home, children are in a soccer team, so I often put out cars to practice soccer practice and pick -ups, but after it is known that my car is online."Is there!?" "You can play YouTube even in the car if you get on the car of the Kamuta family."The situation is full.
We are familiar with us on a daily basis and feel that the newness has decreased for two or three years since the release of the 910 series Cyber Navi, but from those who did not know until then.I still have a lot of surprises and excitement of things.I would like to continue activities that will further spread such surprise and excitement.
Toshiya Takahashi: It is a year and a half ago when Mr. Muta came to the sales site, but at a sales floor such as a car supplies store, for example, at that time, he could play YouTube.Was the reaction still slow?
Mr. Hiroaki Muta: Even customers who are watching YouTube on a daily basis have not yet been able to convey the fun in the car, and it was difficult to convey the fun.I guess the place to endure online content in the car was strong.If you enjoy entertainment in the car, you can buy a commercially available DVD or bring a DVD dubbed with a recorder and watch it.The people of the dealers who would be close to us were in such a state, so there is a feeling that it is quite far from being aware of the joy of communication.
Toshiya Takahashi: For example, at a car supply store, tell the customer, "If you have Wi-Fi, you will be connected to online-compatible game consoles" or "The child will be quiet in the rear seats for a while."Did you have a conversation that would return the other party, "Isn't it just a smartphone tethering?"Or was it a world like a car in a car?
Hiroaki Muta: In mobile communication, at that time, services such as "unlimited use of packets" were not so popular, so there were some places where some people could only use data.
Toshiya Takahashi: When the 910 series Cyber Navi has been released, it has become possible to envision a network in the car using Wi-Fi, but it is a bit sad, but it became a corona, and new needs such as telework and remote work.Is out.
Then, the idea of "new normal" came out.Even in me, for example, when I go home with my family or travel a little short with my family, more and more people want to move in a car.When traveling with a family with a family, all-you-can-connect to the Internet with Wi-Fi is a tremendous merit, and even if you move the car at work, you can connect to Wi-Fi via Cyber Navi.
If you are a smartphone, you may be worried about packets depending on the contract, but when you move, you think that cyber navigation, which is unlimited, has a tremendous merit.In that case, was there any reaction from customers or reactions?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: In such a part, online content has spread as the new colon virus has become a problem, and the consciousness of avoiding going out as much as possible at home.The online video distribution service at home shows many times the growth of the previous year, and even if it is a food delivery service, it is a style where you can use the app to enjoy eating.Even if such an online service is rooted, I feel that the car is a bit late.
At that time, we also released "Wi-Fi Router DCT-WR100D for in-vehicle", and there was certainly a response like a rough feeling that you could enjoy various ways in the car from around that.。
Mr. Hiroaki Muta: I think the camp -related market is also growing very much, but the number of business partners is increasing in the camper, so it is not only while traveling in the camper, but also after stopping.I think there is a scene of use.For example, at night, a method of connecting a compact projector to be connected to communication and reflecting video content using the communication environment.Another great advantage is that you can connect to your home recorder and remote playback.
Even if there is no cyber navigation system, you can attach a tuner and antenna to watch BS and CS broadcasts, but you will need an installation space and extra expenses.Conversely, if you can use a communication line with Cyber Navi, you can also deliver BS and CS programs that your home recorder in a stable environment, or watch recorded programs that are recorded and stored.There are some places where such a part is a bit of a track record.
Toshiya Takahashi: In connection with communication, what I really wanted to ask was the relationship with "Smart Loop".I've heard that smart loops have contributed very much on route search and traffic congestion information, but what kind of processing have been performed?I would like to ask all of the data to the server and whether the route analysis is doing on the server or the navigation body if possible (laughs).
Hiroshi Yamauchi: This is the basis of the idea of searching for pioneer routes.When you actually use a pioneer car navigation system, do you feel a little slower than other companies when searching for routes?
Toshiya Takahashi: I haven't felt it so much.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: I'm glad if you can say that, but it is sometimes said that it is not early in the past.For this reason, when the first HDD model was released, the part that could be searched for routes from Tokyo to Fukuoka was appealing.However, since around 2005, the idea of route search has emphasized the quality of route search.As a result, it took about 5 to 10 seconds to finish the six routes, but the route to be guided was very good.
Until then, route search was given priority to "distance", but as a result of emphasis on "route quality", we arrived earlier by predicting traffic congestion not only from VICS information but also from past traffic information.You can now search for routes.Pioneer will ultimately lead to "smart loop traffic congestion information" that car navigation systems can be suggested by considering how many minutes can pass by taking into account road information.
From around 2006, as a telematics service, we began to collect the driving history of pioneer users as a unique probe information.It was in 2007, the following year, began to be offered to users as "smart loop traffic jam information".Since the launch of the "Smart Loop", the route that the pioneer guides has given priority to "time" over "distance" and has begun to choose a very reasonable route.
There was a limit to the fact that traffic congestion information that continued to increase on car navigation aircraft was calculated.This is because the car navigation system, which is a car navigation system, is lower than that of a smartphone equipped with a high -performance CPU.
Therefore, we decided to develop a "Super Let Search" that can be calculated on the server and searched for routes.When searching for the route with a car navigation system, the route is drawn in consideration of the destination, the area around the departure, the road in the middle, the wide -area road, etc., but in "Super Talet Search", "more actually users select.Let's be able to find a reasonable route. "
Toshiya Takahashi: The database seems to be quite huge.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Yes, as is, smart loops are accumulating numbers such as passing time for about 700,000 km nationwide, as they say "all roads compatible", and using data for the past.I try to judge.
Toshiya Takahashi: When I asked you before, when you interviewed you, "Why do you use VICS? Isn't it just a smart loop?"It was an answer.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: That's right."Smart loop traffic jam information" also includes VICS data, so we can't help but use VICS data (laughs).
Currently, we are basically searching for location information and destination information from cyber navigation to servers and analyzing routes on the server side to explore higher quality routes and efficient routes.Before the birth of "Super Let Search", there was no route, such as "going down the toll road after passing the destination".
For example, if you are running on a toll road, you will set a route to go down at the nearest exit, but if you judge that it is faster due to traffic congestion, you will choose that.Conversely, since the information point and the location of the IC (interchange) (interchange), the location and directions such as the direction, etc. can now be explored, so we will avoid searching for routes that use toll roads like so far.The new logic can now be realized by using the server.
Toshiya Takahashi: The server side has the data accumulated in the smart loop, and then linked to VICS, and the calculation starts when it is pushed from the Cyber Navi in -board side, returned it to Cyber Navi.Is it okay to understand that navigation is given to users comprehensively?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: That's right.The server side is doing quite advanced things, determining the map data used by the customer and calculating the route that suits the map data.
In this way, it is from the 2016 model of Cyber Navi that can realize rich and particular route search.
Toshiya Takahashi: I think this is probably conscious, but it's close to human thoughts.It is based on experience and skills that are close to the idea of a skilled driver to some extent, or that it is always traffic jam, so it is absolutely faster to go down at one exit.It is very close to humans.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Yes, we are developing for such search results.
Yoaki Muta: When you actually run in a car, you can still be surprised.All pioneer salespeople use cyber navigation and easy navigation on cars, but sometimes they will guide you on a route that will suddenly be far away.If you follow the guidance while thinking that it is far away, it will actually happen that you will reach your destination without traffic.I think that is because it is a logic that simply thinks not only the price of toll roads, but also the time as a cost.
Toshiya Takahashi: I also experienced many times.It's not a rich man, but it's not money, it's time!
Hiroshi Yamauchi: The idea of cost is now available, but other than the "Super Route Search", for example, the number of traffic lights and the number of turns right and left are considered.After all, turning right takes more time, and if there are many traffic lights, the stop time will increase, so it is based on the idea of avoiding it.As a result, the pioneer route is excellent because the calculation is calculated in consideration of such an invisible part.Conversely, when using a car navigation system made by another company with a rental car, it is often surprising that "I'm going on this way" and "I'm going to guide me like this."
Toshiya Takahashi: As a rival of Cyber Navi, I think there is a simple smartphone navigation app.I think that the selling point as a car navigation system that guides the road is a well -used smartphone navigation and cyber navigation system, even if the cyber navigation has high sound quality or a stationary type, as well as the goodness of a stationary type.mosquito?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: I think it is the quality of the guidance method and route as a car navigation system.The amount of search amount and map update speed is faster for smartphones in honest places, but in order to finally take the driver to the destination, the method of guiding route on the way is car navigation system.I think it is a unique advantage.
The rest is your own vehicle position accuracy.The biggest difference is that the smartphone that is centered on GPS is difficult to get your own vehicle position accuracy.The pioneer car navigation system uses GPS and sensors to enhance your vehicle position accuracy.
Toshiya Takahashi: If you are running in the tunnel around C2 (Metropolitan Expressway Central Loop Line), the smartphone will be out of order, but I feel that Cyber Navi can run properly.
Mr. Yoaki Muta: In addition, since general car navigation system uses a vehicle speed pulse signal, for example, if the tire changes from summer tires to winter tires and the outer diameter of the tire may be different, the position may be shifted.However, Cyber Navi has an automatic detection function in which the gyro sensor detects a change and automatically corrects it.If you change the tires and then drive, you know, "Oh, it's a bit off," but I think it's a great feature because it will be corrected immediately with just a little running.
Toshiya Takahashi: The old Cyber Navi had a switching and reset function when changing tires.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Yes.In the past, it was a mechanism to learn two patterns, winter tires and summer tires, and switched by switching until about 20 years ago, but now it is automatically switched.If the navigation is recognized that the error is different from before, if the tire is replaced, the navigation side will automatically learn, so you do not need to switch yourself.
Mr. Hiroaki Muta: The rest of the car position is "10Hz position" tailored to the use of the car.The smartphone is a low -speed design that should receive radio waves such as GPS according to the speed in which a person walks, but the cyber navigation is a 10Hz position that performs the position of the vehicle position and the screen display 10 times per second, so it is on high speed.There is a difference in the position accuracy of the vehicle, and Cyber Navi does not shift there.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: In an experiment I had done earlier, I tried running with a cyber navigation system removed from the GPS receiver, but the pioneer navigation has excellent gyro sensor performance, so even if there is no GPS.Surprisingly, the route guidance was possible.
Mr. Hiroaki Muta: The position of the vehicle position will definitely decrease, but it also has a "simple hybrid system" that functions when there is no information from the vehicle speed sensor.Since the gyro sensor is excellent, it is a function that continues the route guide using the learned data, so I think this is also a unique part of Carrozzeria.
Toshiya Takahashi: Speaking of online connected, Pioneer also sells in-vehicle Wi-Fi routers, but where is the biggest difference between Cyber Navi Wi-Fi and in-vehicle Wi-Fi router??
Hiroshi Yamauchi: First of all, the difference is that it has a function that can make the most of communication.The Wi-Fi router for in-vehicle was commercialized as a business that would be a business even if only the Wi-Fi function in the car was cut out because of the very good reputation of Cyber Navi's "docomo in Car Connect".
If you want to use only "docomo in Car Connect", you can use a Wi-Fi router for in-vehicle, but I think that the biggest attraction is that Cyber Navi combines elements such as entertainment content and version upgrades unique to Cyber Navi.increase.
Toshiya Takahashi: Watching a streaming video or using a recorder at home is an attractiveness that can not be done immediately even if you buy a Wi-Fi router for in-vehicle.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: That's right.The way to enhance the charm of car navigation system by using communication well is strong as an advantage.
Mr. Hiroaki Muta: The difference from the Wi-Fi router for in-vehicle is that it is a great advantage that you can operate YouTube as it is on this cyber navigation screen.
Other models can also reflect videos mirrored from smartphones on the navigation screen, but if you want to flow a video instead of BGM after running in a car, for example, even the passenger seats will sit on the seat.It is necessary to take out the smartphone, connect it with a car navigation system, and finally operate the smartphone from there.If this is a cyber navigation, even if you are in the driver's seat, you can operate the navigation in a short time when you stop at the traffic light and start playing quickly.
A survey on what kind of content the customer who bought a Wi-Fi router for in-vehicle uses uses a questionnaire that is actually using YouTube.Even so, the most recent trend is that the goodness of cyber navigation systems that can operate navigation directly and enjoy online content is highlighted thanks to the coming Wi-Fi router for in-vehicle.
If it is a cyber navigation system, it can be used in navigation.In total, cyber navigation systems can be proposed, including hard and software, and solutions, as they can use players and make sound well, so in that sense it is an online flagship model.
Toshiya Takahashi: There is no limit on using data, but is there really no limit?Isn't you all -you -can -see for YouTube?Recently, the number of artists who only release new songs on YouTube is increasing, and the latest music market is no longer music CD.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: The number of services with low monthly fees is increasing, but videos consume some packets.For example, if you enjoy YouTube etc. in a car, you will easily use up about 20GB in a month.In addition to the low price, the sense of security is also supported.
When purchasing Cyber Navi, the free period of "docomo in Car Connect" is included for one year, but the continuation rate after the end is very high and is surprising as a pioneer.
At the beginning, we talked about the version upgrade, but not only is it used for the free period, but this is the only customer who wants to keep using it even if he pays 13,200 yen (tax included) even after paying.I think that it is the biggest harvest this time.
Toshiya Takahashi: People who choose and use Cyber Navi may be a car or a cyber navigation lover, but probably the layer that actively uses car navigation systems.That's why the gratitude of data communication is growing, so the willingness to continue is getting higher and higher.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Yes, especially "docomo in Car Connect" is a purchase -type billing system.I am surprised that many users are charged with the intention of continuing, even though they are not automatic continuation like a sub -school.
Toshiya Takahashi: Cyber Navi is from the DVD's "Avic-D909", but people who want to see the content gather where there is a DVD drive, and then become "AVIC-H09" and the HDD song on the HDD.Cyber Navi has been particular about regenerating various content because of the migration from the CD changer, who wants to capture data.I think that the latest cyber navigation has always been converted to Internet connection and online content unlimited viewing, but are you conscious as a manufacturer?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: I wasn't so conscious at the beginning of the development, but as the development progresses, we are considering what we can propose as the next new solution and cyber navigation system, so it is a 910 series Cyber Navi to use communication.Positioned as a concept.Now I feel that various people use it and support new value in the car by incorporating communication.
When the HDD model was released, ripping music CDs became a hot topic, but this time we believe that it is a highly beneficial function for users as lined up at that time.
Toshiya Takahashi: With the history so far, DVD navigation has changed to HDD navigation, and it has evolved significantly, and I think that there were places where it became faster from HDD to SSD, but this time online is a big jump for Cyber Navi.Is it a point?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Yes, I think it's a big turning point.In addition to being able to do so in the car, equipment using communications such as Amazon Fire TV Stick has become widespread, so I think it was good to release it.。
Toshiya Takahashi: I would like to change the story here and ask about the sound.Actually, the other day, I took a demo car with a cyber navigation system with the CAR WATCH staff.First of all, I connected a USB connection with the Walkman that I carry around as a sound source.This can be compared with Nora Jones' albums, high -resolution and normal sound sources.
The demo car was equipped with a custom -fit speaker, but the sound played with cyber navigation was clearly understood the difference between high -resolution and normal sound sources.I immediately felt, "Oh, high -resolution."I'm glad that the display appears on the display.
The sound is clearly different from the standard audio system.Actually, I tried it, but I replaced only the head unit into a cyber navigation system, and the standard -equipped speaker set could be 4 channels, but it is clear that the sound is still different.That's because of Cyber Navi.I would like to ask the secret of why the sound quality is good.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Pioneer has a sound quality standard for each product.The 910 series Cyber Navi is not a so -called "Cyber Navi II Series", but we are developing a high -end class sound quality.
In pioneers, there are people who judge the sound quality of the product, and they are evaluated there.It is also important to be designed to select sound quality parts and board layouts very much even at the development stage.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Regarding the sound quality, the specifications of high -resolution in the Cyber Navi 2017 model and the know -how when developing the "Cyber Navi II Series" are very useful.
The "Cyber Navi II Series" has a better sound quality, but the 910 series Cyber Navi has a much better sound quality when compared with the same regular model.
In addition, the sound quality confirmation at the time of development is very large compared to other models.He was as particular about the top model of the audio system, and the planner also listened to it many times.In the pioneer's audition room, "TAD" (Pioneer's professional audio product brand) is used as a listening speaker to check whether it can sound properly with a built -in amplifier of Cyber Navi.
Toshiya Takahashi: You can't help choosing parts without the experience of cultivating all the time.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: I think this part is the best know -how.Pioneer is an audio manufacturer, so we use the know -how of sound accumulated from the past.In particular, car navigation products, unlike audio products, have a lot of noise sources, so it is difficult to make a beautiful sound, and the technical staff in the sound quality part is working hard.
Yoaki Muta: I like high -end so I've been using cyber navigation.This Cyber Navi has a different sound when it sounds.The really clear sound is very low on the noise floor.As explained from Yamauchi, car navigation has a navigation board, so there is a place where noise is inevitable compared to general audio.
First of all, by dividing the audio board and the navigation board into a two -layer structure, noise is reduced, noise processing there, and the rest is each pattern.The device is to put the condenser in the layout and place the amplifier chip, and if you do not pick up noise depending on the sense of distance and arrangement, there will be a difference.That's exactly the difference created by the know -how, and the accumulation so far has the current cyber navigation system.
Toshiya Takahashi: Is the car audio division and the development of car navigation audio divided?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: It's the same now.However, since there is a technology in a department specializing in sound, the final sound quality is determined based on such people's knowledge and know -how.
Toshiya Takahashi: Are you like a stubborn father?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Well, there is no stubborn father, but after all there are skilled staff and I have knowledge and know -how.
Toshiya Takahashi: I see.Is the acoustic test mentioned earlier in a special room for sound?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Well, there is a listening room at Kawagoe office and we are there.
Mr. Hiroaki Muta: I mentioned earlier that I could understand it at the moment I used it, but there is a clear difference in such a pong state.When I was in business, I didn't know what was different, but I felt that there was no noise, transparent sound or extra.In particular, high -resolution can be heard as noise if there is something a little, but that is not the case.
When I went to a car audio specialty store, there was still a cyber navigation II series, so I thought, "The sound is better in the Cyber Navi II series.""I feel that not only" but also people enjoy various ways of enjoying music.Such people and those who are just one step in front of the super specialty have been evaluated as "the sound quality of cyber navigation is wonderful", and the sales volume at such specialty stores has recently increased.I feel that the evaluation of the site is actually rising, and I think that it can be said that it is the highest car navigation system in the sound quality part.
Toshiya Takahashi: It's not the story of the New Normal, but I've changed to car commuting for almost two years.I sometimes do not go to the office, but my wife is working at the same company and I go every day, so I am scared of a crowded train, so I try to commute to a car every morning.It is.
Among them, when I go to work in the morning, I listen to the sound of the news on TV or play my favorite music, so I think that sound quality is still very important.That's it.
Some of my friends want to challenge deadning, and when I hear the story, about 45 minutes to one and a half hours is time to spend one -way commuting in a car.So, listening to your favorite music, and the environment in the morning is rather luxurious in a sense, so you may not be able to return to train commuting.
In such a situation, I used to experience the sound quality of cyber navigation.It is a genuine car manufacturer because it is a model that cannot be changed now, but in the GR SPORT of "Aqua" in the previous one, I put a cyber navigation system, equipped with a separate speaker and a subwoofer connected by a bain amplifier.Then, both doors were deaded, so I was satisfied with the sound and I was satisfied with it, but there was a good idea that my wife would not evaluate it at all (laughs).Well, if you continue this guchi, it will be a big deal ...
Toshiya Takahashi: By the way, people who will buy Cyber Navi in the future, or are already using cyber navigation, but they are not so particular about the sound, but if you say so much, let's stick to it.Anyway, I just expect one to set up, but I would like to tell you the point of setting it.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: It is difficult to recommend to which level of users, but there are several points.First of all, "Auto Time Alignment & Auto Equipo Riser", which has been installed in Cyber Navi from the past, and "Master Sound Revive" newly developed in the 2017 model of Cyber Navi, and then anyone can reproduce the audio settings adjusted by the manufacturer.There are "Expert Tuning Data for car models".
Hiroshi Yamauchi: First of all, it is a master sound revive, but this is a technology that raises sounds such as CDs and compression sound sources to high -resolution equivalent sound quality just by turning on the settings, so I want you to do it by all means.Next, for vehicles that are subject to "Expert Tuning Data for Vehicle type", it is recommended and certain because you can get the acoustic settings adjusted by the pioneer just by inserting the SD into the main unit.
I mentioned earlier that there is a department specializing in sound quality in the sound quality of Cyber Navi, but the "Expert Tuning Data for Model" is developed in that department.The point is that you tune using a parameter that cannot be set with a normal cyber navigation audio adjustment function, such as driver's seat and all seats.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Finally, the "Auto Time Alignment & Auto Equiko Riser", which has been installed in Cyber Navi for a long time, will be a function that can be easily set by beginners, so I would like you to do this.You can enjoy a better sound than you put on just by making this setting.
Toshiya Takahashi: After that, for example, equalizers, etc., the sound quality can be changed to your liking, but if you like it, you should try it yourself.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Yes, please adjust it as you like.
Toshiya Takahashi: As for the position to set, probably the driver's seat or the middle of the front is the most common.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: To use time alignment, I think it will be set on the driver's seat side.
Toshiya Takahashi: It is very difficult with genuine standard audio, but it is often heard that if you adjust it properly using cyber navigation, you can listen to music and know the position of the vocals and guitar.I can understand the left and right positions, but it is quite good to know this, and it is impressive."I understand properly."However, it is often said that it depends on the sound source.
Yoaki Muta: In that sense, there is no surprising environment where you can listen to music properly.If you can put a speaker at home and get a satisfactory volume, it may be possible for a single house, but I think many people live in an apartment house, and it is difficult to do.Recently, you'll be listening to earphones, but that's a very small sound field, so I listen to it, but I don't understand the depth.
If you think so, if you boil down the settings properly, you can enjoy the depth and where and what is ringing.It's a bit too much to say that there are only cars now, but in that sense, the sound setting of car navigation is important.
Toshiya Takahashi: When driving alone, if it is a highway, it will not bother the surroundings, so increase the volume as much as possible to the extent that the sound does not break in your own space and play your favorite music.I feel that it is very effective in both the music and driving.And if you are at night, be careful about speed (laughs).
By the way, it is a master sound revive, but the cyber navigation system is connected online so that you can enjoy so -called YouTube music, but is the sound quality improved?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: It is effective for TV and FM/AM, Multirecorder, and traffic information.
Toshiya Takahashi: So, you can enjoy the live video on YouTube with good sounds, and you can understand that you can listen to Apple Music, which improves sound quality properly even if you connect the iPhone, right?
In that case, Amazon Music and Spotify are the same, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Hulu, etc. can be used, so you can use all -you -can -use online use, so it is very good for music lovers.Also, recent children are really the YouTube generation.
Yoaki Muta: I have three children, but I've always been watching YouTube.It's so much fun that I can see forever.
Toshiya Takahashi: A child I know has been watching a commentary video of "Minecraft".For example, even if it is 3 hours while returning home to your parents' house, or 4 hours because of traffic jams, the toilet should be careful, but if you can use the Internet in the car, you will be "yourself.If you say "you can bring a tablet" "You can bring an online game console," and then say, "You can watch YouTube on the rear display."Children's measures are perfect.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: I am far away from home, so it takes about 10 hours after leaving my home, but since I have been playing anime using Amazon Fire TV Stick, long -time driving does not hurt at all.Hmm.I'm driving myself, but I'm not looking at the screen, but it's fun to listen to the sound, and it's very good that my family has no spare time.10 hours is about one season of dramas and anime, so last year I enjoyed the way while playing anime that I hadn't seen yet.
Toshiya Takahashi: And when it comes to a world of sound and powerful at that time, in a sense, you can use Cyber Navi to make the inside of the car an amusement space.In addition, the quality of the route guide is high as a car navigation system.
Returning to the beginning, there is a search for Cyber Navi's unique route, and considering that almost 90 % of people think "this route is good", I can not return if I use Cyber Navi once.I think that is supposed to be.I don't think these data is checked very much, but there is no data on the repeater rate, right?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: There is no data, but I think the repeater rate is high.
Toshiya Takahashi: That's right, if the person who uses Cyber Navi says which car navigation will buy next, it's probably a cyber navigation.Are I actually two or three?Did you continue?
Mr. Hiroaki Muta: Thankfully, Cyber Navi users remember the model number of the product that I use with the feeling of "I am XX", and the customer said, "I use Cyber Navi in this model number.I often say that. "From such a place, I feel that there are many users who use Cyber Navi with attachment.
There is no data on the repeat rate at the time of replacement, but some episodes feel that the repeat rate will be high.If you recommend a new cyber navigation for those who use Cyber Navi, if you ask the new part, "I know, it's okay on cyber. Where has it changed?"There are cases where you want to decide on, and I think that the user who is actually using it is high.
There was a little story about navigation earlier, but if you are worried that the navigation performance is low and you can arrive smoothly at your destination, you will not be able to enjoy the enhanced online entertainment and music.I think that Cyber Navi is a product that allows you to enjoy entertainment in the car because you can arrive at your destination with peace of mind due to high navigation performance.
Toshiya Takahashi: The basics are solid, so you can appeal that entertainment is fun in addition to it.
Yoaki Muta: I'm worried that I don't know the way.
Toshiya Takahashi: Probably, sales for those who know Cyber Navi are not so difficult, and it is a form that says, "It's getting better again, it has evolved."I think it is only necessary to introduce a new solution that "Wi-Fi will be unlimited", but when people who have never used Cyber Navi are worried about what to do with car navigation systems.The point is to sell cyber navigation to those who are wondering whether to make it genuine or external, but basically the accuracy of route search, the other is good sound quality, what is the rest?Is it?
Yoaki Muta: For the first time, it is still an online function.It's easy to be a hot topic, or "you can see YouTube in a car" or "The car will be a Wi-Fi spot", but it is very important for people who do not know Cyber Navi to be interested.I think it is effective.However, it is of course necessary to explain that the basic part is navigation performance and good sound quality.And if you actually use it, it will be fun online, of course, but there are many patterns that you will be aware of navigation performance and sound quality that you cannot understand unless you experience it.
However, if you approach the existing users in the same way, you will have a variety of reactions.Even though our side has been appealing navigation performance and sound quality, if you explain the field of completely different online, it is not an allergic reaction, but "No, for me, the navigation performance and sound quality of cyber navigation are important for me.Some people say! "
In fact, we think about it and make a website separately.As a cyber navigation evolution point, the base performance as the base is evolving properly.The operability and screen are better and the sound quality is improved.Of course, it has evolved as a car navigation system, and there are new perspectives such as online.In that sense, it is a separation of new and existing customers.I think another approach is needed.
Toshiya Takahashi: The reason why I said this at the last minute was that I was one of the allergic reactions (laughs).Wi-Fi is certainly easy to understand, and you can see that it is convenient, but existing users have consciousness like "No, the point of Cyber Navi is not there?"
Yoaki Muta: That's right.In fact, existing users have said that they may not take care of the basics.In fact, of course, the basic performance is the same as before, and if the navigation performance and sound quality are not solid, we believe that online entertainment cannot be enjoyed safely and comfortably.
From now on, I would like to continue to propose car life that meets the user needs at that time while holding down the basic performance.
Cyber Navi coverage is always fun.I like cyber navigation, and the story I can hear from developers is always fresh.The car runs and is a Nambo thing, but if you add entertainment to it, it will be even more fun.I am convinced that it is an overwhelming correct answer to be useful for running, and that it is an overwhelming correct answer to be equipped with a cyber navigation system that can leave the center with entertainment inside the car.If you get lost, Cyber Navi is definitely.
