KroxWay: Inexpensive smart system for cars comes with rear view camera, offline navigation and is an Android tablet

The KroxWay, a kind of modern car radio, is now available as part of a crowdfunding campaign. Technically speaking, it is an tablet based on Android 13. The advantage is that it is not as dependent on a smartphone as devices that only support display transmission or CarPlay. Various apps can be installed locally, such as Google Maps, which also enables offline navigation. A memory card can be inserted for local music playback. However, a smartphone connection (as a hotspot) is required for up-to-date traffic jam information, as there is no cellular modem. Screen monitoring is supported with Android and iOS devices.

An external GPS antenna can be used to ensure a strong GPS signal, which comes with a 1.8 meter long cable. Connection to the actual car radio is possible via Bluetooth or AUX, and an FM transmitter is integrated. A 10.26-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1,600 x 600 is installed. The KroxWay system has an integrated camera and a rear camera to help with parking. Both are Full HD sensors. Electrical power is supplied via USB-C, which can usually be retrofitted even in very old vehicles using an appropriate adapter for an on-board power socket.

Supporters are promised a unit from a price of $199, with delivery scheduled to start in November. Customers should bear in mind the significant financial risks of crowdfunding campaigns as well as possible shipping and import costs.
