The Drive + Play system consists of three main components: a 2.5-inch (diagonal), five-line monochrome display, a small rotary control knob, and a 5-by-2.5-by-1-inch electronics box (the brain) that brings everything together.

The display and control knob assembly come with mounting hardware for permanent installation on your vehicle’s dashboard or centre console, and the electronics enclosure can be mounted under a seat, on the dashboard, or in a glove compartment.

The Harman Kardon Drive + Play can easily be connected to your car stereo by using the 12-volt adapter to bring power to the unit.

You then select the wireless FM method of transmission. The “brain” has a built-in FM transmitter that will tune in to one of five predetermined frequencies to transmit iPod audio through the car radio.

Harman Kardon Drive + Play is distributed in Thailand by Mahajak Development Co Ltd for Bt11,900.
