Remember the [Clarion Malaysia IVI][3] that was teased back in December? The company's just unveiled the finished product, which you can call _Mr._ Clarion Mirage. The Android-running car stereo, head unit, erm, _In-Vehicle Infotainment system_ is a hefty Double DIN unit, with a 6.5-inch display up front and plenty of tech packed inside. Intel's embedded systems division [Wind River][4] supplied the customized version of [Froyo][5], [Navigon][6] offered up a navigation engine and industrial designers [Plextex][7] helped design the hardware. The Clarion Mirage as USB and AV-out ports, an SD card slot and is designed to be as flexible as a smartphone: capable of playing back music and video, running apps from [Google Play][8] or working as a display repeater with [consoles][9]. There's no official word on pricing or availability, but the scuttlebutt says it'll arrive in Q4 of this year. We've reached out and will update if we learn more.
