New JBL Car Audio Head Units Launched in India

Harman International Industries Incorporated announced the launch of two new car stereo head units in India, the JBL GT-X333 and JBL GT-X555. The GT-X333 bids adieu to the system of playing CDs, as it does not have a CD player. Instead, you can use a USB stick, SD card, iPod or even a mobile phone to play your music. The GT-X555 has all the features of the GT-X333, but includes the CD player. Both head units also have an inbuilt radio tuner.

The JBL GT-X333 - welcome to the digital age.

‘Customers are paying for technology they don’t use, when they buy a car player with a CD mechanism’ says Sam Kapasi, Brand Director in India. ‘I cannot remember when I last played a CD in my car. Usually people prefer to listen to a USB stick or their iPod on the go. Instead of focusing on redundant technology, the GTX-333 features a great output stage and even features 3 X 4 V line out for further connections to amplifiers and Subwoofers. There is no head unit offering these features at these prices.’
