Caska and Planet Electronics

Every now and again a company releases a product which makes a difference to your life. Apple released the Ipod, Microsoft released Excel, Rockford released....well Rockford. 12 Years ago a dynamic and progressive technology company started work on a product that would change in-vehicle entertainment and accessories forever. Finally it is available in SA!

Planet Electronics has officially been appointed as the African distributer for CASKA, The leading in-vehicle entertainment manufacturer in the world. You may be saying to yourself, CASKA....WHO? If you have driven a Toyota, VW, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda, Mazda or Ford anywhere outside of Africa before, you probably have used their products without even knowing it.

They supply on an OEM level to most manufacturers in more than 18 countries and currently perform through the line manufacturing for American based companies like Rosen (bet you’ve heard of them).

The new radio is a DVD player which play CD, CD-R, MP3, MP4, Divex, it is a full touch screen navigation system with the latest most advanced Garmap mapping, it is a full handsfree Bluetooth kit, It offers full I-pod integration allowing you to control your I-pod from the touch screen, it has a built in virtual CD shuttle, It can operate SD cards and USB and is completely plug and play reducing installation time to 30mins. Thought it wasn’t possible, well guess again, CASKA IS HERE!

Oh wait, there’s more. The CASKA products also offer optional extras including a reverse camera, fully integrated Park distance control kit and even TPMS (Tyre pressure monitoring system) for all the 4 x 4 fanatics.
