(3)
1.
A multifunctional apparatus (so-called ‘multimedia centre for motor vehicles’) of a kind used in motor vehicles, consisting of two main components:
—
a reception apparatus for radio-broadcasting combined with a CD/DVD player,
—
a detachable colour liquid crystal display (LCD) of the touch screen type with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 17,5 cm (7 inches) and an aspect ratio of 16:9.
The apparatus is equipped with connectors enabling the reception of video signals from external sources such as a rear-view camera.
The apparatus is presented with a remote control.
An additional display can be connected to the apparatus.
8528 59 40
Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528 , 8528 59 and 8528 59 40 .
The apparatus consists of components capable of performing various functions (sound reproduction, video reproduction, radio-broadcasting, displaying video), none of which, in view of its design and concept, gives the apparatus its essential character.
By application of GIR 3(c), the apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 40 as other colour monitors with a screen of the LCD technology.
2.
A multifunctional apparatus (so-called ‘multimedia centre for motor vehicles’) of a kind used in motor vehicles measuring approximately 17 × 5 × 16 cm.
It combines, in the same housing, a reception apparatus for radio-broadcasting, a sound and a video reproducing apparatus and a colour liquid crystal display (LCD) with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 8 cm (3,5 inches).
The apparatus is equipped with connectors enabling the reception of video signals from external sources such as a rear-view camera.
The apparatus can also reproduce sound and images from a USB memory stick.
The apparatus is presented with a remote control.
An additional display can be connected to the apparatus.
8528 59 40
Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528 , 8528 59 and 8528 59 40 .

3.
A multifunctional apparatus (so-called ‘multimedia centre for motor vehicles’) of a kind used in motor vehicles.
It combines, in the same housing, a reception apparatus for radio-broadcasting, a sound and a video reproducing apparatus, a radio navigational apparatus and a colour liquid crystal display (LCD) with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 18 cm (7 inches) and an aspect ratio of 16:9.
The apparatus is equipped with connectors enabling the reception of video signals from external sources such as a rear-view camera or a DVB-T tuner.
The apparatus can also reproduce sound and images from a memory card.
The apparatus is presented with two remote controls.
An additional display can be connected to the apparatus.
8528 59 40
Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528 , 8528 59 and 8528 59 40 .
The apparatus consists of components capable of performing various functions (sound reproduction, video reproduction, radio navigational aid, radio-broadcasting, displaying video), none of which, in view of its design and concept, gives the apparatus its essential character.
By application of GIR 3(c), the apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 40 as other colour monitors with a screen of the LCD technology.
