Modern car head units are no longer just radios. Most now come equipped with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and even 4G/5G connectivity. In Indonesia, any head unit with wireless features must obtain a certification from SDPPI/DJID, issued by the Ministry of Communication and Digital (KOMDIGI).
What is SDPPI Postel (DJID) Certification?
This certification is issued by the Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure (DJID)—previously known as SDPPI. It ensures that all wireless-capable telecommunication devices, including automotive head units, comply with Indonesian national technical standards.
Why Do Automotive Head Units Need Certification?
Because these devices transmit radio signals, they are classified as telecommunication equipment. This means they must be certified under SDPPI Postel (DJID) regulations before being imported, distributed, or sold legally in Indonesia.
What is an Automotive Head Unit?
An automotive head unit (or car infotainment system) is the central control system in a vehicle that offers entertainment, communication, and navigation features, such as:
- Media Playback: AM/FM radio, CDs, DVDs, USB, Bluetooth streaming
- Navigation System: Built-in maps and turn-by-turn navigation
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, smartphone integration
- Touchscreen Interface: Easy control of all features
- Voice Command Support: Hands-free operation for safer driving
