Pioneer has come out with another All-In-One in dash car stereo. The unit features a built in GPS System, voice command interface, Touch Screen, customizable touch screen menu, and other assimilation with compatible devices. The AVIC-Z110BT offers connectivity for MP3 players, iPods, iPhones, SD cards, and compatible phones ,Bluetooth and USB devices.
I am probably not doing it justice, but this sounds like a pretty extravagant device.
And if you want it, be prepared for its hefty price tag. The lowest price I am seeing for it right now is $1,156.30 on Amazon.com. DVD playback is cool, but I am still not a fan of having DVD players in cars that are visible to the driver. I would rather have them focus on the road. But I guess any screens can be a distraction, even if someone is just navigating the menus.
From the reviews I’ve read installing the device can be tricky, if you want to hook up all of the features. You have to install a microphone near the driver to use the voice command system. And I guess to solve my DVD complaint; the video function only comes on when the brake sensor is hit. So you must connect the stereo to those sensors in your car, which cause extra work than just plugging in the usual antenna and power cables. To get any signal with the GPS, you must keep the antenna mounted in areas with clear line of sight to the sky. If you want more information, check out the Pioneer website.
