The folks at Pioneer continued the tradition of the heralded AVIC car audio lineup with the AVIC-Z130BT, and this unit packs some real cool features, not to mention good solid performance!

The AVIC-Z130BT comes with standard features, including a 7 inch WVGA Touchscreen display, full on-board NAV, DVD player, iPod control and Bluetooth Wireless. In addition, new features include Pandora Internet Radio capability and HD Radio. On the Navigation side, the AVIC-Z130BT features lane guidance that can direct you to the right lane particularly when you will be heading towards busy intersections. It also has intelligent re-routing options which come in handy if you get lost during your travels. Navigation can be utilized in either 2-D or 3-D mode and displays major landmarks, making navigating smooth and easy.

A few months back, I wrote about the DSM200 SmartStart Interface from Directed and found this to be a real nice addition to anyone wanting to add an extra level of security and control to their high-end car security system. Well, the folks at Directed have come up with something even more cool!

Directed now offers the DSM250 SmartStart GPS, which provides all the conveniences associated with the DSM200 but adds the added functionality of GPS tracking and control. This interface now includes GPS features such as GPS Fencing, SmartPark and even Speed Monitoring- making this interface a great addition. Let’s go over these great new features.

For those of you in search of a great high-performance car deck, look no further than the KDCX995 from Kenwood’s Excelon division. Following the success of last year’s KDCX994, the KDCX995 brings some great new features to an already popular lineup of functions- alongside the 2 year parts and labor warranty standard with every Kenwood Excelon product.
