Sat nav offers multimedia experience
02 Aug 2007
Motorists wanting to find their way and entertain their passengers en route could benefit from the new AVIC-X3 from Pioneer.
The system acts as a satellite navigation system, offering drivers accurate directions to a given destination and helping them avoid traffic jams.
Users will even be able to find local hotels, petrol stations, restaurants and even parking spaces with the device, courtesy of its multi-sensor navigator.
However, the AVIC-X3 also has other functions, doubling up as a versatile in-car entertainment system.
As well as listening to music including MP3 files, passengers in the car will be able to view DVDs, making it a great innovation for parents taking restless children on long drives.
DVDs would be viewed on optional monitors placed in front of the back seats, allowing passengers to view films while the satnav can still direct the designated driver.
The device is also compatible with other gadgets, such as iPods, camcorders and games consoles.
