Pioneer AVIC-Z3
Pioneer’s new AVIC-Z3 has it all DVDs, in-dash navigation, and the convenience of advanced voice control with Pioneer’s AVIC-Z3 navigation receiver. This double-sized receiver sports not only a DVD/CD drive, but also a 30 GB hard drive that holds all navigation maps and information, plus up to 10 GB of music onboard. The combination of a 7″ touchscreen controls and voice command features gives you total control over this complete multimedia center.
Superior navigation
The navigation system features multiple display modes, including map, 3D, and driver’s view modes. A split screen option makes it easy to see upcoming turns, while giving you the big picture for directions down the road. Precise geocoding and Point Addressing provide extremely accurate locations when you’re trying to find a single address. The navigation system records frequently traveled roads so it’ll take your preferences into account when providing instructions.
XM NavTraffic
Add a compatible XM NavTraffic radio and subscribe to XM’s innovative NavTraffic service. You’ll receive continuously updated traffic information, including traffic accident alerts, road closure info, and the average speed of traffic on the roads along your planned route. You can prepare for traffic snags well in advance, and adjust your route accordingly. NavTraffic is currently available in most major metropolitan areas.
Music and multimedia
This versatile receiver reserves up to 10 gigabytes of the hard drive’s memory to store the music it rips from your standard CDs. The preloaded Gracenotes® software will even display the disc, artist, and track names for most CDs. It’s like having a virtual jukebox of up to 200 discs, ready whenever you get in the car.
For a multimedia fix, use the 7″ screen to watch your favorite DVD videos while you’re parked. Connect a rear-seat video screen and wireless headphones, and the folks in back can keep watching while you’re on the road. “Tri-Zone” capability means you can listen to the radio or another source up front, play a movie in back, and the AVIC-Z3 will continue navigating. Add an optional rear-view camera and you’ll have a clear view behind your vehicle when backing up — providing a nice measure of safety in driveways or crowded parking lots.
System expansion
Add an optional iPod® adapter to play your iPod through the AVIC-Z3, and control it using the touchscreen. Add a satellite radio tuner for even more variety in your entertainment. If you have a Bluetooth cell phone, Pioneer’s optional Bluetooth cell phone adapter lets you make and receive phone calls without taking your eyes off the road to dial.
Note: If you’re going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check “Hands-on Research” for the iPod adapter for specific iPod model compatibility.
