CES 2012: Pioneer’s Next Gen AppRadio Expands Compatibility

By

With an 800 x 480 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, Bluetooth built-in for safely making/accepting hands-free phone calls, input for rear facing back-up camera (optional), and even an input to interface with the vehicle’s steering wheel controls, the Pioneer AppRadio 2 is poised to offer almost every feature one could need to travel in style – musically. The Pioneer AppRadio 2 has expanded compatibility over the original AppRadio to now include the latest Android smartphones. There probably is not a more convenient way to integrate your smartphone’s apps and functionality into your vehicle. Pioneer’s AppRadio 2 is expected to go on sale in April for $499, while the original AppRadio will continue to be sold at $399.

Pioneer AppRadio 2

Pioneers AppRadio 2 features a clean and simple aesthetic with minimal physical buttons, as the majority of the functions and controls are operated via the high resolution WVGA (800 x 480) 7-inch capacitive touchscreen. This capacitive touch panel is used for all functions including the app interface, music control/playback, AM/FM radio, and Bluetooth hands-free calling features.
