At CES 2013, Pioneer wants to lead the way, literally. It plans to do this with three new in-dash navigation receivers -- the AVIC-Z150BH, AVIC-X950BH, and AVIC-X850BT. The first two feature a 7-inch touchscreen with HDMI, USB, SD (microSD on the AVIC-X950BH) and component inputs plus DVD playback, "dual zone" capability, Bluetooth, and built-in RDS-TMC traffic and HD radio tuners. There's also 8GB of flash memory and 3D graphics acceleration, AppRadio mode, and SiriusXM support across the range. The AVIC-X850BT, however, is pegged as the more affordable option and as such lacks the HDMI input and HD Radio and comes with a smaller, 6.1-inch (WVGA) screen. All the new units will be available in late March with the AVIC-X850BT costing $800, the AVIC-X950BH $950 or bag yourself the top end AVIC-Z150BH for $1,200. Full PR after the break.
