Blastin' with Pioneer's AVIC-N1

So we were chillin' at Engadget HQ when we heard some mad bumpin'
outside. We went downstairs to check the scene and Pioneer was having a bass-off with Sony. After they cleand up all the glass from the street, we hit Pioneer up for a ride and they showed us the GPS/multimedia system, their in-dash DVD-based system with touch screen, and voice recognition. These things are sold as a package with more screens than you'll know what to do with, which you can use for the standard stuff like playing movies and CDs (no DVD-Audio yet),
and hook up game consoles. It also features a GPS system decked with loads of topographical information that you can program to help find you over 12 million points of interests (like, say, the nearest cheap Chinese food restaurant,
replete with on-screen brand icons), which are all also searchable by name, address and telephone. Click to check out the rest of the pics.

GPS navigation in action.

As you?d expect, you can control everything from the steering wheel.

One screen for the kids, one screen for tailgatin?.

The whole navigation unit folds away when not in use.

Yeah, there are five screens in there.

The system also has performance monitoring sensors and software, which counts G forces, and drag.

Under the back seats near the floorboards you have an AV-input/tuning console.
