Here's our weekly roundup of new products CNET reviewers liked best.
1. Pioneer AVIC Z-1
Editors' rating: 8.4
The good: A user-friendly touch-screen interface and a decent voice-recognition system combine with intelligent navigation and Bluetooth to make the AVIC Z-1 a one-stop shop for major cabin tech.
The bad: The need to activate the parking brake to program the navigation is overly cautious, and some delays in start-up and music playback can be frustrating.
The bottom line: The Pioneer AVIC Z-1 is an impressive all-in-one aftermarket head unit incorporating most of today's in-car technology features. Despite a few usability glitches, it is a competitively priced car tech package.
