/Consumer Research News Articles/ - May 31, 2008 - Sonic Electronix has announced the addition of the highly anticipated Pioneer AVIC-F series GPS navigation systems to their inventory. Exact timeframe and date of when the AVIC-F units will begin shipping is unknown at this point, nonetheless Sonic Electronix has plans to begin an aggressive marketing campaign to promote the new in-dash and portable AVIC-F systems.
"Customers love Pioneer products because Pioneer does a superior job with integrating their products into any vehicle," Product Information Specialist Armand Jusuf commented on Monday.
"Customers who love mobile electronics love their cars. The worse thing any manufacturer could do is make seamless integration impossible by making products that stand out too much—giving off that un-natural look in the vehicle. This is definitely not the case with Pioneer's upcoming AVIC-F products."
With Pioneer's four upcoming releases, customers will certainly be able to find ways to integrate the highly coveted GPS navigation into any vehicle. The AVIC-F500BT is a portable GPS navigation unit (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/cat_i322_portable-gps---navigation.html) that could easily be mounted on any dashboard or windshield while all three AVIC-F700BT, AVIC-F900BT, and the AVIC-F90BT are in-dash navigation units. The AVIC-F Series is the next generation after the highly successful Pioneer AVIC-D Series which debuted over 4 years ago. Just like the AVIC-D3, the AVIC-F series will have 32,768 user customizable colors, giving consumers the ability to match the unit's color to virtually any color they wish, which is an incredibly helpful feature to anyone desiring to have a completely integrated look. In addition, all four AVIC-F products will feature a 5.8" LCD touchscreen with attractive interface and stylish front panel designs.
The Pioneer AVIC-F products will also have some new features, previously unheard of even in high-quality top-tier products. The navigation interface is modernized and the map images are redesigned, giving the units a very high-tech look. The map data is now built-in to the internal memory of the AVIC-F units instead of the previous, DVD-loaded AVIC-D models. The AVIC-F units will also feature a highly adaptive and intelligent voice command function that could detect human conversational fill-in words such as "Um" or "Uhh" and could even ask questions back to the user. In the case where a user would like to use the built-in Bluetooth hands-free technology to dial a phonebook entry where there is more than one number for an entry, the voice command system will converse with the user to confirm which number he or she would like to call; however, the voice command is not limited to only phone-call commands, but could also be use command playback controls of audio functions.
There is also built-in Bluetooth featured in each of the AVIC-F models without any additional accessories and could even receive iPod / iPod Video sources. The AVIC-F90BT in-dash navigation and the AVIC-F500BT portable GPS device will be able to receive MSN Direct information, which displays local weather, traffic, and even movie times. The AVIC-F90BT is the Premier branded unit, with high-voltage preamp outputs and a 2-year warranty. Both the AVIC-F90BT and the non-Premier branded AVIC-F900BT is capable of DVD video playback with DivX support, however the lower-priced AVIC-F700BT does not support DVD video playback. All AVIC-F in-dash navigation units could also receive Sirius or XM Satellite sources as well as the increasingly popular HD Radio.
Sonic Electronix customers will be able to pre-order any of the Pioneer AVIC-F products and its accompanying accessories, but should not expect the products to ship until mid-June. The Pioneer AVIC-F units will be sold on a "first-come, first-served" basis and customers are encouraged to take advantage of ordering early so to speed the ordering process.
The incredibly popular Pioneer AVIC-D3 was one of Sonic Electronix's best selling products for the last two years. However, many customers have reported the inconveniences of having to order additional accessories in order to have Bluetooth or iPod functions with the AVIC-D3. Lucas Lazore, Sales Manager of Sonic Electronix commented, "It will be much more convenient for customers to simply order one product instead purchasing additional accessories in order to have popular features like Bluetooth connectivity and iPod direct connection."
"AVIC-F units will definitely simplify the ordering process and customers will at least have iPod and Bluetooth functions in the AVIC-F units without additional purchases. The addition of the Pioneer AVIC-F series will definitely reflect a positive spike in sales this year. Customers will certainly enjoy the benefits of purchasing an AVIC-F unit," said Lazore.
