Pioneer wants to be one of the first to bring Android Auto to users. With the second-generation NEX series in-dash multimedia receivers, they have done just that. The AVIC-8100NEX, AVIC-7100NEX, and AVH-4100NEX all have Android Auto integrated. They are compatible with Android Lollipop devices. The AVIC-8100NEX is the top-of-the-line device at US$1,400 and features a capacitive touchscreen. The AVIC-7100NEX costs $1,200 and has a resistive touch display. Lastly, the AVH-4100NEX is without Pioneer’s on-board navigation software and retails for $700. You can interact with the panel via the 7-inch touchscreen or through Google’s voice command system.
These three new NEX models also still support Apple CarPlay, AppRadio mode, Mirrorlink, and Bluetooth connectivity. The AVIC models even have Here Maps integrated. The new receivers are said to hit the market in March 2015.
