Pioneer AVIC-U310BT
$500.00
Released June, 2009
The Pros:Easy to use, good user interface. Soft buttons on screens improves user experience over many other stereos. Great iPod features for compressed sound restoration, and on the fly shuffle by artist or album. Detachable face very handy for planning trips with GPS and Navigation outside car.
The Cons:Software is Windows only and feels gimmicky, it lacks utility. Comes with limited number of Navigation" points of interest". 400 thousand rather than the 12 million available for other AVIC systems. Restaurants have been completely omitted. The POI's can be upgraded for $100.00 which degrades it's status as a bargain. Defaults to Navigation view (or mode) every time you start car. Would be nice if it remember the mode it was left in.
The AVIC-U310BT is a mid-range, in-dash GPS navigation receiver, and one of two in Pioneer's lineup available for under $500. The U310BT adds some functionality to the entry-level model, the F500BT, including a CD player and better iPod/iPhone integration with an optional cable, as touch-screen controls enable sorting by artist, album, genre, and playlist.
