Pioneer announced 8 new in-dash CD receivers for part of its 2014 lineup.
They include new Android control via a USB connection, Siri Eyes Free for iPhone, and simplified Bluetooth pairing.
Pioneer now supports a USB connection to the radio for Android phones as well as iPhones and USB drives. The Android phone can now be controlled by the radio for basic functions such as play/pause, FF/Rew/random/repeat via a USB cable. It also allows a display of song/artist/album and time info.
