Pioneer AppRadio 2

Android users usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to in-car infotainment. "Just stick with Bluetooth or an auxiliary connection," they're told. Pioneer aims to change that with the launch of its AppRadio 2. Hoping to recreate the buzz generated by the first generation AppRadio's integration with a selection of iPhone apps, AppRadio 2 allows certain Android apps to take advantage of its massive 7-inch touch screen.

The AppRadio 2 will retail for $499 when it hits the market in April. Additionally, the original AppRadio will continue to be sold alongside the new unit with updated software for 2012, but without the new Android phone support, for the same $399 MSRP.
