LONG BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. today unveiled its new 2016 line of in-dash
multimedia DVD receivers
designed for today’s music and
technology-loving consumers. The nine new models, AVH-180DVD, AVH-280BT,
AVH-X1800S, AVH-X2800BS, AVH-X3800BHS, AVH-X4800BS, and AVH-X5800BHS
double-DIN receivers, and AVH-X6800DVD and AVH-X7800BT single-DIN
receivers, offer a range of entertainment and connectivity options
including a new clear resistive touchscreen, advanced Bluetooth®
connectivity with enhanced features like Dual Device Connection and
Music Library Browsing over Bluetooth, Siri® Eyes Free, Spotify® as a
dedicated A/V source, Pandora® with station presets and station

“Today’s consumers want access to their favorite music in the car
combined with the latest connectivity and communications features,” said
Ted Cardenas, vice president of marketing for the Car Electronics
Division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “With the addition of the
extremely popular digital music service Spotify and FLAC file playback
compatibility on our new line of multimedia DVD receivers, Pioneer
continues to expand the music-listening options available to drivers.”

  • BLUETOOTH WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY – The AVH-X2800BS,
    AVH-X3800BHS, AVH-X4800BS, AVH-X5800BHS and AVH-X7800BT feature
    built-in Bluetooth2 wireless capability for convenient
    hands-free calling as well as music streaming with compatible
    Bluetooth enabled devices. The Bluetooth models also feature Bluetooth
    Dual Device Connection for full-time connection of two smartphone
    devices at the same time. The feature enables a call to be picked up
    by either of the paired phones, eliminating the need to pair and
    unpair devices.

    • HFP 1.6 Wideband Speech – Hands Free Profile (HFP) 1.6
      significantly increases the frequency bandwidth dedicated to voice
      calling (now 50Hz – 7kHz) and doubles the sampling frequency (now
      16kHz) to produce significantly better sound quality for wireless
      conversations. Both the caller and call recipient experience
      clearer and more distinct sound.
    • Music Library Browsing over Bluetooth (AVRCP 1.5) – Users can now
      search album content over a wireless connection. iPhone devices
      can use Bluetooth to search through playlists, artists, songs, and
      genres. For Android® smartphones enabled with Media Transfer
      Protocol (MTP), users can browse through media folders via folder
      type. The smartphone device must be compatible with AVRCP 1.4
      profile or newer to access Bluetooth Audio Browsing.
    • SIRI EYES FREE – Pioneer DVD models with Bluetooth enable users
      of iPhone 4s and above to access Siri Eyes Free3 with
      the simple press of a key. Siri Eyes Free allows users to make calls,
      select and play music, hear and compose text messages, get mapping
      information, listen to notifications, listen to calendar information
      and add reminders by voice.

    EXPANDED ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS

    • SPOTIFY (All models except AVH-180DVD and AVH-280BT) – New
      for 2016 is the ability to control content from the Spotify app on
      iPhone and Android devices as a dedicated source on the receivers.
      Listeners can now play, pause and skip tracks using the Pioneer
      controls, and with a few taps, it is just as easy to browse playlists,
      albums and radio stations on the go. Premium4 users enjoy
      ad-free, high quality music that always keeps playing, even when there
      is no connection. Spotify on the new receivers works over Bluetooth
      for Android devices and Bluetooth or USB cable for the iPhone.
    • USB CONNECTIVITY – When connected to an iPhone, iPod,
      portable USB drive or compatible Android device via the USB port,
      users can use basic controls (Play/Pause/FF/Rev/Random/Repeat) and
      display track, artist and album information. Android devices must run
      OS 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or newer with Android Media Transfer
      Protocol.
    • PANDORA STATION CREATION and STATION PRESETS (AVH-1800S,
      AVH-X2800BS, AVH-X3800BHS, AVH-X4800BS, AVH-X5800BHS)

      With station creation on Pandora, listeners can effortlessly explore
      and discover new music using an iPhone (physical USB connection
      required) or Android smartphone. While listening to Pandora on the
      receiver, listeners can create a station based on the currently
      playing artist or track by simply touching a dedicated button on the
      screen. New for the 2016 DVD models, Pandora enables listeners to
      store their personalized stations on six presets for easy access on
      the receiver. Pioneer is the first car aftermarket manufacturer to
      offer this feature.
    • SIRIUSXM® RADIO CONNECTIVITY (AVH-1800S, AVH-X2800BS,

      Vehicle Connect Tuner offers a simple, cost-effective solution for
      adding satellite radio, and Pioneer’s receivers include the Tune
