The busy modern driver can reap a lot of benefits from the conveniences from upgraded technology in their car. Saving energy and mental space by having Bluetooth connectivity and getting the peace of mind from an on-board navigation system are amenities that are more commonly expected in vehicles today.
For those ready to make the leap to the next level of luxuries that set you ahead of the pack, here are some of the best in-dash navigation systems.
Kenwood DDX24BT
The Kenwood DDX24BT offers many of the same features included in a receiver that will run you more than twice the price. Though the 6.2-inch touchscreen isn’t as flashy as some of the bigger models, this modest interface still delivers great features like DVD output, a 200-watt 4-channel amp that can power most speakers, and Bluetooth that’s compatible with Android and iOS devices. At just over $200, this receiver is a bargain.
Alpine INE-W960
This receiver also has a conservative screen at 6.1 inches, but it makes a big leap in audio quality and plugs you in to satellite radio. Featuring a SiriusXM SXV300 Satellite radio tuner, you’ll get an inclusive 3-month free subscription to try it out. You can customize sonic attributes to tailor this stereo to your preferences and speaker capabilities. The price tag is around $700, but you get some top of the line features.
Kenwood DNX574S
This Kenwood receiver is i0S and Android friendly and pairs simultaneously with multiple users while getting a boost in screen size at 6.8 inches. Navigation by Garmin makes this a reliable source of directions, and you get extra vision with two possible cameras — including a dash cam. With next level audio features like Kenwood’s Drive EQ which compensates for road noises, this is an excellent package at $650.
Alpine INE-W957HD
Boasting reliable navigation with 3-D high-resolution maps on a 7-inch LED screen, the Alpine INE-W957HD has some of the most polished features. Bluetooth, streaming, and enhanced features earn this top-of-the-line receiver a nomination at $1,500.
Alpine X009-WRA
For the Jeep Wrangler, this restyle system is the ultimate upgrade. A monster 9-inch dual screen, retained factory controls, Bluetooth, customizable shortcuts and optimized sound settings make for an unbeatable final touch to your truck — which you can find for about $3,500.
