Alpine eX-10

Do you find it cumbersome or troublesome to access your iPod library in the car? Well, not anymore with the latest gadget from Alpine. The eX-10 comes with a full-color LCD display and a wireless remote control to make it easier for you to choose your favorite song from your collection of songs stored in iPod. The easily installed device is powered by your cars 12V cigarette lighter. When a song is selected, the audio is sent to your cars stereo via either the built-in FM transmitter or while directly connected to the stereo via an auxiliary-input jack. The eX-10 also features built-in hands free calling using Bluetooth and allows for users to access their address book and recent call activity. The eX-10 is expected to be available at the end of January 2008 and retail for $230.

Alpine releases info on new PND-K3, PND-K3msn GPS units

Alpine PND-K3

Alpine recently released their 2008 catalog and it looks like they are planning 2 new GPS models. Both are almost the same except for one main difference, the K3msn has MSN Direct, hence the ‘msn’ in the product name, and the other doesn’t. MSN Direct offers up-to-date traffic, weather, gas price information and movie showtimes. Otherwise, they both have identical features, which are as follows:

  • 4.3-inch wide high resolution touchscreen
  • Pre-loaded maps of USA & Canada (including Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico & Virgin Islands)
  • Fast routing and map zooming
  • 6 million POIs with selectable map icons
  • Auto map zoom
  • Multi-language menus and voice guide
  • Customizable map and menu colors
  • Animated menus
  • Easy to use windshield and dashboard mount
  • Built-in SD card slot and speaker for use with music player
  • Announces street names during guidance
  • Built-in Bluetooth for convenient hands-free calling

As you can tell, both of these GPS units look to be jam packed with nice features. As long as they aren’t too expensive, they should sell well. Unfortunately, there is no word on pricing or availability as of yet, but hopefully, some more information will be released when CES rolls around.
