Sony just introduced two new in-dash A/V centers featuring some of the brightest and sharpest displays in market and a pair of new head units, including Sony’s first to offer HD Radio integration.

On the audio front, the new XAV-70BT model features multi-channel playback with Center Speaker Organizer (CSO), creating virtual 5.1 channel surround sound throughout the car. The high-end A/V center also features Sony’s unique SensMe™ music software, which utilizes 12-tone analysis technology to create custom music playlists and personal radio channels from a connected music library. Additionally, the Advanced Sound Engine (ASE) combines several of Sony’s modern audio technologies to provide incredible sound environment for control.

The XAV-70BT also has a rear USB input for simple connection to iPod, iPhone and other digital media player, and has fully functional Bluetooth technology built-in, allowing for hands-free calling and wireless music streaming.
