Pioneer just announced a new in-dash navigation/entertainment system called AVIC-X3. The new device is expected to be released in Europe in September but no info on pricing is available at this moment.

The AVIC-X3 utilizes multiple sensor to get you pinpoint directions; not only it relies on a sensitive GPS receiver, but it also uses a 3D gyroscope as well as your cars speed sensor. This will definitely be of great use in tunnels or big cities where most buildings are high rise and block clear view of the sky.

Other features of AVIC X3 are traffic message channel compatibility, 1.5 million points of interest, and a dual-zone entertainment and communications system which lets the passengers in the back enjoy a DVD while you use it for navigation in the front.

Of course Pioneer AVIC-X3 also has support various media files such as MP3, WMA, AAC, and DivX. You can also easily hook up your iPod too using an optional cable. There are other input options too; so you can even hook up camcorders and gaming consoles. Oh, AVIC-X3 is also bluetooth enabled so you can control your phone hands free are use it to stream music.
