Overview
The company "Pioneer" releaseda lot of great models of devices. The Pioneer Avic HD3 radio tape recorder is no exception, which is intended for use in the CIS countries, since the entire menu is Russified. It is suitable for family trips, children can be occupied with watching movies and cartoons from any type of media.
Since the kit includes an external microphone, it can be used together with a "Bluetooth" connection, using the radio as a hands-free device. You can also enable voice control, which works here with minor flaws. The disadvantage of this function for residents of Russia is that voice control is performed in English. Commands recorded during production must be spoken for the user's voice to be recognized and remembered by the system.
When driving, the radio displays navigation, media player, movie, video or vehicle readings, including speedometer, tachometer, and range.
Thanks to the "Bluetooth" module, the radio can be used as a telephone. Contacts from the device can be transferred to the memory of the radio, set a command to dial a specific number or subscriber, thereby making life easier for the motorist and making it safer, since the driver is not distracted by third-party things.
Installing the Pioneer Avic HF3 is not as easy as it sounds. Therefore, the installation should be entrusted to a specialist.
Included with the radio is a GPS-antenna, which by its very appearance hints at the presence of a navigation system in the radio. So it is, but a detailed description in the radio cardsavailable only for the two largest cities in the country. But do not be upset, because map updates are very often released, which can be installed using any media, including USB.
When driving along a route, the navigation system shows the speed of travel, the angle of the vehicle, the cardinal direction in which the vehicle is moving, and so on.
The route can be built both from one point to another, and by stopping at any places between these waypoints. Search for route planning is available in many options, for example: by address, by organizations (theaters, clubs, restaurants, banks, and so on). There is also a search by city index.
Also, when moving along the route, the voice assistant will notify you of the upcoming maneuver, speed limit, for a certain number of meters. If the driver left the laid route, then the system will switch to the nearest path and continue driving. The voice assistant is more of a nice feature than a useful one. Indeed, when driving on a multi-lane street when turning or turning around, the voice assistant will not help much - it is better to look at the monitor screen so that it becomes clear what maneuver to perform at the moment.
The traffic display function is being developed by Pioneer and is not yet available in any version. But the system can build a route based on road conditions, their standard congestion. It can build the fastest route, shortest distance, highway route, no toll route, and so on.
There isversion of the Pioneer Avic HF3 2 radio, which has more advanced technical specifications and functions arising from them.
The Pioneer Avic HD3 is priced at least 61,000 rubles, which translates to $900.
