Pioneer AVIC F70DAB

Overall Auto Express rating

5.0

Best price: £673.49 Type: Double DIN

We crowned this Pioneer system our Product of the Year 2015 mainly for its innovation in bringing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration to the aftermarket. But its long list of features also includes DAB, with stations easy to select and adjust on the seven-inch touchscreen.

So if you can swallow that huge price tag, it’s still the stand-out choice for buyers in the market for a double-height (2-DIN) stereo upgrade. Installation is surprisingly easy for such a high-spec system, and the spec sheet also includes voice control and navigation, all of which is neatly integrated and beautifully designed.
