Gone are the days when you had to stop at every turn on the street and ask locals for direction whenever you went someplace new. GPS feature has made navigation easier than ever. There are some units like Pioneer’s AVIC series that have the built in GPS which allow you to access maps of all the locations and find your position on them. Even if your unit doesn’t have the feature in-built, you can connect your smartphone to the unit and access the maps on the receiver.

How many times does it happen that your car’s rear bumper gets scratched or dented while backing up because the object behind it was not visible? The touchscreen receiver gives you the option to install a rear view camera and view the live feed on the screen of the unit while reversing. It improves the security of your car and keeps your car free from dents and broken tail lights..

Unlike usual radios, a touchscreen receiver is omni-compatible. What this means is that it can connect with an entire range of devices, including smartphones, USBs, and iPhones – giving you a plethora of choices to lift your mood while you drive to your destination..

Another smart feature of a touchscreen receiver is Bluetooth compatibility. By connecting your smartphone with the receiver via Bluetooth, you can easily make and receive calls without having to look away from the road and putting your safety at risk.
These are just some among a myriad of features that make touchscreen receiver a worthy investment. As the technology progresses and the car becomes more and more connected, the functionality and scope of the unit receiver are going to increase as well – making it an essential car feature.
