Pioneer Continues Its Legacy of Smartphone Integration with the SPH-10BT Pioneer Smart Sync In-Dash ReceiverCES (News - Alert) - Booth #3902 - Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. today introduced the SPH-10BT, a single-DIN in-dash digital media receiver designed for seamless connectivity and in-vehicle entertainment. With direct access buttons to initiate specific functions or commands, synchronized illumination and compatibility with Pioneer Smart Sync, the SPH-10BT represents Pioneer's continued efforts to integrate the power and features of the smartphone into automotive aftermarket products. The SPH-10BT also includes a built-in, rotatable smartphone cradle, a first for Pioneer, designed to provide a secure mounting solution1 and fully integrate the smartphone with the in-dash receiver. Once placed in this cradle, the user's smartphone becomes visually combined with the SPH-10BT, revolutionizing the user experience. Pioneer Smart Sync transforms compatible iPhone (News - Alert)® or Android® smartphones into a high-resolution LCD in-dash display for Pioneer Smart Sync driving functions when paired with select Bluetooth®-enabled Pioneer audio and digital media receivers, including the SPH-10BT. This powerful combination provides both a larger display for the user interface and touch control for simpler and more intuitive control of the in-dash receiver. "The single-DIN chassis size is almost universal, with the ability to be installed in both older and newer vehicles. However, given its compact size, a single-DIN receiver often lacks a large touchscreen or the ability to integrate well with the smartphone," said Ted Cardenas, vice president of marketing for Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "The SPH-10BT offers a very unique solution by integrating the smartphone both electronically and physically." The SPH-10BT is also compatible with Pioneer's ND-PS1 rear parking sensors. When connected with the sensors installed in the rear vehicle bumper2, the SPH-10BT provides audible object warnings and visual indicators on both the in-dash receiver and the Pioneer Smart Sync app. KEY FEATURES Hardware:

The SPH-10BT will be available in February with a suggested price of $150.
1 Before driving, ensure that the smartphone is mounted
securely so it does not separate from the mounting device during a
sudden stop. Do not use the built-in holder if it is difficult to
securely attach your smartphone or if bad road conditions could cause
the smartphone to separate or fall. Warning: Read the operation manual as well as all instructions and cautions before use. Pay attention to the road, limit glances to the device, and do not use any feature if it cannot be operated both safely and legally in your location and environment. Distracted driving may result in serious injury, including death. For more product information, visit- pioneerelectronics.com/car. For more information follow us on:
