XOVision XOD1742BT

The XOVision XOD1742BT has a 7" touch screen that is motorized to help combat glare.  It includes a digital album viewer, AM/FM radio, DVD player, remote control, input for a backup camera, and a variety of other features.  Unlike other models it also includes ZpodLink, XOVision's feature for providing iPod playback through the car's sound system.  One other nice feature that the XOVision XOD1742BT has is its bluetooth capability for handsfree driving.  This also allows users to listen to music on their phone through the car's stereo system which is an ability not normally found in a in-car multimedia receiver. With a remote control and karaoke functionality this device can make long road trips a little more interesting.
