Pioneer reminds us that the future is here with nine Pandora-enabled head units

With some dark moodlighting and a little bit of chill electronica, Pioneer has unveiled what it believes to be the next step in in-car infotainment, and thank goodness it entails smartphone integration — what the company calls “the ideal personal device.” But, they say that ideal device is less-so in the car, so it’s time for some smarter head units. 9 Pioneer models available in 2011 will be compatible with Pandora , the cheapest costing just $150 — but that’s a catch: they only work with the iPhone . Yes, if you’re among the Apple devotees you’ll be able to stream radio directly through the head unit, with the higher-end units, the AVH-P3300BT, AVH-P4300DVD and AVH-P6300BT, having a large enough display to do album art and song information and whatnot. The AVH-P4300DVD and AVH-P6300BT are top of the line, with 7-inch touchscreens — and MSRPs at $500 and $700. Full details on all the models are in the PR below — or feel free to look at the pretty pictures.
