Advanced App Mode Supported Receivers Now Available For Purchase

Pioneer's AVIC-Z140BH supports advanced app mode and is now available for purchase

With the exception of AppRadio 2, all the other CES 2012-promised Advanced App Mode supported receivers are now available for purchase from Pioneer Electronics. A trip over to Pioneer's website reveals the following models to have a "Buy Now" button on their description pages:


2012 GPS Navigation Units
# AVIC-Z140BH Priced at $1,499
# AVIC-X940BT Priced at $999

2012 DVD Receivers
# AVH-P8400BH Priced at $779

AppRadio
# SPH-DA01 Priced at $399 (Available for purchase since June 2011)

The prices mentioned above are also listed on Pioneer's website. Lower prices maybe available elsewhere. For example, I found a brand new AVH-P8400BH for sale on eBay for $639. So if you're interested in one of these models, I'd suggest surfing around the web to find the lowest prices or maybe even checking out your local car stereo shop.

The 2012 GPS and DVD line of receivers mentioned above have gone on sale just this week. But where is AppRadio 2? Sources have mentioned that it's in the final Quality Check phase and will be released this coming week. We might just see the second generation device in the wild before this month ends.
