Audi Q7 for Radar Detector and Rear Seat Entertainment

This customer came to us interested in a rear seat entertainment system and a radar detector for their Audi Q7. For the rear seat entertainment we installed a Vizualogic system which includes dual headrest monitors, each with their own DVD and Aux port built into the monitor. They also include two pairs of headphones and an FM modulator so you can listen to the DVD player through the radio. These units are made to order for each vehicle and are made to perfectly match the vehicles leather and stitching.
For the radar detector we installed the tried and true Escort Passport 9500ci. We frequently install these in customers cars as they are the best of the best as far as radar detectors go and they include many features other radar detectors do not.

This customer was sent to us from Intersport, a Porsche sales, service, and performance specialty shop in Tyson's Corner. The customers vehicle was in need of an upgraded navigation radio which would include bluetooth, iPod connectivity, and a DVD screen. The Pioneer AVIC-X940BT was the perfect solution for this customers Porsche 996 911.

Porsche Cayman for Pioneer AVIC-X940BT in dash Navigation

Another Pioneer navigation, this time it is the X940BT in a Porsche Cayman.

Other than this the Z140 also includes HD Radio, Nav-traffic, and rear seat entertainment control. The Pioneer X940BT still does most anything a radio can do including AM, FM, CD, DVD, iPod, USB, Aux-in, Bluetooth, and Navigation.
