Panasonic has launched their Strada CN-HX1000D and CN-HW1000D in-car navigation systems for the Japan market, and both of them are basically the same units save for the different sizes. What makes that in-car unit different from all the rest is the ability to control segments of your home from the car itself. Take for example, the ability to turn off the lights, control air conditioning and even recording your favorite TV programs lengthy before you have arrived home, all from the

touch sensitive screen. that is made possible by a partnership with Softbank, DoCoMo and Au with a Bluetooth-enabled handset. Other features include :-

• GPS navigation
• DVD/TV/CD/MP3/RADIO player
• Built-in hard drive
• 7″ touch screen LCD display @ 800 x 480

Don’t think that will ever reach Stateside though.
