At one time drivers relied on eight-track cartridge players for their in-car tunes. Next came cassette systems, then CD players. Technology takes no prisoners, as we know, and this new Pioneer car stereo ditches CD playback entirely. Instead, it offers an SD memory-card slot and a socket for plugging in a USB pen drive or an iPod.

Pioneer has utilised the extra fascia space that binning a CD drive creates to add a 3in LCD screen so you can show off your photos and films.
