Panasonic’s latest Strada F-Class car navigation systems are yet another reason to lament not living in Japan. The CN-HX1000D and CN-HW1000D borrow the VIERA label from the company’s premium LCD TVs, though scaled down to just 7-inches, and throw in a DVD player, GPS, hard-drive, iPod link, Bluetooth and a 1-Seg digital TV tuner. Most impressive, though, is Panasonic’s “From Home to Car” system: that uses a Bluetooth cellphone to link up with a networked home.
