Gauge your vehicle's performance
The AVIC-N1 provides full-color Vehicle Dynamics Displays so you can visually monitor your vehicle's performance on-screen. Gauges showing acceleration, cornering, speed, and more are right there at your fingertips.
Rear-View Camera Ready
Eyes on the road-front and back: the AVIC-N1 is rear-view camera-ready and offers two rear-view modes: while you're in reverse the rear-view camera mode is fullscreen; while moving forward you can also see what's behind you with the rear-view split screen, which displays both the navigation map and the rear-view camera image.
The Pioneer ND-BCl rear-view camera is optional. It is designed to allow the driver to observe a towed boat or vehicle during transport. The optional rearview camera should be a "reversed image" type.
Memory Navigation
Pioneer has developed the revolutionary Memory Navigation function that automatically stores map and route data into its internal memory.
The AVIC-Nl will continue to guide you even after you've ejected the navigation map disc to playa CD, or a DVD movie for rear-seat passengers.
All in a one-DIN chassis with one DVD drive. With Memory Navigation you can display your route data and map-for example, L.A. to Vegas, or New York to Philadelphia-plus a 10-mile x 10-mile area around your home, and a national map at 25-mile scale.
*DVD MOVIES CANNOT BE VIEWED FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT IN A CAR WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING
The revolutionary AVIC-N1 offers simple touch panel or voice command letting consumers simultaneously access Memory Navigation information (route guidance, electronic mapping, points of interests, etc.), entertainment (audio entertainment for front seat passengers, DVD-video entertainment for rear seat passengers) and vehicle dynamics (speed, acceleration, lateral G-Force, angular velocity, slope, angle, etc.).
For the first time consumers can obtain route guidance information, listen to AM/FM/XM satellite radio, play DVD movies for rear passengers and monitor the performance of the vehicle, all at the same time.
Users can quickly switch views between different sources available - navigation, vehicle dynamics and DVD video. Pioneer's AVIC-N1 is the most advanced in-car navigation system in the market.
| “Consumer acceptance of navigation has grown dramatically - 63 percent year to date.
We're responding to consumer demand by adding and combining unique features that are most important to drivers today,” said Michael Townsen, vice president of marketing for mobile entertainment at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.
“The AVIC-N1 bridges technologies and features never seen before in a single product.”
The AVIC-N1 is designed for ease of use, driver safety and convenience, featuring an innovative touch panel control that combines multiple user screens with voice command.
“It allows consumers to replace three of the most popular mobile entertainment products with a single device providing the latest technologies and features available today in navigation, audio/video and vehicle dynamics,” said Townsen. |

The Navigation System
In-car navigation does more than just show consumers where they are on a map. It offers step-by-step instructions to get from point A to point B, with a choice of multiple different routes and the ability to locate stores, restaurants and gas stations along the way. All of this is done through simple one-touch menus on-screen or through voice activation (microphone sold separately) to make the AVIC-N1 easy and safe to use.
The AVIC-N1 provides accurate detailed route guidance for the entire United States and Canada. Once a consumer selects a destination, the AVIC-N1's extremely fast processor calculates a route in approximately 10 seconds and provides directions via voice prompts.
A separate positioning CPU is used for accurate vehicle positioning on detailed mapping that displays the route on a 6.5-inch LCD touch screen monitor. By using separate CPUs for these two functions, Pioneer's navigation system is faster and more accurate than other systems.
LCD Monitor
The 6.5-inch LCD monitor can be folded away while the driver follows voice prompts to his or her final destination, or it can be used to display detailed maps. The touch screen monitor has extremely fast response rates and a wide viewing angle.
- The driver can choose from seven enhanced modes that can be displayed on the screen, including:
- Standard map view mode
- Driver's view mode (3-D view of map)
- Guide view mode (split screen between map and guide arrow)
- Route view mode (split screen between map and list of upcoming streets)
- A/V status mode (split screen between map and standard radio/CD display)
- Rear view split screen (split screen between rear camera view and overhead map)
- Vehicle dynamics mode (performance gauges)
See what's behind you without turning your head!
The system also includes a camera input so owners of large vehicles can view an image from a rear camera on the screen. This feature allows owners of SUVs and RVs to see a boat or vehicle they may be towing for added safety.
The system uses a massive 12-million points of interest (POI) database with more than 248 different categories so consumers can search for the nearest gas station, ATM or restaurant.
As users are guided along their route, points of interest are overlaid onto the map, which is particularly helpful when driving in unfamiliar areas. Easy-to-recognize icons are used to identify hotels, restaurants, banks and even specific chain store locations such as KFC® or Starbucks®.
Vehicle Dynamics Monitor
With the growing trend among the youth “Tuner” market to modify their vehicles with upgraded tires, wheels, suspension and other aftermarket equipment, the vehicle dynamics is expected to be a popular feature, offering an easy, fun and accurate method to assess a car's performance with stock equipment versus aftermarket parts.
The rich navigation features enable the system to monitor key performance attributes and provide users with vehicle dynamics in real time. Analog and digital gauges are available on the 6.5-inch LCD monitor to track performance measures.
Measurements include simple features such as voltage, compass and clock as well as dynamic features such as:
- Acceleration to measure forward and backward G-Force
- Lateral G-Force to measure maximum cornering force
- Angular velocity to measure turn rate
- Slope to measure the incline
The Acceleration and Lateral G-Force gauges can perform peak holds so users are able to see and track their vehicle's performance. Performance minded automobile enthusiasts will enjoy the ability to assess vehicle dynamics and compare results to what is often reported in the latest automobile magazines.
Memory Navigation
Memory Navigation is an industry-first mapping technology that allows consumers to access all the features of both the navigation and A/V system simultaneously rather than facing an either-or choice.
| “Pioneer's AVIC-N1 provides maximum flexibility and performance across all aspects of mobile entertainment for any driver...
...for example, a family driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco can have their entire route mapped in the memory of the navigation system and still entertain rear seat passengers with DVD movies for the length of the trip,” said Townsen. |

Audio Video Entertainment System
The state-of-the art audio/video entertainment system provides full dual zone capabilities, as well as DVD video playback, single CD, MP3 CDs and AM/FM/XM satellite radio all with maximum power and sound performance.
Much like its top-line head unit counterparts, the AVIC-N1 is a high quality audio system with MOSFET50 (50 watts X 4 amplifier), three pre-amp outputs and three band parametric equalizer. The system can be expanded with other sources such as XM satellite radio, CD changer, DVD changer and TV tuner. All sources are direct access using its touch screen display.
The single-DIN Pioneer AVIC-N1 headunit will be available in March 2004.
