At last year’s Google I/O conference, the company officially unveiled Android Auto, the in-car system meant to compete with Apple’s CarPlay system (at least a little bit).

Now, following the lineup’s debut at CES 2015 earlier this year, Pioneer has made available the second generation NEX head units. That includes the AVIC-8100NEX, the AVIC-7100NEX and AVH-4100NEX. All of these units support Android Auto out of the box, with the 4100NEX starting at $700. The AVIC-8100NEX goes up to $1,400. You’ll need the brand new Android Auto app, which is available in the Google Play Store, and an Android device running Android 5.0 or later.
