Pioneer announced Android Auto head units at last year's CES, and it's following up with updated model names for 2016. You could think of this line as the 200 series, as each unit has jumped from 100 to 200.

The new units are the AVH-4200NEX ($700.00), AVIC-7200NEX ($1,200), and the AVIC-8200NEX ($1,400). Each one is largely the same as last year's model, as this is the car industry we're talking about. Each unit comes with Pioneer's own interface, which you're free to ignore by plugging in your Android device and switching to Auto.

If you're going to throw down the money outfitting your existing ride with Android Auto, it may be worthwhile going for the current year's unit when the new models roll out this spring. Or you can take advantage of that chance to buy the older ones at even lower prices.

You can see how the various units stack up against one another at Pioneer's website.
