CES: XM's New Mini-Tuner Car Stereos
Friday, January 12, 2007 at 4:54 PM

Ding dong, the Plug-and-Play is dead. That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this display of XM Mini-Tuner enabled car stereos.
No longer would we need a fish-finder stuck to our windshield. No longer would wires be running across my dashboard. The car stereo has finally whole-heartedly taken on satellite radio, and with the XM Mini-Tuner, I can take my subscription with me anywhere!
What you see above is XM's display for new car stereo headunits (and the bottom two are marine stereos) at CES this year. On the outside, it doesn't appear impressive (hell, they're just stereos), but that's partially why I feel they're so desirable. These are perhaps the most significant receivers on display at CES.
Follow the jump to read on, and of course, to see a ton of pics...
