A brand spankin' new Audiovox XpressEZ plug-and-play XM Satellite Radio receiver just was handed to a giggly yours-truly by the pretty FedEx lady this morning.

And while the XpressEZ isn't due to hit the streets until June, we're today getting a preview look of Audiovox's entry-level offering with an unboxing and undressing.

Follow the jump for more photos of the XpressEZ unboxing and initial impressions... 

The new hotness from Panasonic has just been released: introducing the Panasonic Strada CN-NVD905U In-Dash Nav System/DVD/Hard Drive/Satellite Radio/Swiss Army Knife.

The double-din Strada CN-NVD905U features an integrated 7-inch touch panel LCD screen, a 30Gb Hard Drive, a MOS-FET High-power Amp (50W x 4 max), DVD video playback (with support for homegrown DVD-R/RW discs), WMA/MP3 playback with support for CD-R/RW, and... why not... a Voice Guidance/GUI in English, French and Spanish.

The pre-loaded NAVTEQ mapping software provides map data for the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, plus detailed maps of 86 U.S. cities. You can easily upgrade the software with DVD map database updates. There's also an SD Memory Card slot for map data upgrades.

The CN-NVD905U is ready for pretty much anything. It's Satellite Radio-ready (for either XM or Sirius), expansion module-ready, iPod-ready (including displaying Video content stored on your iPod), Bluetooth-ready, and Rearview camera-ready (Panasonic model CY-RC50KU).

Panasonic's  first mobile navigation system for the U.S. market also sports the option to display real time traffic information using Sirius Traffic. Icons can automatically show traffic flow or tie-ups on the screen, allowing the driver to take an alternate route. This feature is available by connecting the Panasonic CN-NVD905U to an optional Sirius tuner and antenna, plus of course a subscription to Sirius Traffic. 

Drooling yet? Well, save your lunch money kids, because the Panasonic Strada CN-NVD905U Double-Din HDD navigation DVD receiver will be available sometime this month with an MSRP of $1799.95.
