What's Hot

Detachable PNU (Portable Navigational Unit), acclaimed TomTom GPS performance, Bluetooth connectivity for handsfree calling, USB port, solid combination of navigation and in-car audio

What's Not

CD playback interface isn't great, Bluetooth not compatible with all phones, outgoing voice for handsfree Bluetooth calls could be improved

The Final Word

The AVN2210p is far from perfect, but it's a nice example of what can be achieved by combining personal navigation and in-car entertainment. It's a very solid unit with a couple of nifty features and the fact that the GPS unit is detachable will be a selling point for many consumers – not to mention its very reasonable asking price.
