It was another exciting CES this year for manufacturers of in-car entertainment and portable electronics. Most manufacturers have or plan to partner with Pandora to include this feature in the vehicle. In addition, most in-dash and navigation systems are HD and Sirius satellite radio-ready and quite possibly the most interesting in-car product I saw at the show came from Pioneer, who showcased its new Aha Radio service.
