Jensen has a knack of packing lots of as-standard features into its aftermarket in-dash car systems and the VM9022HDN, on show at this year's CES 2008, is no exception. The double-DIN sized device supports nearly every mainstream audio source available including HD Radio, iPods, discs (CD, MP3, WMA), SD cards, USB drives, and--with the addition of an add-on module--Satellite Radio. For video, the system supports DVD video, which is reproduced on its 6.5-inch wide-screen display. The VM9022HDN is also an out-of-the box GPS navigation device programmable via its touch-screen display.

While real-time traffic information is not available for the device, it does come with a a feature called SMART Navigation that offers drivers a number of ways to get to their destination, based on the time of day and various traffic patterns. The VM9022HDN has already bagged a CEA Innovations Award and will hit the shelves in February with a price tag of around $1,300.

Bluetooth? AM/FM? It seems some important features are missing.
