No, they’re not the latest colognes. They are the names of some of the most innovative multifunctional electronic devices available for your car.

It’s no longer enough for a gadget to do just one thing well. To improve convenience and safety for drivers, the latest trend is to combine multiple functions in one compact unit. The Alpine eX-10 is an Apple iPod adapter that doubles as a Bluetooth receiver. The Kenwood DNX8120 is a navigation system that also works like a radio. And yes, it has Bluetooth too. Then there are the in-car computers that let drivers navigate, email, and store MP3s right in their center console.

Because Apple iPods have become commonplace in recent years, aftermarket accessory manufacturers have been devising ways for drivers to bring their music libraries along for the ride. The Alpine eX-10 allows drivers to play their iPods through their car speakers without using a radio transmitter or tape adapter, both of which compromise sound quality.

“The iPod is clearly the leading application for portable media player integration in cars,” said Todd Ramsey of Ramsey Consulting Group in Phoenix, Ariz. “But the industry will continue development of support for more ubiquitous USB-based devices like thumb drives, portable hard drives, and a wide range of competing portable media players.”

And with some devices, drivers can leave the iPod home. The Azentek Atlas CPC-1200 is a personal computer that’s built right into the dashboard, and with a 120-gigabyte hard drive, it can store enough music for any road trip.
