Clarion's latest lineup of in-dash DVD systems brings TFT screens, iPod control, and two-zone capability to your car.

The new VRX375USB from Clarion fits in a single DIN slot. On the faceplate, a 3.5-inch TFT monitor provides playback. Also packed into the head unit are iPod audio control with video playback, a USB port, and rear-view camera input for the video display. The unit can also be tied into factory steering wheel controls, and can control two entertainment systems in the vehicle.

Going up the price scale, the $799 VRX575USB adds on a seven-inch flip-up screen, DVD audio-file playback including Apple's AAC format, and Microsoft's WMA format, and a touch-screen interface.

And at the top of the scale, the VRX775VD sports the motorized seven-inch LCD screen, iPod control, and pre-wiring for satellite radio, navigation systems, and Bluetooth connectivity.
