Kenwood will introduce at CES in January, one of the industry’s first in-dash navigation/radios with a WiFi connection to the Internet.
The device will give you a connection to a dedicated Kenwood server. And it will expand the capability of car entertainment in four ways, said SVP Consumer Electronics Keith Lehmann.
The deck will let you access Facebook, Twitter and other forms of communication through voice (text-to-speech, TTS, and speech-to-text, STT, hands-free operation).
The deck will let you listen to songs on demand from the Internet, giving you a choice of hundreds of thousands of songs and video by command. It will also give you on-demand access of songs and videos stored on devices attached to the unit, such as a smartphone.
In navigation, the WiFi connection provides access to real time traffic, data services and traffic camera locations. Plus it connects to other utilities that integrate with the Garmin navigation platform.
Another novel feature of the WiFi deck is it will have an optional second screen that may be used in the rear seat by kids to watch movies or other content served up wirelessly from the radio.
More details on the new WiFi navigation/radio will be announced by Kenwood at CES.

Are they mis-using the term "wi-fi" here? If not, are they talking about N-band? Are you supposed to enable a hotspot from your phone? Or do they mean you can add it to your phone plan (like a tablet) and have it use 3G or 4G wireless? Which carriers?

Sounds like more things to distract drivers in traffic IMO. Who really needs Facebook on the go? A completely voice operated system that allows you to say what tracks you want navigated by voice would be nice (third party system speaking terms) but why are they using Wifi, requiring a person to have a connection at all times and not offering something such as 3G or 4G?
