High price gets you a seven-inch colour touchscreen, which slides out to provide control over the DVD player, radio, CD, iPod and other options. But it needs a separate lead. iPod info is shown on a three-line display, and operated fast, especially accessing categories. Yet there is no podcast, composer or audiobook.
