    This is what the players will be pimp’n soon ’cause everyone needs a Blu-ray player in their car. People have been stuffing PS3s into their cars since the gaming system came out, but the Panasonic CY-BB1000D is the first in-dash unit to sport a Blu-ray drive. The fun doesn’t stop with just the Blu-ray drive. Nope, this unit is loaded, playa.

    Besides the Blu-ray player, the Panasonic CY-BB1000D has GPS, Bluetooth, a 40GB HDD, 1seg TV tuner, and a 7-inch HD screen. How fun is that! Who knows if American bassheads will ever get to install this in their rides, but at least Japanese stereo freaks will be able to when it launches in the Fall.
