New receivers aren’t the only announcement JVC brought to CES — it’s also promising to expand App compatibility for its 2013 line of infotainment head units.

JVC will be announcing compatible applications as the year moves forward, but is kicking off 2013 with MotionX GPS-Drive — promising to deliver iPhone augmented lane assistance, live speed limit updates, navigation tools, maps and turn by turn commands.
