A GPS navigation system makes a great graduation, birthday, retirement, or holiday gift. By giving your friend or family a car gps (global positioning system), you will save them the frustration and humiliation of being lost. Moreover, with a handy mobile navigation system or reliable in dash navigation, you will being giving the gift of saved time for your loved one–by keeping them on their way with easy directions! Putting this convenience at the fingertips of someone in your life is a truly useful and lasting present.  

In addition to the benefit of saving time and frustration, there are safety benefits to visiting your local car audio professionals for a navigation system.   An in dash navigation system or portable navigation system keeps your loved ones’ eyes on the road while they are driving, rather than on paper directions, or even worse an unwieldy folding map or gigantic atlas.  GPS navigation systems allow drivers to easily and safely arrive at their destination without ever having their eyes leave the road. The spoken directions are easy to follow, and the car gps system will even automatically recalculate the route in the event that a wrong turn is made.  For added safety, talk to your car audio experts about GPS tracking systems to find stolen vehicles or just know where the car is. GPS tracking features can be invaluable for anyone from business owners with a fleet of vehicles to parents of teens who are new drivers.

Now that you are convinced of the value of a navigation system, you just need to get into your car audio specialist to get this tool installed.   Contact your local mobile electronics pros today!

With 150 million iPods sold (as of April 2008), it’s no wonder that iPod integration is one of the biggest trends in car audio today. These millions of iPod users simply want a way to easily listen to their music collection while in the driver’s seat. But until recently, there hasn’t been a truly good solution to the problem “How do I get my mp3s from my music player to my car stereo.” FM transmission systems have been tried (and are still available for those who don’t mind mediocre sound), but offered only so-so performance. So when iPod integration systems became readily available in the last several years, sales have gone through the roof! If you’re ready to enjoy quality sound and easy operation of your mp3 device while on the road, iPod integration is probably the solution you need.

iPod integration is the best way to connect your mp3 player with your car stereo for top-notch sound quality. Unlike the FM transmitter iPod connection systems of the past, new iPod integration technology directly interfaces your music player with your stereo: you get easy operation right on your deck as well as high-quality sound from your vehicle’s speakers. Enjoying your music collection in your car or truck shouldn’t have to be a hassle: tangled connection wires, knotted headphones, and staticky transmission are all things of the past with the new iPod integration technology. Some integration systems even allow you to access video stored on your iPod and play it on your in car video screens!

While some newer model vehicles are available with factory mp3 integration systems, your local mobile electronics shop can retrofit your car or truck with an iPod integration system. Call or visit their showroom to learn more about the various models and brands of iPod integration systems and which is right for your vehicle. Some drivers find the music management interface of several iPod integration systems unwieldy, so be sure to demo available systems at your car electronics dealer, if possible. This will help you get an idea of which systems are most convenient to operate and best suited for your listening style.
