CD Changers For Factory Stereos

Car Audio Advisor — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 11:50:21 +0000

Every once in a while you will run into someone that does not want to get rid of the factory stereo that is in their car. This can be because factory stuff always costs more and has a higher value than custom stuff. The only problem with that is the fact that a lot of people do not have CD changers that will fit factory stereos. Usually you have to buy a car CD changer that will go with the brand of stereo that you have. Of course, you can find changers that are made by the factory to put in your car. You better hope you have a lot of money to get them with.

Getting a CD changer for your car is a great idea. Not only does it save room, because you do not have to find a place to keep all your CDs, but the changer fits very nicely in the back of your trunk, out of the way so no one can see it. This is the best way to go about having a crap load of CDs ready to be played at the click of a button. You are able to surf through tons of music and get to listen to the Compact Disk that you want to listen to without having to go through and change CDs every time. Of course, what are you suppose to do if you have a factory stereo and you do not want to get rid of it. The problem here is that most CD changers have to be used with the same brand player. So lets say you have a Ford Thunderbird with a factory stereo. Well there is going to be no CD changer that will work with that unless it’s a factory CD changer made by Ford.

So if you want to keep it, why not just go out and get a CD changer made by the company that makes your car? Well here lies the problem. If you have ever tried to buy factory rims before, then you know what I am about to say. Factory stuff is always higher in value (and price) than custom stuff. This goes for CD changers as well. So that Ford CD changer that you want is going to cost around $400 when one from the store may only cost $100. Are you willing to pay that much more for a factory CD changer that may not even be as good? That is the problem that people are having to face today. However, a lot of people do not know this, and they sell their factory stuff for a lot less than what they should sell it for.

If you are in the business of wanting to get a factory CD changer, then you are going to be ready to spend a lot of money. In fact, there are not many different ways that you can get around spending a lot of money. Your best bet is to go on-line, and see if you can find a sucker who is selling it for cheap. If you are going to keep your factory stereo, then it is going to cost you a lot of money to get a factory CD changer, that is just the way it goes. Of course, that may not be a problem for you if you have a lot of money to spend on something like that.

Car Audio Advisor — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:35:36 +0000

Nowadays, everything seems like it is run on Bluetooth technology. This includes many different types of computers, video game consoles, cell phones, and of course, portable music players. Since so many different things run on this kind of thing, wouldn’t it be nice if you could have Bluetooth on the go? By that I mean, it would be nice to have Bluetooth in your car, would it not? Well, if you have some of the newer cars, then you may already have Bluetooth technology in there. For the rest of us, what can we do to get Bluetooth technology in the car? Well, you do it just like you do everything else, you buy it!

Getting Bluetooth technology for your car is not something that is very hard to do. Of course, you may be asking yourself why you need Bluetooth technology for you car. What good is that going to do you? Well, to tell you the truth, it’s going to help you a lot, and I will tell you why. How many of you drive around with your phone? Some of us use headsets, some of us have Bluetooth pieces, and some of us still do it the old fashion way by holding the phone to our ear (I know. It sounds so old school now, doesn’t it?). However, a few lucky ones do not need any of that they have Bluetooth in there car.

This means that when they get a phone call, the phone call will be wireless throughout the whole car. Most of the time this means that the conversation will play right out of the cars speakers! Talk about a conversation in stereo! Anyway, you will be free to drive and not have to worry about anything being on your head or in your ear.

Getting this kind of thing installed in your car is a little harder than it sounds. Although there are guides out there that can help you do it yourself, I would suggest that you go to a store and have them do it for you. If you have someone in your family that can do this kind of thing, then you can buy what you need and have them do it. However, if you do not understand how this kind of stuff works, then it is just going to be a big mess, and you are going to hate Bluetooth technology by the end of everything. This is one of the few things that it actually pays to have someone do it for you.

Getting this kind of technology in your car is going to have such a big effect on your life. However, to a lot of people, they do not understand that. This is something that you have to use before you see how great it is. You can talk about it, but you may just be saying that you can just use my headset. Well, unless you want to leave that headset in your ear the whole time, then this is something that you are going to want in your car. It makes everything simple, and it’s all hands free.

As soon as a call comes in, you can answer it without having to put on your little headset. No more having to scramble to put everything in place when you get a call. This could be your new best friend, so go out there and get one today. You will be very happy you chose to do it.

How To Make Speakers Sound Their Best

Car Audio Advisor — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 12:00:48 +0000

It can be easy to make your speakers sound the best if you know where to place them. Making sure you have the right speakers in the right spots is the key to having your car sound the best. You need to know where the bass speakers are, as well as the other speakers, to insure that you get them located in the perfect spot. By doing this you will insure that no matter what speakers you have, you will be able to have a good sound system. After all, it does not always matter the quality of the speakers; sometimes it matters where you have the speakers located.

Sony Xplod Speakers

There are guides on-line that can help you in placing your speakers. It can be very hard to understand where to place them. However, you are going to want your biggest speakers further away. Usually your car helps you with this. Most of the time the speakers in the front of the car by the driver and passenger seats are smaller than the speakers in the back. Most of the time you want to set up the speakers so that the bass, and sounds like that, are coming from the back of the car. If you can do this, then it’s going to sound better.

Pioneer Car Speakers

If you have too much bass coming in at the front of the car, then you are going to be able to understand what the people are saying, because the bass is going to be missing with the sound of their voice. This can be a problem when you are trying to make your car sound the best that it can. However, just placing your speakers in the right spot is not enough to make it sound good.

When you are placing your speakers, you also have to adjust your speakers on the stereo system. You will be able to adjust what speakers do what and which ones are louder. For example, you may just have most of the bass come out of the back ones and have them loud. Then your front ones are going to have less bass so all you hear is the voice of the person singing. That way you can clearly hear what they are saying, and at the same time, you are still able to have your bass way up. Of course, it all depends on what you want your car to sound like. If you do not listen to any music with a lot of bass, then it does not do you any good to worry about where the bass it coming from.

Sony Speakers

The best thing to remember is that you need to place your speakers where they sound best to you. This goes for the fact when you are setting up the speakers as well. You want to be sure that you put the right music to the right speakers to insure that they all sound their best. Just putting your speakers in is not going to give you the sound that you are looking for. After all, the whole point in putting in new speakers is to get a new fresh sound that sounds great in your car. Always look on-line for tips whenever you are looking for people to help you install your speakers and where to place them. Most of the time people on-line are going to be willing to give you answers for free.

Car Video Installation Guides

Car Audio Advisor — Thu, 14 May 2009 18:16:52 +0000

Whenever you get a car video system for your car, the first thing that you are going to want to do is get it up and running as fast as you can. Not so much because you want to use it right away, but just for the simple fact that you have it, and you want it up and working. There are a few different ways that you can go about getting them up and running. First, you can have the people that you got the car video system from to install it, but keep in mind, this is going to cost you a lot of money. The next choice is to go about doing it yourself, which can be a little hard to do.

Pioneer AVD-W7900 7-inch QVGA Colour Screen

Paying to have someone install this video system for you car is not something that tall of us can afford to do. That has to do with the fact that the video system itself going to cost a lot of money. We may not have the extra funds to get it done right away. However, if you want it up and running right away, waiting is not something that you are going to want to do. So really that leaves you with one choice, and that is to do it yourself. Now doing it yourself is something that can be scary, but if you put your mind to it, then you will be able to do it in no time. The first thing that you are going to have to do to make this work is to have the video system and the tools that you need to get it done. The next thing that you are going to have to do is find one of these video installation guides on the Internet. These are guides (for the most part) that are going to take you step by step through the whole thing.

Locating these guides on the Internet can take some time, but they are out there. Now, there are two different kind of guides that you need to be on the lookout for. These guides can be in the form of words or videos. Finding the word guides can be easy, but at the same time, you are not going to have any pictures to go on. However, if you have a video guide you are going to be able to see it done first hand. You will go about finding these video guides just like you would the normal guides. When you find them, you will be able to watch someone install it so that you can turn around and go do it yourself. Although the make and models of the cars may bot be the same, you will have a good basic idea of how to go about doing this.

Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD Double-DIN Multimedia Player

The only problem that you are going to have when you are using the video guides is the fact that they can only be watched on your computer. The written guides can be printed off and taken with you. This means you are going to have to take notes on the video so you know what to do. Or you could get the normal installation guide as well. That way you can watch it being done, and at the same time, you will have a hard copy of the notes and step by step guide of how to do it to take with you. These video systems cost a lot of money, and there is no reason to mess them up and lose all that money you put into them.

Buying Your First Car GPS Navigation System

Car Audio Advisor — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 10:47:37 +0000

I remember a time when the only help you had on the road was your trusty map. Well the good news is that you no longer have to fight with the map every time you want to go somewhere new. Now you can just go out and buy a GPS system to help you find your way around town. There are lots of different GPS navigation systems out there so you have to be sure that you get the one that is right for you. Some can help you avoid traffic, and others can help you choose the shortest route to where you need to go. Either way you will love your new personal driving assistant.

Pioneer AVIC-F900BT GPS Navigation Receiver

I am not a big fan of using maps, and I guess that is because I am not good reading them. However, after I went out and got me a new GPS navigation system I never had to use another map again. These little wizards that sit in your car with you make sure you get to where you need to go without ever having to look at a map. You just put in the location of where you want to go, and it will take you there.

TomTom XL 330 Portable Navigator

There are many great uses for GPS systems, however, the best one is to get to point A to point B fast and without any other help. However, there are some GPS systems that have ways of allowing you to avoid traffic. These little guys scout ahead to see if a road is blocked, and then it picks the fastest way to go. Another great thing about some of them is that it can help you keep track of where your teen is. This way you always know where they are, no more guess work.

When you are ready to take the guess work out of guessing then you know it’s time to get a GPS system. Now these have come a long way since when they first came out. They are a lot smaller, and they are a lot better. However, the really good ones are still going to cost you a lot of money. If you do not feel like you need one of the top of the line ones then you can spend less money and get a more down to earth one.

Garmin nuvi® 885T Portable Navigator

If you are looking to blow away your friends then you have to get one of the in dash GPS systems. These little personal assistant guys pop right out of your dash and then go back down again when you are not using it. Not only does this keep your dash free of junk, but then also no one knows you have a GPS system. After all, everyone is looking for one. Why show the world that you have one just sitting in your car like that?

TomTom GO 730T Portable Navigator

Finding the right GPS system for you can be an all day job. However, I think that the best thing to do is look online first. This way you can get a few reviews about the GPS system before you buy it. Getting the one that is right for you is going to be worth the extra time you spent looking into it. Also, if you choose to look for it online you may be able to save money. After all, you can always get things for a better price online. So no more driving around aimlessly. Get yourself a GPS system. Your wife will be happy you did.

How to Choose Marine Audio

Car Audio Advisor — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 10:23:55 +0000

Cars, restaurants, shopping malls and so forth have stereo system for people to enjoy their meals, shopping and driving. Now boats have also come up with marine stereo system that are of course water resistant and can play well in an open air environment.

Clarion CMD5 Marine CD Receiver

The choice of deciding which marine audio to choose is for those who like to travel in sea more than in cars. It is also a hobby of people who own their own ferries and boats for sailing with friends and family members. You can have parties, get together and celebrate special occasions on your boat with some favorite tracks of yours.

Sony CDXM1016PKG Marine Audio System

The more technology is becoming common in every part of the world the need of pampering yourself with luxuries is also a necessity now. First we started off with stereo systems that came built-in in the cars while iPOD kicked in and overcome every kind of CD players. Some people were busy jazzing up their car with car speakers while others were spending more and more money on their personal boats and ferries.

Kenwood KDC-232MR Marine Audio Package

Having a boat pays off when you need to get away from a busy, crowded life of the city. Having fun with your family or casually hanging out with your friends is always soothing to the mind and a boat trip with friends and family is incomplete without a marine audio system on the boat.

Now choosing a marine audio system for your boat or ferry is pretty different from choosing an audio system for your car. First of all a boat being open aired needs a stereo system that disperse sound in a manner that is not irritating to the ears. Too much treble in marine audio system is not a good idea as it makes the sound in open water very squeaky. Although marine audio is a product that is completely new to the market but has increased its sales in the past few years. Before people just used to switch their car speakers into the boat which could have been done but the sound production from a marine audio is marvelous. Just like in the car speakers you get a stereo to switch back and forth to different CDs and tracks, speakers that are placed in each corner of the ship and a subwoofer for bass production. Amplifiers are also available if you want an entire studio in your boat.

Sony CDX-H910UI Marine Audio

Marine audio system with a remote control changer is a very good idea which makes you free from being around the stereo system each time you want to change the track or CD. Marine stereos come with built-in amplifiers too while the best ones stand up to the challenge of the water environment. Buying an excellent marine audio system comes with FM transmission, Bluetooth device as well as iPOD enhancement.

Alpine CDA-9886M Marine Stereo

The speakers are supposed to be in each corner and floor of the boat with switches that can be turned on and off whenever needed. For each bass freak out there, the configuration of subwoofers provided with the marine audio system is pretty impressive which may vary according to each individual. Some people have subwoofers installed in each floor of the ferry to get maximum bass output. Polk audio subwoofers are available for marine audio systems while Kenwood and Alpine subwoofers are also obtainable. Polk audio subwoofers have the most maximum bass output.

Four Basic Things To Setup A Satellite Radio

Car Audio Advisor — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:14:59 +0000

Satellite Radio is another way to stay connected to the world through news, entertainment, sports, weather, traffic and other channels. It is just like cable TV only you hear rather than seeing. You can get this service by paying a fixed amount of money each month with signals that are crystal clear and signals that are available in almost 48 States in America. Two services are available XM and SIRIUS, both of them providing with over 60 channels of non-stop music and 40 channels for entertainment, talk, news, sports weather and traffic updates. Getting this service you can forget your local AM/FM radio stations as this is the complete entertainment package one can get.

Setup A Satellite Radio

A satellite radio is an excellent substitute for an AM/FM radio if you have some car traveling to do in the future. It is just like cable TV with almost 100 channels for music, traffic guide, sports, entertainment, weather, news and many more. You can stay in touch with the whole world while being behind the wheel, enjoying the commentary of people on different topics. Just like cable TV a monthly fee has to be paid for the services of satellite radio. This service comes on your radio 24/7 and the entire week with crystal clear signals. You will not loose a signal no matter which part of the country you are as its intermission is transmitted through satellite solving the problem of signals like other local radio stations. Two service providers are available for satellite radio including XM and SIRIUS. They are both up to the mark with an awesome service but the best way to choose between both of them is to check out the channels they both provided and of course the more the better. Sadly this service is still not provided in Hawaii, Alaska and U.S. territories.

Now to get this service some of the basic and essential things needed are as follows:

Satellite Radio Antenna: This antenna enables to catch the signals being given by the satellite. These antennas can pick satellite signals from over 48 states while can be installed with other three parts for getting satellite radio.
Satellite Radio Tuner: This helps to pass along the signals received to the receiver while passing through the antenna.
Satellite Radio Receiver: This is the screen that shows the information of which channel is being played with controls that are used to switch to different channels and find out information on what is being played and so on. These things come in built-in with the component stereo system with satellite radio tuner.
Service Provider: Once you have these above mentioned things installed in your car then all you have to do it to get subscribed with one of the satellite radio service provider which are either XM or SIRIUS. Once you become a paid subscriber of one of these services then you can enjoy non-stop radio entertainment on your car’s stereo system.

To enhance and get most out of this service you can use a plug-and-play radio which gives you the benefit of tuning satellite radio in your car and transferring it to your home radio anytime you want while paying just one subscription. You can also get a portable radio just like a Walkman only that device will play satellite radio instead of local radio stations, CDs or cassettes. Some of these portable radios give you the option of recording music and other channel transmission. These radios can be used as plug-and-play radios to switch to your car, home or personal use while keeping your convenience first.

Enjoy Your Ride With An Ideal GPS Navigation System

Car Audio Advisor — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 13:09:32 +0000

The era of finding directions through maps is old news. The Global Positioning System (GPS) for cars is the new device for reaching your destination. It is easy to understand and comfortable to use which comes fixed in cars or can be installed separately according to your needs. Generally there are four basic types of GPS navigation systems but you can customize them according to your finances and necessities. All you need to do is to punch in the exact address and forget about being lost in the turns and roads as GPS navigation system takes care of everything turning your journey into an adventurous, enjoyable and stress free.

GPS Navstar

The Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation systems are a technology that has made life easier. The hassle of taking several maps just to reach a destination anywhere in the world is now solved by this system. The cars being made in the past couple of years are available with built in navigation systems but they can be installed separately if considered necessary by you. They come in four basic types which can be searched online for accurate specifications and costs. You can either choose from any one of these navigation systems or personalize your own according to your provisions. But before you jump to conclusion, go ahead and purchase a navigation system for your car, some shop searching and online browsing is a good idea. There are some things to think about before you spend your money on one.

The first thing to consider before you choose a navigation system is as per how frequently you will use that GPS navigation system in your car. Is it even worth buying or will it be an additional cost in your budget. People who travel a lot in cars from one state to another or like picnics at various locations, the GPS navigation system are ideal for them. But the question still remains as to which one to choose? The answer lies in your own requirements and your convenience. The price range also varies but expensive systems does not necessarily mean user friendly as well. Also, take a brief look at your car’s layout before choosing a system to have a rough idea to which device will go where to maintain the classy look of your car rather than crowding it with all those devices.

Of all the navigation systems available in the market your fine choice would be a one that shows different ways to take you to your destination. This makes every penny worth it while you can switch roads to reach your destination incase of heavy traffic. Prefer buying one with voice activation so that your hands are free while driving and you can ask for the address while speaking the command. Also a navigation system with a wireless internet connection should be preferred to update your database for roads, streets and new development so that you are up-to-date with the situation out there. Moreover, the wireless connection allows you to connect your system to a PDA or a laptop as well. This makes your navigation system useful for a longer time.

Maptrax Uniden GPS352

Keeping these few things in mind you can install a navigation system for your car that will be a great spending on a device you are comfortable and enjoy using. Some of the websites that can be browsed to see the prices and different navigation systems are GPS-planet, Tiger Direct and Wal-Mart for reasonable prices and reliability. You can also visit PC World for price comparison on different navigation systems.
