GPS Tracking

A GPS tracking unit is a device that uses the Global Positioning System to determine the precise location of a vehicle, person, or other asset to which it is attached and to record the position of the asset at regular intervals. The recorded location data can be stored within the tracking unit, or it may be transmitted to a central location data base, or internet-connected computer, using a cellular (GPRS), radio, or satellite modem embedded in the unit.

iPod & USB Devices

iPod integration and USB Devices

Universal serial bus (USB) drives are about the size of a keychain and cost as little as $20 at our store store. Just pop them into your PC and copy your mp3’s to them to store digital music files.– making them a great alternative to stacks of CDs

Thumb drives are “fast, inexpensive and much more portable,” says Keith Lehmann, vice president of consumer electronics maker Kenwood.

Since thumb drives can store all kinds of files, they could eventually bring photos or video to car stereos. JVC and Blaupunkt’s upcoming models will be capable of posting a video image on the stereo’s display screen.

iPod Integration

There are several different ways to connect your iPod to your car stereo: iPod adapters, auxiliary input adapters, FM modulators, and cassette adapters. Each solution offers a different level of sound quality, along with different requirements for making the audio connections.

iPod adapters

You’ll find two types of adapters that are designed specifically for connecting your iPod to your car stereo: factory stereo adapters and brand-name stereo adapters. The former type connects your iPod to the stereo that came with your car (Stock Radio), while the latter connects your iPod to a brand-name (or aftermarket) stereo. Either type provides a direct audio connection for the best possible sound quality.

Auxiliary inputs

Auxiliary inputs are typically found only on brand-name car radios. However, adapters are available that can convert the CD changer port on the back of a factory or brand-name stereo into an auxiliary input (check your manual or call a Sales Advisor to see if you need an adapter for your stereo).

FM modulators

If your factory or brand-name stereo doesn’t have changer controls, an auxiliary input, or an available adapter, you can listen to your iPod with an FM modulator (also sometimes called an RF, or radio frequency, modulator). A wireless FM modulator transmits the source signal to your receiver over a standard FM frequency, which you can then tune to on your stereo. A wired FM modulator offers slightly better performance, since it plugs into the stereo’s antenna input.

Wireless FM modulators

Wireless FM modulators make it even easier to listen to your iPod, allowing you to make connections without removing your receiver or running extra wires. The trade-off, however, is in sound quality. While wireless modulators are convenient, they are susceptible at times to outside interference and static. Installation is easy — just connect the modulator to your source and plug in its cigarette lighter power adapter. Some iPod accessories even combine a wireless FM modulator, a power adapter, and a mount for your iPod.

Cassette adapters

While they’re not as common as they once were, wired cassette adapters are still a convenient way to connect your iPod to a cassette-based audio system. In fact, it’s a great way to connect an iPod to a rented or leased car, since you don’t need to remove the receiver or disturb the installation in any way. A cassette adapter, however, is a less than perfect solution for a permanent installation because it doesn’t provide power for your source, won’t sound as clear as a direct-wired connection, and clutters your dash with unsightly wires.

With that in mind, connecting a cassette adapter is a relatively simple installation. The cassette unit loads into your receiver and trails a cord with a 1/8″ mini-jack plug on the end. Just connect it to your iPod, plug it into the adapter, power it up, and go. Once again, though, we suggest investing in a cigarette lighter power adapter to keep your iPod charged up while you’re on the road.

Mobile Video

There are plenty of reasons for stepping up to mobile video, including:

• Entertainment. There’s no denying that every trip, from the aunts house, to the local supermarket to cross-country vacation hauls, are much easier and more enjoyable when the kids have access to engaging entertainment options. Backseat video systems, for which there are plenty of options we’ll explore a little later, allow your kids to watch their favorite movies and cartoons, or, in some cases, even play their video game system. As a bonus to you, most incorporate headphones into the system, so they’ll be able to hear the movies privately, while you still enjoy the radio up front.
• Safety. Some video systems give you the option of connecting a navigation system, which provides turn-by-turn visual and voice directions, which help you get where you’re going efficiently and accurately. Not having to fiddle with conventional maps is a huge advantage, especially if you’re driving through unfamiliar territory for the first time. Some systems also allow you to connect a backup camera, which can be a tremendous safety enhancement to larger vehicles, such as RVs.
• The Wow! Factor. Few mobile electronics components cause the stir that mobile video does. Take in-dash receivers with monitors for example — if you’ve got one installed in your dash, the first time your passengers see the retractable monitor motoring out of the dash and into position, they won’t be able to help oohing and ahhing. Some systems offer touch-screen controls, which never fails to impress. Just the on-screen graphics alone are enough to produce delight in most people.
• The car is a fun environment in which to watch movies. It’s great to be able to watch your favorite movies in the backseat when the vehicle’s in motion. And it’s just as enjoyable to pop a DVD in an in-dash receiver, park the car, and start the show. If you go with a comprehensive setup, you can even get true 5.1 home-theater-style sound, which sounds spectacular in the cozy environment of the car.
• The Wild Cards. Mobile video systems drastically expand the number of entertainment options you can have in your vehicle. Movies, video games, local television, even satellite television (we’re not kidding) are all available for use in your car, truck, van, or SUV. And mobile video technology just keeps getting better
