Consumer electronics manufacturers are preparing novelties with a modular structure, allowing customers to customize the equipment of the car to the needs and requirements of the driver and passengers. This becomes possible due to the fact that new solutions make it easy to integrate with the car and connect signal sources that are not used in cars, such as a TV tuner, player. DVD or game console.

Radium

CD radios are now the backbone of the sound system in cars. Thanks to a significant reduction in the price of equipment, radios with a CD player became available to everyone. Slightly more technical receivers are equipped with decoders for compressed MP3 files, with the ability to add music sources stored on hard drives, allowing long listening to selected music tracks. Most receivers have built-in digital processors. sound that allows you to shape the sound of music in accordance with the tastes of the driver. The most technologically advanced products work with satellite navigation systems and have the ability to wirelessly communicate with GSM phones. If we use such equipment, there is no need to use a kit free hands. When the phone is within range of the radio, this unit can answer incoming calls using the voice dialing feature.

Factory players form a separate group. Their advantage is that they are functional, and their displays located in different parts of the dashboard reduce the risk of theft. Replacing such a receiver with a unit with better parameters should be preceded by a detailed analysis installation and the possibility of cooperation with existing electronics. It is worth remembering that factory kits are produced by well-known manufacturers, although their logo is not placed on the front of the equipment.

Speakers

Loudspeakers are the elements that provide auditory sensations. The sound quality in the car depends on their selection and placement. Factory-installed sound sources can be replaced with speakers of better parameters and quality. Specialists will select them individually for the requirements of audio equipment and the size of the car. Receipt quality comparable to a good home kit costs a lot of money. There are several groups of loudspeakers of different price levels, adapted for installation in certain types of cars, there are also universal loudspeakers. Speakers designed for a particular car model are ideally suited to the connectors in the car. It is worth remembering that speakers with impregnated paper membranes are sensitive to moisture getting inside the door in which they are installed. That is why it is so important to check the condition of gaskets and rubber cable glands and other elements that ensure tightness.

View

In the XNUMXth century, time has become the most valuable thing, and people do not want to waste it sleeping in the back seat of a car. Passengers in the car can enjoy watching movies, racing games and listening to music. The DVD player can be hidden in the trunk or replaced with a radio. Currently, there are multimedia stations with a motorized LCD monitor. Rear seat passengers can use the 7-inch LCD monitor, which can be installed in a special frame in the front seat headrest or as part of a tilting viewing kit. In this set, thanks to the appropriate suspension system, the monitor can be installed in the most convenient position for the observer. Thanks to the wide viewing angle, rear seat passengers can view the screen, and the device can work with game consoles, DVD players, TV tuners and VCRs. The main units come with accessories such as wireless headphones or a directional antenna that automatically selects the strongest TV signal.

If you have modern equipment, you need to pay attention to its proper use. In winter, in severe frosts, before starting devices with a liquid crystal display, you need to warm up the interior, because such displays do not “like” sub-zero temperatures. High temperatures are dangerous for the amplifier, which generates a lot of heat during operation.

All devices that absorb the attention and vision of the driver have a negative impact on safety. Therefore, it is very important that the control of audio or video equipment is intuitive, large keys and located within the reach of the driver's fingers perform one or two functions. In modern vehicles equipped with digital data buses, the installation of the radio must be carried out using a special adapter. This inexpensive device allows you to avoid interference with the operation of the on-board computer from the radio.
