The Best Interior Accessories & Gadgets For Your Car

I love the inside of my car, it's completely customized to the T of who I am, what I like and what I wanted. For example, for my 30th Birthday I decided I wanted to get a replica Shelby GT 500. I know replicas aren't the same as the real deal, but maybe when I'm 40 I'll have an early midlife and get a real one. In the meantime, I decided to rip out the old seats (oh I hear the screams!) and put in black leather seats with grayish stripes around the seams. I like black and grey and black and silver what do you want me to say!

I also added some more modern gadgetry as well - such as a better system and speakers for my car audio, and mobile video for my front dash, which looks really cool by the way. I wanted to add GPS, but it simply wouldn't fit with all the "original" accessories added on the car. I get a lot of people that get in my car and they are thoroughly impressed, not only because of the car, but because of all the extra stuff I put in it. I might be nuts and I'm sure I'll have a few car enthusiasts raising hell - but that's the thing, it's MY car so I can add whatever options I want, as can you! If you want big 13" sub woofers with vented enclosures, you can have that.

You really have an array of options not only when it comes to a variety of products in your car, but outside as well. Go crazy!

What Need To Have Accessories Should I Have On My Car?

A lot of people are simply happy with the way their car is when they buy it from the dealership, but some of us actually enjoying adding accessories and products to our cars that weren't available from the manufacture of the car. This includes everything from car audio to mobile video - depending on what your personality is like, what kind of car you have, and what kind of products you are looking for. Some people don't like the speakers and car audio they receive when they buy their car so their first priority is to start looking at systems and speakers.

Other people want all the latest and greatest products and gadgets inside their cars. My dad is like this, if it sings, he wants it. If it got great reviews in Car & Driver, he needs it. Recently he got a mobile video installed into the backseat of his SUV and he absolutely loves them. Says they keep my brothers busy for hours - which is good for any kind of road trip!

How Can Mobile Video Benefit My Car?

Picture this - its mid-summer, your children are off school and you and your significant other have packed everyone into the SUV and are on the supposed road trip of your lives. Most of us know that kids and cars, simply don't mix. But on this particular trip the kids have been quiet as could be. You and your mate have even had a few quiet conversations, you got to listen to the radio for a while, and you don't have the usual headache. Sound too good to be true? It's not! What we are talking about here is the new technology better known as mobile video.

This is a really cool way to entertain the kids, or anyone else that might be in the front or rear seats. This cool little car audio accessory allows you to place video screen in the car. You can either place these right in the dash, and the seats, or you can use an under the seat component, which is more like a DVD player that is portable than anything else. Not only is this a cool invention and incredibly useful, but you can also get headphones as well which is great because then the driver and passenger won't have to hear the tunes to Little Mermaid for the 500th time that week!

This is great for road trips that are going to make you be on the road for hours at a time or you can use it for the x amount of minutes it takes you to get to the grocery store. To check out some of our mobile video and car audio products, please visit our website at www.PyleAudio.com

How To Choose Speakers For Your Car Audio

Most people actually DO care about the sound quality that comes out of their speakers and their speaker system, so if you want to find the best car audio for your car it's best that you try to follow some really simple guidelines to help you out along the way. First off, it's important that when shopping for speakers that you know what quality and voltage they are. If you aren't sure then you need to ask someone from the store because different voltage aspects are going to give out/off different sounds.

Also, if you’re into a lot of gimmickry, it's also important that you take a look at the various options and components for not only your car audio, but your car in general - each piece is ultimately going to personify your style. So look at things like bass (if that's important to you), being able to choose various sounds like classical, rock, country, rap, etc. Also, choose from mobile video options (watch videos in the car!) and neon lighting with is just an after affect. It's all about "show" rather than having any real function to your car besides making it look cool!

Lastly, it's important that you stick to your budget. If you can afford to do so, and find a system that is a little above what your budget is, maybe it's a good idea to spring for it this one time, especially if the speakers are of good quality! A lot of blogs such as ours will have a lot of information about the speakers we have in stock as well as various reviews and information about the products, so you really should be able to find THE perfect set or system for your radio.

Am I Allowed To Have Neon Lighting On My Car?

When it comes to certain things you might place on your car, some states do have laws. For example, in some states you cannot have tinted windows. Whereas in other states you can have tinted windows, such as in Florida, but the tint has to have a certain clarity. While we might think these laws are dumb, they are actually put in to use for a good reason. When it comes to neon lighting you also will need to look up the laws in your specific state. I know in my hometown of Pittsburgh PA, this is illegal.

You can still place them on your car, you simply cannot drive with them on. In this case, neon lighting is mainly for show. I know we have one town called Mt. Washington up at the Look Out, and if you go there at night on a Friday or Saturday you will see ten cars lined up all parked, with their neon lights on! It’s pretty cool to see and to have on your car. Just make sure you follow the laws! Other more conventional items such as car audio and mobile video may also pertain to certain laws in your city or state too.

For instance, for something like mobile video, you may only be allowed to have these screens in the backseat rather than the dashboard. Or with something like car audio, you might not be allowed to raise your volume on your system panel to a certain level. It's always best to just follow the laws where applicable!

Dukes of Hazzard Horn? Here are the Best Car Audio Accessories and Products!

If you have a nice car, chances are you want to soup it up as much as you can. What are the basics though? And how much is too much when it comes to car-bling? In my opinion, too much of something is non-existent when it comes to your car. Well, I take that back. If you get a horn that toots the theme from The Dukes of Hazzard - then you have gone TOO far man! Other than that though - you have so many options in front of you, it's crazy to say that there is too much of something.

I mean you can choose from car audio options like XM radio, CD players, DVD players, speaker systems, sub-woofers and amplifiers. Then, you get into visual products and you have GPS and mobile video and blu-ray! You can actually watch TV in your car (but not while you drive…!) You can play video games and watch movies! Ah! You also have cosmetic options too (outside of the car) like racing stripes (major drool-age), neon lighting (all kinds of different colors like red, orange, yellow, green, blue), spoilers, rims, carbon fiber hoods.

Oh great, see what you did! The point is, it doesn't matter what car you have, or what options you want, you can go as crazy as you want to go - in fact I hope you do! Just try to ditch The Dukes of Hazzard idea, okay?!? Even if it's a General Lee replica!

Taking A Road Trip With Your Family? Kids Getting Antsy? Take A Look At this Mobile Video Package!

This is one of the newer options that you can get put in your car - it's an actual "TV" screen. It's not huge by any means, but it can be used into coaxing your kids to stay quiet when you are going on road trips! I have two of these for my boys, they sit in both of the front seats headrests. They both can watch whatever movies or shows they want, and when they get a little older I'm thinking about adding some video game consoles to the seats as well. Should be cool. This doesn't by any means mean you should stick your kids with the TV Nanny.

But if you have a lot of "are we there yet" questions going on every 5 minutes, this can be an awesome way to keep the kids busy. Besides this isn't a "get out of my hair" thing. This is more of a "need to concentrate" thing. Now you can concentrate on the road instead of screaming in the rear view mirror! Even if you don't have kids, you can use car audio options such as mobile video for your car - you can even place one in your dash which would be super cool - just make sure you only "watch it" when it's the proper time!

Once your kids grow up you could also consider adding even more car options to your "cool mobile video" as well. One of the things I always thought looked awesome on a car was the neon lighting under the car!

Taking A Road Trip? Take A Look At These Car Audio Accessories!

Ah I love road trips! Destination... anywhere! Sometimes it's just nice to get away from everyday life, roll down the windows or take the top down, and just drive. Along with the sensation and excitement you get from road trips though, you absolutely have to have some tunes for the road! Some of the best music (depending on who is in the car with you) is stuff like Born to be wild by Steppenwolf, Highway to Hell by AC/DC, Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf, and Tom Petty’s Free Fallin'.

Yea I like the old tunes what can I say! Free Fallin' totally gets me going! Hopefully you or your road trip buddy has a nice car audio system for the trip though! Nothing sucks worse in my opinion than a crappy system - one that sounds dull or "vibrates". Yuck! Another cool thing to have in the car are these mobile video "televisions" they have in cars nowadays. These are actual screen that you can place in the dash or the headrest of your car - your passenger can watch TV, play video games, or watch movies.

Now THAT is the life! One of my favorite "souped" up options on a hot car (not a hatchback kids!) is neon lighting on the undercarriage of a car. Sweet! A car is a car is a car. But add in some nifty and really cool accessories and you have got a machine worth showing off! So get your show on the road and visit www.PyleAudio.com!

I Want To Upgrade My Car Audio - What Should I Be Looking For?

When it comes time for you to (finally) upgrade your car audio and or media options, there are a few things you will want to make sure you take a look at. For the most part, when you are ready to upgrade your system you will probably be paying a pretty penny to do so. But this is okay! I always believe in the "you get what you pay for" saying, and in this case it really hits home! If you buy a cheap $45 system, chances are it's not going to sound very good at all! It probably won't last for very long either.

Cheap systems like this oftentimes get their speakers blown out in a few tries! Save your money and buy the real deal baby! But if you buy a $400 system it's going to not only look "pretty" but sound pretty as well! You should know that car audio doesn't just include the audio system and two speakers, it's oh so much more than that.

A few of the things you should be looking for in order to find the best system for your car are things like speakers with full range, car sub-woofers, satellite radio, blue-tooth, fold out screens or mobile video options, iPod receivers or adapters, component speakers, quality amplifiers, and other "options" as well. Of course you don't have to get ALL of these products, but if you are going to be upgrading your car audio, these are a few items you should be looking for when choosing a quality system!
