GM exec says sales slide finally over (#)

„I hope that people that buy import cars from contries whom we have trade deficits with are trying to counteract their deeds by working hard at buying clothes, PC's, stereos, furniture, tools, etc., etc., from American companies? If not then these idiots know nothing about macro-economics (take a college course), or are don't give a crap about America. We have enough ignorant and arrogant folks crossing our borders illegally, why don't you all just go back to mexico with them.“

Parts: The good, the bad and the bizarre - Auto Shows - Car and Driver November 2006 (#)

„Although we don't need the 14,000-Watt stereos or 15-inch subwoofers SEMA offers in spades, we were intrigued by Pioneer's latest and greatest that promises the kind of functionality and integration offered only in the most expensive of new cars. Its soon-to-be-released touch-screen radio/satellite radio/CD/iPod/MP3 stereo/navigation system with optional integrated traffic/DVD video player/hands-free Bluetooth phone enabler/everything but change oil AVIC-D3 should cost "less than $1500."“

Satellite Radio Goes Anywhere - Popular Mechanics (#)

„You can connect a satellite radio receiver with a line out jack to a car stereo system just as you would a CD portable with a car kit--provided the car's head unit has a cassette player. But an increasing number of car stereos feature CD players as standard equipment, making the cassette adapter solution obsolete. A professionally installed satellite radio receiver is one solution, albeit an expensive one.“

Eastern Standard Tribe » News (#)

„It is a system, currently in prototype state, that allows anyone to have their own radio station, broadcasted among wirelessly capable devices, some in cars, in an ad-hoc wireless network. The system can become aware of individual preferences and is able to choose songs and podcasts that people want to hear, on their own devices and car stereos and in devices and car stereos around them.“

Patrick Bedard - - Car and Driver - July 2004 (#)

„For Newark’s Letts, stolen headlights are merely “the current wave,” replacing airbag modules in popularity with thieves. For years and years before that it was car stereos. When I lived in New York City, I often saw hand-lettered signs in the windows of parked cars; I still remember the exact wording of one that was taped in an Audi 5000: “No Radio of Any Kind Inside—Already Stolen ...“

2005 Mazdaspeed Mazda RX-8 - Road Test & Review - Automobile Magazine (#)

„In Generation Y, silly things like war protests and civil rights movements have been tossed aside to make room for the important stuff. You know, vinyl graphics, huge blingin' dubs, and pounding car stereos. Whether you're drift-racing through the hills of SoCal or cruising South Beach, body kits and lowered suspensions are required, and you'd better be prepared to be made a fool of by some punk in a '92 Civic ...“

„Comment by norby413, posted on February16 at 2:56 pm ive rode motorcycles for 15 years (all sportbikes)now and do not believe loud pipes save lives, a proactive rider saves his own ass. besides with all of the quiet tuned cabins and loud stereos you would be a fool to think every car can hear you from miles away.“

2007 Lexus LS460L - Comparison Tests - Car and Driver January 2007 (#)

„But if the back seat is where you spend most of your time, then Lexus has its priorities correct. A comfortable ride, a quiet and scrupulously climate-controlled atmosphere, multiadjustable seating with Peltier cooling pads, and video entertainment with one of the best car stereos ever devised are at your disposal. So chill. You made the right decision after all.“

iPod interfaces in 73 million cars by 2011 - Autoblog (#)

„13. I like the way Pioneer has integrated iPod controls into its car stereos. Not too long ago, it was necessary to install a large CD-Changer in the trunk if you wanted to have a nice collection of your favorite songs with you. These days, all you need is an iPod which can hold lots more music than even the 50-disc changer that occupied half my trunkspace.“

Loud pipes beware - photo enforcement now targeting noise violators - Autoblog (#)

„The thing is, I think people should be able to have loud exhausts on their cars or bikes or have stereos. But a time limit (like 7 am to 11 pm or whatever) should be enforced. I can stand listening to my neighbors Camaro with its 454 and no exhaust (drag car) during the day but at night when I am relaxing, I dont want to hear it.“

Standard breathalyzers may become law (#)

„Why stop there? Let's also have heart rate monitors that will cause your car to stop if you get too upset (how many people die in road rage incidents every year?), brainwave-sensing helmets to prevent people from driving while drowsy, car stereos that can't be adjusted in any way if the vehicle is moving, etc.“

Play Your Digital Tunes In The Car - Popular Mechanics (#)

„Fortunately for consumers, the days of having to commit to one format are numbered. Kenwood's Bob Law envisions car owners one day downloading new compressed music decoders to their car stereos. Upgrading to a new platform through a USB connector or via CD-ROM could be here as soon as 2003, he says.“

NYC to install surveillance cams (#)
