Gone are the big boom-box stereos that used to take up the entire boot space, with their mega-bass and sub-woofers.
Today’s car audio style is sleek and small, with palm-sized devices that look tiny compared to a six-stack CD player.
It’s time to ditch the CD collection and streamline the interior of your car with digital downloads and MP3 players.
The Kenwood KIV-700 USB Digital Media Tuner (around $599) is one of the best standard-level stereos on the market at the moment, with a rear USB interface ready iPod/iPhone direct connection with included cable. With technology like this, connecting your phone to your stereo enables you to carry out your calls through your car stereo system – a must for gadget lovers or for those making business calls on the road.
On the lower end of the scale, a good option is the JVC KDR416 USB MP3 CD Receiver with front AUX ($199). It’s got the basics covered and is one of the most reliable on the market – an excellent choice for those who want to plug in the iphone and go.
Remember, with any special additions, talk to your car insurance provider to make sure your gadgets are covered.
