Mobile Movie Theater
Why wait to get home and watch your favorite movie or concert on DVD when you can do it while stuck in traffic? It's also a great way to keep kids occupied on long trips with movies and video games. You wouldn’t know it by looking at the dashboard, but with the push of a button the color screen pops-up and you have a movie theater in your car complete with surround sound. The new Kenwood DNX-8120 Multimedia DVD Receiver1 is an example of a higher-end mobile theater system. Pass the popcorn!
Dual-Zone Audio/Video Operation
Many systems offer Dual-Zone operation so the passengers in the front can enjoy one source and those in the rear seats can enjoy another. Many also feature headphone jacks in the rear to prevent interference between programs.
Multi-Disc Changers
Don’t bother storing your CD’s or DVDs. Load them into your car’s multi-disc changer and keep an entire library of discs ready to enjoy in your car. Here are a few examples of multi-disc changers from Pioneer (Compare Prices)2, Kenwood (Compare Prices)3 and Alpine (Compare Prices)4.
HD Radio and Satellite Radio Tuners
In addition to AM and FM, you can enjoy HD Radio7 and/or Satellite Radio, either built-in or by adding a tuner to the system. HD Radio (Compare Prices)8 and XM (Compare Prices)9 or Sirius (Compare Prices)10. Satellite Radio offer better audio performance and clearer reception than AM or FM, in addition to more programming choices.
USB Ports
It was just a few years ago that USB ports became standard fare on PCs and laptops, now the front panel of many car entertainment systems have a USB connection. With the USB port you can play your music collection stored on a USB flash drive, or connect an iPod, view its contents on the front panel screen and control it from the front panel of an in-dash receiver.
Rear View Safety Cameras
Typically used in recreational vehicles, many automobiles have rear view safety cameras that give the driver a clear view behind the car while backing up. The lives of many children have been saved because of rear-view safety cameras and countless bicycles and skateboards have been spared from being run over.
Bluetooth Hands-Free Cellphone Adaptors
This feature is just in time for the new laws11 in many states that restrict or forbid hand-held cell phone use while driving. The phone connects to the system via the USB port and the phone can be controlled on the in-dash receiver’s front panel. The phone can be answered by touching a button on the front panel and the phone’s contact list can be viewed on the display. When the phone rings, the audio system automatically goes into Mute mode. Even the phone’s signal and battery level appear on the receiver’s front panel display.
Remote Control
If you thought the coffee table in your living room was cluttered with remote controls, check out your front seat. Today’s mobile entertainment centers come with full-featured remote controls to make system operation easier– Just what we need, something else to distract drivers.
Garage Door and Security Gate Controls
Some vehicle entertainment systems have optional switches to permit control of garage door openers, security gates, or home lighting systems. When you pull in the driveway you can turn on selected lights in your home.
Rear DVD and Video games
Rear seat DVD systems can be found in vehicles ranging from 4-person sedans, SUVs, pick-up trucks, mini-vans and more. Many customers are also opting for connections to connect video game consoles for serious, and not so serious, gamers to challenge each other on long road trips.
In some vehicles with 3rd row seating, rear-seat DVD systems often have dual-channel capabilities that enable passengers in the 2nd row to watch different programming from those in the 3rd row of the vehicle.
Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Radio
XM & Sirius Satellite Radio allows listeners to connect to music, news, sports, talk radio, comedy, and even radio drama. In addition, XM and Sirius broadcasts local weather and traffic conditions in its larger markets.
There are currently several types of receivers available to consumers:
Plug and Play receivers: The receiver snaps in to a base unit, which provides power, antenna, and audio connections. Multiple base units can be installed in the home or car, and portable boom-box style units allow the plug and play receivers to be used outdoors. This is typically the least expensive option. Examples include the Xpress line, and the Delphi Skyfi.
In-dash receivers: These are integrated with a car's stereo system. Many factory stereo systems include XM or Sirius radio, and the more popular aftermarket stereo brands all have options to connect satellite radio receivers.
