car audio

Vehicle audio is equipment installed in a car or other vehicle to provide in-car entertainment and information for the vehicle occupants. Until the 1950s it consisted of a simple AM radio. Additions since then have included FM radio (1952), 8-track tape players, cassette players, record players, CD players (1984), DVD players, Blu-ray players, navigation systems, Bluetooth telephone integration, and smartphone controllers like CarPlay and Android Auto. Once controlled from the dashboard with a few buttons, they can now be controlled by steering wheel controls and voice commands.
Initially implemented for listening to music and radio, vehicle audio is now part of car telematics, telecommunication, in-vehicle security, handsfree calling, navigation, and remote diagnostics systems. The same loudspeakers may also be used to minimize road and engine noise with active noise control, or they may be used to augment engine sounds, for instance making a smaller engine sound bigger.

    Why does my radio cut out?

    Hello, me again! I’m beginning to despair that in 2023, in a car that can almost drive itself, I can’t be sure to complete a trip without the radio conking out?! It then won’t change stations from the selected favourites and I find it distracting trying to deal with it! What/how/why etc can it...

    Volume buttons do everything but control volume

    You hear your favourite song on internet radio, you press the volume up (steering wheel or dash control) and you loose the song forever... I use internet radio without an app that I can't control from the car. I guess the car doesn't always know there's some music on? The volume buttons change...

    Just seeking feedback from people who have upgraded their car audio. Did you add an amplifier and did that have a negative impact on the battery? I have replaced all speakers in the car with infinity but the sound is still quite average. I am thinking about adding an amplifier and under-seat sub...

    Possible update for the car audio system?

    I saw this over on the book of face and haven't had a chance to test it myself as of yet so proceed with extreme caution if you do update your audio system yourself. The screenshots suggest that the filename is older, but the actual update file has a newer date than what is on my car. No idea...
