[(Wish Bone)]
You know nothing come easy, you gotta try real real hard, I tried hard… but I guess I
gotta try harder.

[(Akon)]
I try so hard can’t seem to get away from misery
man I try so hard
will always be a victim of these streets
it aint my fault cuz I…
tried to get away but trouble follows me
and still I try so hard
hoping one day you’ll come and rescue me
but until then, I’ll be posted up right here in sleet hail snow
but until then…
I’ll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough

Wanna experience Bone Thugs N Harmony and Akon’s live concert while driving your car? No, I’m not kidding! Just say yes, and I’ll tell you how. So, was that a yes?

Ya know, this kind of technology is easier heard, than done, literally. It took Bentley Motors in partnership with British audio manufacturer Naim Bentley some 18 months to complete its research and development for this in-car sound system.

Engineers from both companies worked together just for this high quality sound system — the world’s most powerful sound system unit and certainly the best one for your car — the Naim Audio amplifier. Fasten your seat belts for here we go.

Naim Audio amplifier features a 1100-watt amplifier with 15 speakers, depending on the model though. It is equipped with tiop-of-the-line technology systems such as a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Dynamic equalization that produce what I’ve been telling you a while ago — an “as-live” in-car audio experience. DSP has eight modes to choose from relying upon your type of listening ezperience: the driver optimized, Digital Media playback through MP3, iPodTM players and digital radio, balanced, Spoken Word, Classic, Enhanced, Classic and the rear-optimized.

In a press release published at autoblog.com, Bentley Motors Chairman and Chief Executive Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen said that Bentley really has the reputation of giving the ultimate experience to its customers.

“It is this experience and philosophy which led to a simple brief: to deliver the equal of the world’s finest home hi-fi within a car and hence create the world’s best in-car sound system,” Naim Audio Managing Director Paul Stephenson, said in agreement.

Keep the music playin’ man!

Remember those days when you would still equip your car with a car stereo, a cassette player or CD player plus speakers that come rolling towards your position even at a slight rocking of your car bumper?

Well, car entertainment need not be that cluttered. Innovators have made entertainment a lot simpler and high-tech with the Clarion FB278RBT. According to zercustoms.com, this entertainment system comes with a built-in Bluetooth audio streaming and Bluetooth handsfree calling technology. This way, you can communicate while driving via the Bluetooth receiver. You also can at the same time play your favorite music stored in your mobile phone. If you prefer the music from your MP3 player, Clarion FB278RBT has a secure digital (SD) card located just behind its control panel.

However, if you’re the type who loves listening to the radio, Clarion FB278RBT features 18 FM stations so you can tune in to the music of your choice. Also, it comes with an AUX plus a 2-channel audio pre-out. Moreover, it is capable of 4 x 50 watts amplification.

Clarion especially designed the FB278RBT with a “Metal Shark” appeal with its indirect lighting that complements its 728 variable color display and white acrylic arched buttons creating a fin-like image on the device.

This state-of-the-art car entertainment system is available in the market for only £149.00. A good deal for a quality and high-class entertainment, communication and safety system while driving toward your route.

According to ibiblio.org, there are four types of drivers on the highway - the slowpokes, the slow drivers, the fast drivers and finally the tailgaters. I would like to believe those are self-explanatory matters. My point here is, whether you fall in any of those types, you surely will enjoy this latest gadget called the BlueAnt Z9 bluetooth headset while driving.

The Z9 is the leader of the latest Bluetooth generation that features two built-in microphones, voice isolation technology and a clip that allows more convenience. It has a 2.402 to 2.480 GHZ frequency and has a transmission range of 33 feet.

It can be used with more than three peripheral Bluetooth-enabled gadgets at the same time in a 10-meter radius. Using the headset’s combination knob, it is capable of switching from cellphone (a Nokia N93 or a Nokia 6500) or any compatible music player for up to five hours using the BlueAnt Z9 lithium polymer 3, 7 volt battery. It can last about 200 hours of standby time. Energy-efficient, isn’t it? That matches the quality of an Acura Legend tornado fuel saver.

The BlueAnt Z9 Bluetooth headset symbolizes simplicity and style. Weighing only 9.9 grams with a dimension of 4 centimeters, this headset acts as sound filter, resulting to a clear reception of the user’s desired sound.

BlueAnt is the largest supplier of Bluetooth peripheral devices in Australia. Using the latest type of Digital Signal Processor, BlueAnt produces wireless communication products with top-of-the-class designs and features.

The BlueAnt Z9 BlueTooth Headset bagged last year’s CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award. CES is considered as the world’s biggest consumer electronics show.

Currently, the Z9’s price ranges from $59.99 to $84.95.

Bongiovi, one of the known names in acoustics, teamed up with JVC so as to be able to create the KD-S100. This one has been actually based on the KD-SH1000 which is marketed by JVC.

There is not much hullabaloo with the KD-S100 for it can be easily installed in a vehicle just like how you would install a normal unit. It has a USB port and has an SD card slot so you can play your files with this audio system. There is an iPod connector which comes as an option but this does mean that you can plug in your iPods if you would choose to avail of that connector.

I do find this car audio system to be fairly unique. Well, not really as unique as maybe being designed so much so that it rides on the roof rack but who really would want their audio systems to be on the roof?

So you think you would like to own this unit? Sure you do. But take note that even if you do have the cash to own it, you only can purchase it through auto dealers and most of the time, you can get it only if you get a new car. Okay. So it’s that exclusive, if you know what I mean. But I guess, its “exclusivity” may have a good reason so just in case you’re getting a new car, then just make sure you have some money extra to get this cool audio deal.

According to researches, about 41,000 people are killed due to car accidents in America each year while more or less two million suffer from injuries.

Regardless whether you’ve driven for decades or have been on the world’s most risky highways, let me tell you this: any time, you could join the statistics. All you need is to relax - get rid of your alertness while driving. Either talk on your phone or get carried away by the music on your iPod.

Shocks and all those parts you’d be damaging in an accident! I could almost see you getting rid of all your car gadgets to maintain focus now. I said relax, relax…

With the XM 2007 Satellite Radio and XM NavTraffic services, you can now enjoy all these cool stuffs while securing your road safety. XM NavTraffic supplies data on incidents including accidents and road construction to your vehicle’s GPS navigation system via a device called the XM satellite pipeline. Using this device, the driver receives warnings about these incidents so he or she could go re-route to roads where there is less traffic.

A three-year subscription to the XM NavTraffic offers real-time traffic information indicating congestion levels through red, yellow and green color codes.

Aside from security, XM also provide entertainment with over 170 digital channel choices that offers commercial-free music, talk shows, traffic and weather information.

XM is the number one satellite radio company in US that has more than 8 million subscribers.
