If you are purchasing a new car stereo for the first time, it can be difficult to know what to purchase. This is because you will quickly find there are many different types available on the market. Once you decide on the stereo you want to buy, you need to consider the features you want. Below is information about three of these features so you can decide what will work best for you.
Smartphone Connections
You will find that many car stereos come with connections for you to plug in your smartphone. This allows you to charge your phone easily inside your car. This way you will not have to worry about keeping up with your car charger to keep your smartphone charged. The only thing you need is the cable you use to charge your phone at home.
In most cases, this smartphone connection will support both iPhone and Android phones.
Satellite Radio
Satellite radio allows you to listen to certain playlists that you choose. For example, you can choose to listen to only country songs or rock songs. Satellite radio also gives you the ability to listen to just about any radio station that you want in the United States.
You do have to pay a monthly subscription fee for satellite radio in most cases; this fee is generally very low. If you are not sure, ask the employee that sells you the car stereo and they can tell you who to contact if you want satellite radio.
Bluetooth Connection
Bluetooth connection is a technology that allows you to communicate with two different devices. For example, you can connect your smartphone to the stereo. Once you do this you can talk on your smartphone hands-free. You can tell the smartphone to call a certain person, such as "call Dave", and the number is automatically dialed. The person speaks through your car stereo speakers so you will not have to worry about touching your smartphone.
Bluetooth connection also give you access to the music on your smartphone. This means you can play the music you have on the phone through the car speakers. With some Bluetooth connections you can text on the phone using only your voice. You tell the phone to text a certain person, you speak the message you want to say, and then say "send".
Talk with the employee where you purchase your car stereo and they can give tell you information about other features available. For more information, contact companies like Audio Shack.
