Popular Electronic Upgrades For Cars

By Chris Channing

MTV fans aren't the only ones who are constantly looking to "pimp out" their cars. In fact, the car electronics industry is quickly becoming one of the biggest end user industries for obtaining upgrades for vehicles. From DVD players to air horns, the amount of options a consumer has is rather staggering.

The most basic of all car electronics is the car alarm. The proper car alarm will be able to ward off attackers who would want to do damage or steal items in the car or even the car itself. To protect against such tragedy, car owners should always obtain a car alarm first. Even if one doesn't have the best looking car of them all, even a sub-par vehicle is quite costly should it be stolen.

DVD systems are quite popular in home electronics, and they are just as great in the family car. There is no better way to stop the inevitable phrase "Are we there yet?" than to have a DVD player installed in the back seats of cars. But even other places allow for DVD players- such as steering wheels and even one's rear view mirror!

Avoiding an accident, such as in the case of the car alarm, is important for car owners. Although it wouldn't seem to handy at first, the HID lighting systems available today are almost necessary for those driving in rural areas. These HID lights are brighter, cleaner, and more efficient- meaning they will be better in avoiding animals and pedestrians. They also look great compared to traditional lights- which gives credit to one's reputation.

Not every upgrade is for entertainment or safety- as with the case of the GPS devices hitting the market. A GPS device is the perfect electronic solution to losing one's sense of direction. They are good for trips, vacations, and to generally have around if one lives in the city. Today's GPS devices are fairly cheap, and allow for complex 3D viewing angles and feature thousands of maps already preloaded.

Lastly, electronic air horns are all the rage in the customization scene. It is genuinely unique to have air horns fixed to one's hood. Although this look isn't for everyone, it certainly brings out nice features in bigger vehicles such as an SUV or truck. Some large cars, like the Cadillac, also do well with being fixed with such a horn.

Final Thoughts

In the end, there are too many options in car electronics to cover such a vast topic in one sitting. Investigating the different types of entertainment, functionality, and help that comes from such electronics is vital for the avid car enthusiast to get the most form their car. If nothing else, an electronic car alarm should be obtained so as to keep an investment that has been made in one's car. And in the end, it's not always about many features one can stuff in their car- but to choose the right ones (No one really needs a DVD screen in the rear view mirror do they?).
