To maximize your car’s audio, there’s our first step to up grade head unit (hu), especially on cars that have not been down from the year 2000 comes with cd player. In addition to replacing hu, hu we can also utilize the standard by adding a cd changer (audio sound), the benefits of this tool can accommodate more than hu single disc cd usual. To have more budget, we could also buy a hu (audio cars), which already features the usb / mmc, or who are ipod ready.

In the next stage, we can replace the car’s audio speakers (car sounds) standard which is usually congenital car with a split coaxial type. The difference with coaxial, speaker split equipped with tweeters and a passive crossover, so the vocal sounds produced by the car sound more leverage.

To further refine your existing car sound sound, try changing the audio cable standard car with a larger, namely the size of 16 awg. Of course this will maximize the distribution of power from the hu to the existing speaker device.

So choose the appropriate audio with audio sound device existing car speakers if indeed we do not have enough funds.

Chevrolet Cruze cabin silence seemed less able to ward off intruders or sounds of friction tires. But General Motors had a pretty genius way to overcome the problem ‘general’ is.

“We can set the audio volume to be increased automatically according to engine speed, so faster faster car audio sound,” said Harry Yanto, Product Planning and Bussines Development Manager of PT General Motors (GM) AutoWorld Indonesia, on the sidelines of a test drive Cruze in Bandung, Tuesday (09/03/2010).

Rumble of the tires started to infiltrate the home of tires when a mid-size sedan was driven over 100 miles per hour. The voice sounded good by the passengers in the cabin, front and rear, although only faint but quite disturbing.

Along the audio volume suddenly increases. The more the gas pedal is pressed, the more the volume increases but not to be noisy due to remain proportional for automatic audio volume settings can be in a position other than off the medium and high.

“Like other GM products, Cruze computerized audio system and is connected to the engine and transmission controller CPU which we call the GM LAN. So can automatically adjust to each other,” explained SA Pradana, Product Planning Officer GM Indonesia.

On the other hand bring the impact of sophistication was quite cumbersome. For example, to install LCD monitors or GPS, until now GM Indonesia has not found a car entertainment device of the brand and what type of LAN systems can berintegerasi with Cruze.

Likewise, if you want to replace the head unit or CD with a capacity of six discs changger. Cruze users are less satisfied with the standard device, have to wait patiently while the recommendations of the GM Indonesia.

“We’re still waiting for input from China, because there after sales Cruze there first, there should have been the result of next month. When we invent a new separate tests we recommend to consumers,” added Harry.

sometimes we feel the saturation on a standard car audio system and want to try to install a new audio system itself. but when the installation is complete, tmbullah a new problem, which is “storing”. storing other sound is the term (which is not desirable) that go into car audio systems. storing bebrerapa could happen due to factors such as:

1. lack of ground on which we connect the audio system.
2. quality spark plug wires are bad / leaking.
3. wire electrical system of our car audio systems have a poor quality or too small in size.
4. audio cable (RCA), whose quality is bad.
5. Ignition cable car that is damaged (usually older cars).
6. car battery that is damaged / soak.

to deal with the problems sometimes people feel dizzy to finish it and at the same time confused. STEP 2 but there you have to do to ease the process of “solving” this problem. among others:

1. note the age of the car. if the age of the car more than five years, first check the body and ignition cable car.
2. mobi note the body, whether experienced or not rusted. If so then you need to fix it, because sometimes the installers take ground / negative car battery from the car body.
3. Do not miss checking the battery, check whether the battery is less ari (for wet batteries), do not forget to clean the positive and negative battery terminal dar dirt, abrasives with fine sandpaper if necessary.
4. check whether the grounding cable from car battery to the car body still in good condition, add the ground of the new system when needed.
5. note the cable car spark plug carefully, do not let anyone peeling and leaking, if tenuous then reinstall the spark plug wires correctly.
6. if the above conditions are good enough, then you need malihat material quality of the audio system itself.
7. check whether the ignition cable is good and suitable amplifiers. power amplifier with 500W power 2 channels requires a cable with 10 AWG minimum size and so on, the greater the power amplifier, the greater the required cables.
8. audio cable (RCA) can sometimes be the factor that most determines the outcome of an audio installation, so try using a cable of good quality, usually have a coating / protective good.
9. keep the audio cable car system from the electrical cable cars, it aims to minimize the possibility of electromagnetic induction that can interfere with sound quality.
10. separate between the audio input cable to the amplifier, amplifier with electrical cables.
11. trim cabling that is not well insulated, with good insulation and will reduce the risk of knsleting that can happen.

If your car audio system is experiencing this problem try STEP 2 above.

Car audio becomes an important one in your car. Without audio, driving would be tiring and boring. Now as a complement to the car’s audio, you can use the FM modulator.

FM modulator functions as an MP3 player in the car. MP3 modulator can be worked with using the flash or memory card. If you have a collection of songs on the memory card, can be directly played by this tool.

Results in a clear voice and not the dashed when the shocks. MP3 modulator is equipped with a remote control to make it easier to replace or rewind songs.

How to use the FM modulator is quite easy. You just plug into cigarette lighter sockets in cars. If you want to replace the car, stay off it and plug into the cars that want to use. Easy to use and you do not need to garage the car for installing / removing the audio of this car.

Modulator MP3 price USD 70 000

Since it was first launched earlier in the year 1972, BMW 5 series is one of BMW’s best selling model. Current BMW 5 series have been recorded even up to 5.5 million units sold worldwide.

Now to connect the success of this model, the BMW also presents something different and new in the BMW 535i, BMW 528i and BMW 523i Executive which today has just launched PT BMW Indonesia.

“On the front line of attractive designs can be seen in the hood. This is something new and make new BMW 5 series so much character,” said Regional Area Sales Manager Jentri Izhar on the sidelines of the launch of The All New BMW 5 Series at Plaza Senayan , Jakarta, Thursday (17/06/2010).
