Are you finding that when listening to music in your car, its volume often becomes unusable due to distortion or plain annoying? If this is the case for you, consider upgrading to a better system.
Audio upgrades can transform a standard car stereo into an amazing sound machine, as well as adding stylish displays and designs that complement its interior.
Safety
Car electrical systems require great skill to work with properly; any errors could cause irreparable damage and result in burns or electrocution if handled incorrectly. A professional installer knows all about your car’s electrical system and can perform upgrades safely.
Kenwood is a well-known Japanese brand offering car stereos and accessories of various types, with their single DIN aftermarket stereos providing the ideal balance of quality and cost – plus they boast many features that make them popular among car audio enthusiasts.
Some stereos allow you to connect devices such as phones or MP3 players for hands-free calling and music playback, while others feature handy touchscreen interfaces to manage navigation, phone calls and music playback remotely and in the car. Some even come equipped with backseat video displays or separate amps for better sound control – some aftermarket stereos even come equipped with AUX inputs, USB ports or source outputs that expand player options even further!
Efficiency
An aftermarket stereo can provide more sound control than its factory unit counterpart, thanks to features like AUX inputs, source outputs and other options such as backseat video displays, separate amps and powered subwoofers for enhanced audio/music experiences. Furthermore, premium-grade stereos may include useful features like digital time correction and parametric equalization for improved sound management.
Some aftermarket car stereos offer not only quality sound but also stylish designs to accentuate any vehicle interior, including customizable display themes and touchscreen models for an immersive experience. These features make aftermarket stereos an invaluable navigation device.
Upgrades can improve the driving experience and boost its resale value, but it’s wise to seek professional assistance for upgrades that are safe and effective. They can also assist in finding suitable stereos to meet both your needs and budget.
Reliability
Reliability is a term that describes consistency of measurement and performance in measurements or performances by devices, such as scales, tests and diagnostic tools. Reliability also applies to more subtle measurements, like whether an aftermarket stereo produces clear audio sound quality.
Aftermarket stereos come equipped with many features designed to elevate the driving experience, such as AUX inputs and source outputs to allow you to connect different player devices, Bluetooth capability allowing for hands-free call connection/control from mobile devices, or advanced security options like passcode codes to protect against theft.
Aftermarket stereos can be an economical way to upgrade the entertainment system in your car. But you should choose a shop with expert technicians familiar with both audio systems and vehicles – an authorized dealership can offer peace of mind that your upgrades will be installed safely and correctly.
Compatibility
No matter your music-listening tastes or desired features – be they HD and satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto – there is an audio stereo to meet them all. Some newer stereos even include built-in DVD players or touchscreen video monitors!
Dependent upon the stereo, you may require a factory wiring adapter (which we offer at a discounted rate with your new stereo purchase). This ensures that it will connect with your vehicle’s existing speaker system. Furthermore, your memory lead (usually yellow) should be connected to an uninterruptible power source so as to not drain your battery when switching off your ignition switch.
Make sure that you purchase both a fit kit and wiring harness before installing an aftermarket stereo in your car. A fit kit is a plastic assembly designed to connect with standard aftermarket stereos; its wiring harness plugs directly into unused terminals of the original stereo console; without this harness you must find and loosen bolt or screws that connect directly with bare metal chassis, then slip your ground wire (usually black) underneath before tightening them back up securely.
