5 reasons why you need an iPod Car Kit

In todays environment where gadgets are considered so important, the easiest question to ask is can you live without an iPod kit, NOT if you can live with one!

iPod kits started out in 1999, Dension were the first to produce one and are still the market leaders. Back then, the kits were very basic – only allowing a simple audio connection. Dension developed them further, adding features as they went along. Before long, the kits charged all iPods on the market and then moved onto starting to look at being able to control the iPods from the radio.

Control of the iPod from the radio or steering controls was a tough one, Dension found that the easiest way of doing this was to let you use playlists and select them using the radio preset buttons (1-5). This evolved further, bit by bit, until we have what we consider to be a fully functioning kit now with the iPod being able to be FULLY controlled from the stereo. Gone are the days of playlists controls (although if you really want to browse your iPods playlists from the car you still can). The days of iPods being controlled via artists, albums, podcasts and pretty much every way possible, are now here.

Here are the reasons why you shouldn’t be without an iPod kit:

· Have your entire music collection at your fingertips while driving.

· No need to keep messing about flicking through CD’s while your eyes should be on the road!

· Entertain passengers with their choice of music without bringing a bag full of CD’s.

· Keep yourself relaxed on your long journeys listening to the music that you want to listen to.

· Make use of “add-ons” like Bluetooth adapters so you can connect your phone to your car stereo and make and received hands free calls, Video Output adapters which will allow videos on the iPod to be played through the car stereo and cradles and new cables to allow for a personalised installation.
