A Little bit of info about Dension & iPod car kits

When you first read the title of this blog, I know what you are thinking. You are probably thinking that I will supply you with a big catelogue with what the new upcoming Dension iPod car kits are, aren’t you? See, I knew it but I WON’T. You can hopefully check the catalogue in the main company site of Dension. So, what is the purpose of listing them down all here? It’s no use at all.

Rather in this post, I will just tell you a bit about what the latest community developments in Dension. By the way, did you know that Dension was founded by the Lukasz brothers? Yes, it was in the year of 2001 in Budapest. The sole motive of Dension Audio Systems Ltd at that time was to provide an easy-to-operate, nearly visible car audio interface by which you could integrate your MP3 player with your car radio. It was all about HDD, whether removable or stand-alone, for car tuning or such, and I daresay, they were gaining over the market slowly and steadily. But I don’t not many people knew of Dension at those initial times. They had a small limited market and they were marketing through their handful number of dealers and distributors in the most profitable centres of the world.

But it took a sudden turn for the better. In the year 2003, the world saw the launch of iPod Touch. And it sent a wave of iPod craze all over the world. And Dension Audio Systems worked on developing one of its kind iPod car audio interfaces, an iPod car kit that people would not only love to use but would recommend to others as well. The breakthrough came with its unique series of Dension ice>Link Plus iPod car kits. To be honest, I worked with a part of a dealership during that time, and I was in the customer service department of the Dension dealer company. So, you can pretty much understand that I had to deal with customers who were the first hand users of Dension iPod car kits, and they were overwhelmed at the superior quality of the products, a complete value for their money. In the meantime, Dension brought out iPod car kits for almost all kinds of car brands out there, starting from Kia to BMW. You name it and you have it with Dension. In fact, most of the customers rendered very positive feedback about the product (and also about the way I support them as an executive…lol).

But you see, with the advancement of technology, Dension had to make some vital changes to its framework as well. At the moment, it is focusing more on Bluetooth and video integration. Have you got the iPhone or a DVD, Dension will help you integrate it with your car radio. Dension says that they like a challenge. Dension wants you to let your imagination run wild and whatever your wish, Dension will fulfill it. Dension wants to let the music be with you always, wherever you go. And no doubt it is proving itself every way.

Are Apple set to inadvertently Conquer another industry?

No Its not a new product from apple, but it is their biggest collective seller. The iPod / iPhone is set to conquer another market, Inadvertently.


There's an old saying “success comes with success” Unless I have just made it up? (But it makes sense anyway) The success of the iPod has increased the power of apple as a brand, obviously with some careful guidance from the company management too. It seems that every man and his dog have some form of an iPod, whether it be a old school 1st Gen Nano a new 3rd Gen iTouch or the iPhone 3GS. A large portion of the market belongs to apple, with loyal customers willing to upgrade when new products become available.


The Size of the iPod market is HUGE and not just for apple, companies are always developing new products or systems to work with or on the back of it. This only strengthens Apple as a company. A New market that has emerged over the past 5 years is the iPod to Car market. It makes sense when you think about it. A lot of us have an iPod, Nearly all of us have vehicles and I'd say 99.9% of all of us love music, which ever music genre your into. Add them together and you see a new area that apple are inadvertently conquering.


Most people don't think of their vehicle as an entertainment system, or having an entertainment system installed in it. But its not a new trend. Not so long ago, the only entertainment option in your vehicle was a radio, often receiving a below standard signal, playing music at the discretion of the producers at the station however it was a great option to have at the time. The Next Big thing was the development CD. Albums and singles from various artists can be played at your leisure (and still are) making longer journeys seem much shorter, or at least more enjoyable. Now its the turn of the iPod.


Ipod car kits are a new wave in vehicle entertainment. We have never had so many options as to how we listen, and what choice of music we listen to in the car. The aftermarket ipod kit market is already strong. Companies like Dension have been producing kits to integrate ipods into the vehicles factory fitted stereos for the last seven years. Growing year on year as the trend becomes more popular. Other aftermarket vehicle entertainment solutions come in the form of stereos such as Alpine, of Sony. Who are now producing iPod / iPhone (and radio) only stereos.


The success of the these companies and the growing trend in general have encouraged vehicle manufacturers to experiment with ipod car kits into their own vehicles, more and more new vehicles are offering these kits as an optional extra on purchase. Specifically used to drive sales for specific vehicle brands. However these kits are usually overpriced and often use the same software / hardware as the Dension equivalent, in fact more often that not it is actually a Dension Kit unbranded.


So being masters of mobile music industry allows Apple to control other areas of business without realising it. So if you never even thought of the idea of playing music in your car from iPod or iPhone or never realised there was a iphone car kit available to do so. You will know all about it soon, in fact I dare say in two or three years time all vehicles will have some form ipod car kit installed for your entertainment.


iPod Car Kits are the next generation in vehicle entertainment. Control charge and play your music and videos at the touch of a button, Or control from the iPhone and use maps and other apps from the comfort of your driving seat. Get your iPhone car kit from ipodcarkitdirect.co.uk

My first iPod Car kit - The Dension Gateway 500

I was OVERWHELMED! It was a Dension iPod Car kit, really cool. Well, that was the very first one. So, you can understand that I was quite in love with it. To be honest, I was not going to get it. I was expressing my disappointment over having to receive calls every now and then for work, to my sister, and it just **** me off, when I had to use phone while driving. It’s not that I can’t handle a simple phone call when I am driving. But I fall into the category of those people who really enjoy driving and when I get inside my Saab Convertible, it becomes a whole new world for me. No one, just my car and me… well, that’s what I was lamenting to my sister some day and the next day, she bought me this Dension iPod Car piece.


But honestly, I just hated the installation process. I was never good at mathematics, and God, I was a technophobe. I just hate those hi-tech stuffs that have wires coming out from every side of them. I just get so confused on where the red wire is going or the black wire connects. And I am pretty sure I have many friends, readers here who think the same. They are good with affiliate marketing business, they like being the financial analyst but figuring the wires and chips are never their cup of tea.


Here, let me tell you something. My brother helped me a lot when it came to installing the Dension iPod Car kit, but most helpful was that short simple manual guide that we got from the supplier. It was real quality. It told you in step-by-step process, how to dissemble it and then assemble it, all in an simple way a newbie can understand.

Well then again, I just love my Dension iPod car kit now. It is sleek and fashionable, and I just boast about it to my friends. It just suits my personality. Style meets style! But apart from that, how can I deny the legal rules that I have to abide by, in US or most countries. You cannot use a mobile phone while driving. No, let me rephrase that. You can use a phone. But you cannot with a phone with your ‘hands’. No, you are not supposed to use them with your legs. Okay that was a bad joke.

But it sure is dangerous. But after getting that cool Dension iPod Car kit, I not only added some character to my style (that’s what I think anyway!), it just made it so easy for me to receive phone calls while driving via the BTA1500 bluetooth module. It has some cool features. I just have to cycle through the options using the vehicle controls and it will load all of my contacts for me.

Recently, I saw there has been some updated products. Perhaps, I will get myself the newest Dension iPod car kit very soon…lol.

iPod car accessories are useful for long journeys, car accessories for the iPod can range from protective cases, to protect against scratches and more serious damage. Through to fully integrated iPod car kits which provide a digital connection combined with iPod and music control through the stereo / steering wheel adapters and charging facilities.

One of the taxi drivers in London even got pointed and tried in a court just because he received a call for a little over 10 seconds while he was driving a passenger. Is it ridiculous? Perhaps, it is. But then again, it is DANGEROUS to focus on your cell phone while you should rather be focusing on the road, keeping in mind the increasing number of road accidents every year.
