Remote Access

I almost forgot- 



This radio package also included a remote control so that the passenger can actually stay safely seated while changing music or answering the phone hands free!

Dash Radio Features

We had this radio on our "Wish List" for the many features that it has.





We were able to get "Hands Free" integrated so that it will work with both our phones.




It came with a microphone that has been mounted so that we can safely talk on the phone without having to find where I have placed either phones.




It also plays music from our phones.  I am using it to play downloaded music from Google Play instead of using my "data plan".  The music sounds so much better on this stereo!

Lighter, Lighter...Who's Got a Lighter?

Do people really smoke anymore? I hae not used one of these except to charge a cell phone...







...and we decided that this wasn't working for even that purpose...so we decided to replace it while we were re-doing the stereo.

It turns out that you can now buy a USB plug that will almost fit in where a cigarette lighter goes. (A Dremel was used to make the hole a bit larger.)




You can also get them as dual plugs and even as fast charger plugs.

I am very happy with our new dash enhancement!

New Tunes

Our radio was the original radio.


It definitely was not up to our standards so I had a new dash radio on my Christmas List.

Santa evidently decided that I was on the "nice" list because he brought us this...

The biggest problem is that he forgot to leave the "Installation Elf" behind to install it during the bad weather.



It has now been installed and I am surprised at the difference it has made!
