Guide to Choose a Monitor for Satellite TV Reception in Your Car

Having access to movies and videos while on the road can provide a mode of entertainment for passengers in your car. Watching television while in your car is possible as long as you already have access to satellite reception. You do need to have a good monitor to enhance the overall viewing experience. There are several types and styles of monitors available on the market, including models that can be permanently installed as well as portable models. Here are some suggestions on how to choose a monitor for satellite TV reception in your car.




    1
    Select a backseat headrest monitor if you want to mount and permanently install units within the headrests. This format will provide multiple monitors in your car for each passenger in the back seats. Backseat headrest monitors tend to be smaller and usually do not include the option of a DVD player, which is installed separately in a different region of the car.

    2
    Go for the overhead, flip-down monitor if you want to install the unit within the ceiling of your car. The design allows you to fold them away when they are not in use. Overhead, flip-down monitors are available in several sizes as well having the option to include a DVD player.

    3
    Choose a front, in-dash receiver with a built-in monitor if you would like the convenience of having both a navigation system and a monitor to watch movies comfortably located within the front region of your car. Front, in-dash receivers offer the option of retracting into the dashboard when not in use in addition to having AM/FM radio tuners.

    4
    Think about a sun-visor car monitor if you are looking for a monitor to provide entertainment for your front passengers. This model offers integrated DVD players as well as a selection of screen sizes. Sun-visor monitors are available for both the passenger as well as the driver's side areas of the car.

    5
    Consider a universal car monitor if your car already has audio visual capabilities in addition to satellite TV reception. If you only need a monitor that is portable and have a separate DVD player already installed then this is a possible option. Universal car monitors are portable and are not meant to be permanently installed within your car.

    6
    Get a removable, all-in-one car video system if you need portability and do not want a permanently installed system. This type of system has both the monitor in addition to the DVD player. You can carry this type of video system with you and temporarily install it in your car when needed.

    7
    Know that monitors are also available if you are looking for a backup camera for your car. This type of monitor will provide you with a clear view of the area behind your vehicle while you are backing up. This is a good, safety feature to have for preventative measures and to avoid accidents.

    8
    Evaluate your needs to help you decide which monitor is the best product for you. Consider your lifestyle, family size and what type of vehicle you have. Also take into consideration the cost to purchase a monitor in addition to installation charges.

    9
    Watch the daily and weekly sales flyers in your region for good deals to try to get the best price. When you are ready, make a trip to your local electronics store or get online to purchase a monitor for satellite TV reception in your car.

guide to Power a Car Amplifier Using a Computer Power Supply

If you recently switched vehicles and have no room for that big subwoofer in your new car, don't give it or throw it away. Keep it. Use it inside or outside your house by having it powered by a computer power supply.     1     Find the power pin. In the power supply packaging (if bought new) there should be a pinout diagram. Look for the pin that says something along the lines of “Power on”, "PS OK" or other key words that indicates a on signal. It will be on the biggest pigtail.         99% of the time it will be a green wire on new power supplies, but for older power supply “10+ years” the wire could be yellow or purple. If your power supply did not come with a pinout diagram, check the manufacturer website for a pinout diagram.     2     Cut the power wire from the pin and strip the end.     3     Cut the ground wire from the pin and strip the end. Refer to the pinout diagram to know which color is the ground wire. 99.9% of the time it will be t

Guide to Get LoJack for a New Car

"LoJack" is the trade name for a wireless radio transponder the size of a deck of cards that can be installed in a motor vehicle, either at the time of purchase or at a later time, to discourage the vehicle from being stolen. When a LoJack-equipped car is reported stolen, the police activate LoJack's inaudible tracking signal, which can penetrate tunnel and garage walls, ship containers, and dense foliage. If you're planning to buy a new car, you may want to consider buying a LoJack system.     1     Know whether LoJack coverage is available in your area. LoJack's radio signal requires special computer equipment to be tracked; not all police departments have the appropriate equipment. A list of counties within states where LoJack coverage is available is given at http://www.lojack.com/Buy-LoJack-Products/Check-Coverage, and is also available by calling 1-800-456-5225 (1-800-4-LoJack).         The telephone list is usually more current than the website list.
