Guide to Compare Car TV Systems Before You Buy

A car television system consists of 1 or more television screens that are installed directly in the car in order to provide on-the-road audiovisual entertainment. It is not unusual for new cars to come with factory installed mobile video systems, but if you have a vehicle without a television system, you may choose to purchase your own and have it installed. When you shop for a car television, you will find that there are many different styles, manufacturers and installations to choose from. In order to choose the best system for your needs, automobile and budget, follow these guidelines for how to compare tv systems for your car before you buy.



    1
    Make a list of the features that you want for your car tv system. Prioritize the importance of each feature on your list.
        Monitors. You may choose to have just 1 monitor or multiple monitors.
        Installation location(s). Common installation options include headrest monitors, center console monitors, sun visor monitors, dashboard monitors, in-dash monitors and overhead (ceiling-hung) monitors.
        Screen features. Television screens for automobile installation come in a variety of sizes, from 6 inch (15.24 cm) headrest monitors to 20 inch (50.8 cm) overhead flip-down monitors. Additionally, you may opt for a swivel screen, LCD screen, widescreen or plasma screen.
        Video player. The most common option is DVD, but you may also choose to install a satellite for television reception and/or a video game system that you can use for videos and games.
        Audio. Some mobile video systems come with built-in speakers, but you may decide to install surround sound for a richer audio experience.

    2
    Set a price range. Do this before you start comparing, so as to quickly weed out all of the systems that fall outside of your range.

    3
    Conduct an Internet search for car television systems and mobile video systems. This will return a plethora of options.

    4
    Write down every system you find that meets your desired specifications, and that falls within your budget. Be sure to include the manufacturer's name and the model number.

    5
    Compare tv systems on your list.
        Create a grid, or spreadsheet, with the model name on the left and all of its features listed horizontally and to the right. That way you can see how each system stacks up in comparison.
        Search the Internet for reviews about each of the systems on your list. If you find that 1 or more of the mobile video systems on your list has especially bad reviews, cross it off and move on to the next one. Reading reviews should help you get your list down to a manageable size.

    6
    Contact the manufacturers of each remaining system on your list and ask for retailers that carry the models you are interested in.

    7
    Shop around for the best price. Once you are down to only 2 or 3 comparable systems, price is likely to be the determining factor when it comes down to which system you decide to purchase.

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.
