Friendly Reminder: Handsfree While Driving is a Good Idea, the Law

Just a public service advertisement announcement that driving handsfree is the law in many states as of July 1st. And honestly folks, even if it's not the law, it's just a good idea.

350Z Owners Can Go Big, Thanks To Scosche

Scosche comes to the rescue of 2003 & up Nissan 350Z owners with the introduction of their new NN1647B installation kit. The kit is an ISO double-DIN unit that uses the factory bracket for a perfect fit, and matches the dash contour and color for a flawless factory finish.  You can pick it up for around $14.95 from your Scosche dealer, and don't forget to get the NN03B harness and NDAB antenna adapter!

Handsfree Is The Way To Be Pt 2: Video Showcase

With the new handsfree laws kicking in across the US, having some sort of mobile phone handsfree device is more of a necessary than just a cool accessory. A few weeks ago we told you about some of the cool new Bluetooth gear from Scosche and to help give you a better idea of how those product work, Scosche put together a cool video showing it action! I'm still a really big fan of the visor-clipped chit-CHAT speakerphone - it's easy to use, transportable, and a clean design.

Which do you think is the coolest of the bunch?

Handsfree Is The Way To Be!

OK, cheesy titles aside, the truth is we are moving towards a hands-free mobile world and not just because it's cool. We're doing it because it's smart, and more and more states are passing legislation that actually makes it illegal to talk on your mobile while driving without some sort of hands-free device. California's legislation goes active July 1st of this year, and Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and SoundDomain's own Washington state are soon to follow. There are a ton of options out there to suit anyone's needs-- headsets, speakerphones, complete automotive kits integrated into your car stereo -- it just depends on how much tech you handle (and how much you want to spend). One of my favorite integration companies, Scosche, has a pretty good selection that falls under all three types mentioned.

If you drive a 2008 Ford Escape, 2008 Mercury Mariner, or Mazda Tribute, and want a bit more from your factory system than you got from the factory, no worries, Scosche has you covered. The new FD1436 dash kit is just what you've been waiting for. The kit features a factory-matched contour and is available in both black (FD1436BLKB) or silver (FD1436B). The FD1436 is designed for ISO DIN or ISO double DIN radio mounting, and is designed to accept the factory HVAC controls to mount directly to the kit for a true OEM look and finish. The black kit ships in April and the silver started shipping in March and retails for $54.95
