USB Digital TV Tuner with GPS

Volar GPS, DAB, TV Tuner, Navigation, USB Stick

If you have or or planning to build a CarPC, you might want to consider this innovative little device from AVerMedia that combines GPS and a digital TV tuner into a single USB stick. You can use the functions individually, or thanks to a picture-on-picture function, you can use both at once. The stick includes a TV antenna and an external GPS antenna can be connected as well (sold separately). Of course, here at SoundDomain we promote safe driving, so please don't watch TV while driving! There are no immediate plans for this to be available in the states, but hopefully that will change. Of course,we can probably expect more devices like this to start popping up from other manufacturers as well... It's kind of how the gadget world works.

Product Sneak Peek: Audison Bit1 Processor

Audison, Bit1, BitOne, Sound Processor, EQ, Car Audio, Car Stereo

I stopped by the Audison booth at SBN and was privileged enough to get a sneak peek of the new Audison Bit1 processor. This amazing little black box is similar to the processing capabilities of the Rockford 3Sixty and JL Audio Clean Sweep, but oh-so-much-more. This unit is perfect for OEM upgrades where the factory radio is retained but the rest of the audio system is upgraded, but is also designed for aftermarket integration as well. Follow the jump for more pics and the pretty impressive feature list!

MB Quart's Unique Marine AV Switcher

MB Quart Marine, MB Quart Nautic, APC, iPod, USB, Audio Video Processor

We showed you Quart's new marine radio line a few weeks ago, and now they've released info on a new and really cool audio/video processing center (APC) for marine applications. Essentially, Quart is ahead of the game with this one, offering a single hideaway box that acts as a processing/switching center for a boat-load (pun intended, sorry) of different multimedia devices. The APC "Black Box" offers the ability to control MB Quart's marine component DVD player, marine component CD player, has an auxiliary input, USB input, is iPod ready, satellite radio ready, has a 50x4 built-in amplifier, and a front and sub RCA pre-out. It reminds me of Kenwood's ingenious KOS-V1000.

This system just makes sense for marine applications. You don't really need a CD player mounted up front if you have satellite radio and/or an iPod. The APC lets you or an installer choose the best location for the separate components, while still offering plenty of convenient control options. The simple round marine remote can be mounted at the swim ladder, the drivers seat, on a sun deck, or wherever works best. It offers an LCD display for track and program information, and can mount in some gauge openings, almost like it belonged there.
The larger Primary controller fits into a standard DIN radio opening found in most boats (and cars), but since it is a CD-transportless unit, you don't need to worry too much about moisture, heat, or vibrations.
My hat's off to MB Quart for delivering new innovative technology to the marine audio industry. Check out a bunch of pics, a pretty cool system diagram, and the press release after the jump.

WD My Passport Essential HDD is Kind of a Big Deal

Western Digital My Passport Essential Portable USB Hard Drive, car audio

USB is pretty much a standard input on many of the 2008 radios we saw at CES 2008. Some have a max capacity recognition of 4GB, but for those that have stepped up and removed the limiter, Western Digital's My Passport Essential Portable USB hard drive could be a great way to bring your entire music collection on the go. It features a pretty sleek and sexy piano black exterior with smooth edges, weighs in at 5 ounces, has an extremely small footprint, and gets all its power via the USB - no 5-volt power needed here. This "little guy" packs a 320GB punch and comes in at $199.99. That's a whole lotta storage for notta-lotta cash.
