Tips for Getting the Hottest In-Car Gadgets Without Buying a New Ride

NEW YORK, Dec. 16 -- When it comes to buying a new car, the term "options" means a whole lot more than power windows and locks. These days, carmakers are rolling out models with highly advanced electronics gear. More than ever, car manufacturers are luring customers with cool, cutting-edge electronics, including systems for navigation, satellite radio, DVD video, back-up radar, and surround sound.

According to the Consumer Electronics Association, consumers can visit their local mobile electronics retailer for the latest cutting-edge technology. By the time most gear gets offered as a new-car option, your local mobile electronics store is already selling a more advanced version of the product. To ensure a safe, reliable, and attractive installation, experts recommend consumers use a certified pro to put in any high tech equipment. Look for retailers whose installers have the "M-E-C-P" certification, and always ask to have an m-e-c-p installer work on your vehicle. Enjoy the ride!!!! For more, go to www.yourrideyourway.com
