Posted by Steve Laser on Jan 05, 2009 | Comments
I’ve been thinking about my drive to work. It’s one to one and a half hours each way. My factory car stereo, as most, is mediocre at best, so to make my drive more palatable I upgraded the speakers. It was pretty easy to do so, and not very expensive. I also installed a $30 Scosche FM modulator so I can listen to my iPod.
To install this I had to remove the receiver, plug the car’s antenna into the modulator,...
Anycom SCK-1 Solar Powered Hands Free Car Kit
Posted by Diego Samuilov on Sep 06, 2008 | Comments
I just got a tool that may be of great use to most folks. This is a little device that works as a bluetooth hands free unit, but the interesting thing is that it self recharges, well; actiually it recharges with a little help from the sun. It comes with its own mini-solar panel and when you leave it in the sun, the device will charge itself. I got it from CompUSA for only $59.99.
When I saw it, I though it looked...
i-Kit iPhone FM Hands-free car kit & FM transmitter
Posted by Jay Donovan on Aug 14, 2008 | Comments
I should probably let you know that I am the master of Jerry-rigging stuff. A few examples: I have a screw/ring that I use to tune one of the broken machine heads on my 1939 Johann Nurnberg double bass… I have two broken guitar pedals that that I use to balance and prop up the front feet of my 1970 Fender Rhodes organ (that is missing one of the leg extenders)… For years, I used a toothpick to...
The Santok SP-500 speakerphone

I am always looking for a better Bluetooth solution for my car and here is a cool looking hands free speakerphone that caught my eye today.
Besides its good looks, I was impressed with the location of the controls, the LCD screen and most importantly the pivoting arm, which can be positioned for optimum voice pick-up. The unit does feature Caller ID.
Check it out here at Santok

Review: ARKON’s Device Mounts and Holders
Posted by Diego Samuilov on Jul 13, 2008 | Comments
I have been reviewing and testing a few of ARKON’s new holder and mount models for a few days now and here are my impressions about them. This set of mounts that I got for reviewing includes some of their brand new designs as well as some of their all-time best sellers.
All of ARKON’s products that I received for review are made of a sturdy black plastic and no matter how much beating they took, they did not...

Look Ma, no hands!
Posted by Tim Hillebrand on Jun 18, 2008 | Comments
Remember what a thrill it was when you could first ride your bike without any hands? Driving a car is a different matter, and it’s a good idea to keep both hands on the wheel at all times. It gives me the shivers when I see a young mother with a car full of kids yakking on the phone. Fortunately, in some states it is against the law to talk on a cell phone (or text) while driving. This should be a matter of common...
