According to the Consumer Electronics Association , this year the expenditure after a car-stereo systems is expected to drop by 28% compared to 2006. This includes CD changers , speakers, satellite radio and other after-add-ons. Today, 16 - to 24 years are not as concerned about the sound quality, it seems. A recent survey indicates that nearly 50% say the OEM-installed stereo is pretty good. Hooking up an iPod to an FM transmitter is cost-effective, portability and music is most important. So what can revive the industry?
Interestingly, most parts manufacturers are already producing iPods and MP3-compatible systems that are generally more powerful and more features than what comes standard in cars. They are also relatively cheap. One obstacle that we see is that manufacturers are designing stereos integrated in new cars. Take for example the Mazda3. You can not simply replace the stereo, all of the centre console should be deleted, and it would be unwise beyond with a post-bridge in its place. We will also admit that stocks stereo sound generally better today than it was 10 years ago. We'd also guess that become accustomed to the sound of a 192 kbps MP3 - against higher-quality music from CD or even 320 kbps MP3 - could make a stock stereo sound "good enough".
Although the numbers are declining, after the industry predict a resumption in the near future. We suggest you find devices that can work with the stock systems start marketing and the benefits of better sound quality.
