What are the frequencies / bands radar? X, K, Ka, Ka narrow range and is frequently used encodings different police radar. Same frequencies are used single all over the world and usage is the same. Radar waves are moving in a straight line and this is taken into account the location of the device in the car.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle – center->
What works, Laser-radar (LIDAR)?  The laser operates in principle the same way that the radar does but for distances less than (below 150m). Greatest chance of being warned in time, is when the police try to register the car in front of you if you are already warned when you got your car laser detector, have very short time to react once the device in your car . warns.

What is photo radar? It installed an automatic device which will measures the speed street, take a picture no. license plate on your car and then they will send a fine home. Whatever the device manufacturer that is above, he knew that you can have a radar detector. Pt. that have made photo-radar to work on very small distances, knowing that such radar detector and then you will have no time to react (30-45m) or about 1.5 seconds to 60Km / H. Your detector and you can refer your car in front passes by a photo-radar.

Why are issued warnings even if it is not any police car in the visible? A radar detector is basically a microwave receiver. In today’s modern world there are many sources of microwaves. Automatic systems for opening the doors of supermarkets, various alarm systems, towers for antennas. Cell phones can be detected and interpreted falsely as issued by the police car. You can eliminate most of them passing on the workings CITY (city) on the highway. A detector that has referred the matter any false signal certainly is damaged.

Why is the VG2 is undetectable – All radar detectors emit a low level signal that can be intercepted by a detector VG2. Basically a VG2 radar detector is a detector and is used by police officers to. detect cars that have installed radar detectors (where their use is not permitted). A radar detector that is undetectable VG2 has a special circuit or change the frequency detector radar detector or temporarily stop while it is scanned by a detector VG2.

What is alert VG2 and why it’s important to have one? Police may have VG2 detectors that can detect a radar detector in your car. Option VG2, your detector warns you that a cop is nearby with a radar detector. So you need another way to be informed that nearby there is a police officer using VG2 detector. If you are near (to a length of 4 cars) one other car with a trap will receive a false alarm VG2. The only situation when they receive false alarms VG2!

Positioning the speakers – I have seen many, many audio installations that have invested a lot of money but were far below results possibilities purchased equipment. To get the most out of your system and even to get what you want without having to buy expensive equipment you should give lots and lots of attention to positioning the speakers-with particular attention to some basic rules.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle – center->
First, I learned that experience is best to spend your money on, expensive speakers for the “front” of the car, not the back. Think and you want all the quality and dynamic front, right? How many concerts have you been where you sat with his back to the scene? And more, because they are close, you have the bonus of more volume and less consumption.

The human ear is able to locate the position in space of sound sources, such as a speaker. This is accomplished by a simple calculation of the brain: the time difference between sound reception by one ear and the other. So to get a balanced sound and effective “surround” speakers need to be at equal distance from the ear, that is equidistant.

This is why so many modified cars have speakers, tuned in angle, installed in places around the foot, the best place for their location in front to ensure equi-distance. Speakers factory installed in these places do nothing than to lavish sound to his feet, so to avoid this will require their placement in front but angled so that you direct the sound to the interior compartment.

Where can if desired separated components as mid range sites (circles) and high to be tied with, their fitting remote location will trick the brain and sounds will not be precise and “surround the” affected. The best thing would be to mount a tweeter and a woofer to 6 inches apart, coaxial speakers mounted woofer and tweeter in the middle is the ideal solution.

BAS! Everyone loves bass. Bass is not directed, that you can mount a subwoofer about anywhere and have the same result. In fact why find a particular mounted subwoofer can be placed anywhere: fixed the floor behind the seats, in the trunk behind the rear seat, anywhere and all are heard, what counts is to be positioned head up.

Location of the speakers (top and oriented face to the front doors), a pair of speakers MB Quart 5.25-inch (2-way coaxial) related to a amplifier and a 12-inch subwoofer connected to amplifier sounds simple but will ensure that you wont make a fool out of yourself. The efficiency of a car audio system is the final link on the installation of sound: Price of output – the car speakers. Alpine ensure that the signal emitted by the central unit of the audio system reach the ears of the container intact and undisturbed.

The benefits of Houdini Automotive Escape Tool

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

We’ve already told you three months ago about Houdini’s Escape Tool. Now I found a nice review about it. The gadgeteer tested it and they presented us how to use it correctly.

Julie used a 5 x 5 inch piece of glass and she admitted it wasn’t so sexy as testing the tool in a real vehicle. After that she said:

The Houdini Pro has a window breaking tip just like the non-Pro tool. The only difference is that the Pro tool is easier to handle since it is larger, and you don’t have to remove any parts to use it. To test the window breaker, you place the tip on the glass and push down. The spring loaded tip will depress and then a point inside it will pop out with enough force to shatter the glass. It’s very quick and easy to do. It does not require significant effort. I think even a child could probably do it if instructed properly.

Now, let’s see how the piece of glass looked after Houdini’s Escape Tool did the master job. Completely shattered.

I hope you will all understand the benefits of such a magnificent car gadget. I would like to put it next to the other four gadgets that you need for a safe road trip and about I wrote few days ago.

Enjoy!

What you really need for a safe roadtrip

Friday, February 6th, 2009

How long do you prepare a road trip for? How many times have you had unexpected troubles with your car, with the police (because of breaking the speed limit), with your dirty car (because you couldn’t find a car wash in your way and the license plate wasn’t visible) or just because you like to drink a little bit over the limit? The answers varies a lot between never had problems and yes, I always have problems, I should be more careful in planning my road trip.

I will tell you now what you really need for a safe roadtrip.

Protect your hands when driving

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

I’ve met people who had big problems because of cuts. It’s true, they didn’t have problems because of something the steering wheel grip did, but because of something knives or other strange objects did. Just imagine how many bacteria there are on the steering wheel or on the gear shift. You have no idea. The bacteria cause most of these infections.

I won’t start to tell you my medicine theories, but i will tell you how to protect your hands when driving. These particular, fashion and funny gloves are made from 100% polyester with acrylic resin grips. The gloves have been tested for comfort and fade resistance.

Key2SafeDriving aims to stop teens from using the phone while at the wheel

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Don’t you just cringe when you see someone sending a text message while driving? And if you’ve got children you can probably picture them doing the same and causing an accident… not something you’d like to happen.

Researchers at the University of Utah have designed a system to prevent that, called Key2SafeDriving.

The key is actually a device that connects to a cell phone via Bluetooth or RFID, blocking texting and calling the moment the engine is started. In addition to this, incoming messages are automatically answered with the text “I am driving now. I will call you later when I arrive at the destination safely.”

While the invention is still a prototype, it could be on the market within six months at a cost of less than $50 per key plus an unknown monthly service fee, according to the university.

If everything goes as planned and car manufacturers adopt the device, it could also serve to lower car insurance.

Heat up those cold mornings with a battery powered ice scraper

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

One of the perks of having is car is not freezing your ass off on the street/bus in the middle of winter. One of the downsides is having to clean your car in winter. Even if you don’t have to dig it out of a big mound of snow, if it’s cold outside it means the windows will be frosted… and you don’t want to spend too much time on them, do you?

The Cordless Heated Car Screen Ice Scraper is meant to make an unpleasant activity shorter, if it can’t make it go away. It needs 6-7 hours to charge from the mains and 3-4 hours to charge from the cigarette lighter socket, but it will work for 20 minutes on a full charge, more than enough to scrape all windows clean. It even comes with a LED to let you work in the dark, if you’re one of the unfortunates who have to go to work before there’s even light outside.

Retails for £24.99, which might or might not be too much for your comfort.
