New Car Audio Stereos From Pioneer For 2011

Designed to meet your needs, the MVH-7300 and MVH-8300BT are designed specifically for you and your preferred multimedia form. Unlike prior stereo models that have been limited to the good old mp3 player, the MVH-7300 and MVH-8300BT can tap into various multimedia forms, including:

- SD Card,
- SDHC card (large SD cards at 32gb),
- USB,
- And Portable Aux in multimedia sources.

The 7300 also can access DivX video playback from SD or USB sources, making it a stereo that encompasses all modern entertainment capabilities.

The new MVH series also benefits from a full colour TFT screen, which can be tailored to your own style, using the background and colour scheme changing function. Not only does it offer you ultimate style, the front slot allows you to slot your SD or USB in and play MP3 files, WMA and i-tunes AAC files.

Pioneer do not relinquish quality in favour of style as they have advanced their stereo quality by including an Advanced Sound Retriever, which restores the details of music that is often lost in compression of files, enabling you to still get high quality sound music without taking up all your space on your iPod. Plus, an 8 band equalizer allows you to adjust the music according to your preferences. Pioneer have also made it easy for you to build your car audio system bit by bit by adding high volt pre-amp outputs for external speakers and subwoofers.

Technology wise, the new Pioneer range is pretty neat, as it can access content, apps and videos through a connected iPhone or iPod touch using App mode. App mode enables you to listen to internet radio, access games, videos and musical instrument simulators. The MVH-8300BTmodel also includes Bluetooth Parrot mode, enabling you to listen through the speakers whilst speaking through the external speaker.

New Car | Getting Better Fuel Economy

If you have recently purchased a new car or truck, you are probably keeping track of the gas mileage. Are you getting less than what was posted on the sticker? The fuel economy number posted on the sticker is based on a certain drive cycle and in certain conditions. It does not necessarily match your drive cycle. What it does allow for is easier comparisons between different makes of cars because they are all tested to the same test.

This information was good to you when you were deciding on which new car or truck to buy but what you need to know now is if you are getting the best fuel economy you can from the car you did buy. There are certain things you can change about your maintenance schedule and your driving style to ensure you are getting the best fuel economy you can from your new vehicle. Purchase the gas octane rating that is recommended in your owner's manual. Your car's engine was designed around this octane level. You do not need premium gas if your manual does not recommend it. It will only cost you extra money and will not allow your car to deliver premium results. However, if your car does require the higher octane level, then make sure this is the gas that you put in every time you fill the tank.

Make sure your tires are inflated to the recommended tire pressure. Tires that are under inflated have a higher rolling resistance and therefore require more energy, i.e. fuel, to keep them rolling forward. Also keep your engine maintained. Do not pack items on the roof of your car. If you do this, the wind resistance will go up, and you will use more fuel. Also, do not carry items in your trunk that you do not need on your journey. Too many people use their trunk as extra storage space. The extra weight will require you to use more fuel. Finally, keep your car well maintained and get it inspected at least once a year. If you do need to go to a dealer to get something repaired, the Internet is a good source of information when trying to find a reputable local dealership.

Negotiating Your New Car Purchase | Buy a New Car

First, before you even consider going down to the dealership, you must do your research. What kind of car do you want? What features are you looking for? What models will best fit your transportation needs? Then, after you have narrowed down the playing field, you have to find out the current going rate for your dream car. This means visiting a variety of websites to compare costs and get a feel for how much you will be expected to pay for your new vehicle. Printing out the different listings may be helpful, as you will want to be prepared and have an offer that the dealership can meet, should it be willing to do so.

Before even considering purchasing a vehicle you should obviously take it for a test drive. During the drive, pay close attention to the interior and to how the car handles. If anything seems off, if the interior is damaged in any way, or if the car doesn't live up to the expectations set by its description, these could be negotiating points that will influence the price of the vehicle. After amassing your research you should have a pretty good idea of where you want to start, as far as a dealership goes. Begin with the one that offers the best deal. When you arrive, a sales professional is sure to offer their services, so go ahead and tell them that you already know what you are looking for and would like to see the car that you have chosen

If you are happy with the way the test drive goes, all that is left is negotiation. Of course, this can be a lengthy process. Many dealerships will match competing offers, so start there if you have found a great deal in another location. If you don't have a specific price that you are comparing your own purchase to, make sure that you stick by a fair price that you have developed through your research and through reliable car value resources, such as Kelly Blue Book.
