This exclusive, full-featured security and alarm system is specifically designed to protect your convertibles and other soft-top vehicles. This system not only prevents vehicle theft, but also provides an invisible layer of protection to the inside of your vehicle, even when your soft top is folded down! Its also a GREAT addition to vehicles with windows rolled down and open sunroofs. What makes this system ideally suited to the convertible and other soft-top vehicles is the plug-in radar sensor which detects any object (such as an arm or hand) reaching into the vehicle. Sensitivity and area of coverage are easily adjusted to prevent false alarms. Sensor is small enough (1-3/8 x 1-3/4) to be inconspicuously mounted on console, tailgate or fold-down windshield visor. Includes all the features of a traditional security and alarm system. Switch sensor senses voltage drop when doors are opened or interior lights go on. Dual-stage shock sensor detects the slightest impact to your vehicles body and attempts at entry. Includes two 5-button transmitters to arm and disarm the system. Programmable to allow manual arming with the transmitter or automatic arming. Can be programmed to automatically lock or unlock the doors when ignition is turned on or off. Six on-board relays for parking lights, starter disable etc. for easier and faster installation. When triggered, the 6-tone siren sounds at an ear-piercing 125db and parking lights flash for approximately one minute. Alarm functions and settings are confirmed by LED, siren chirp or flashing parking lights. RF safety lockout prevents false alarms. There is also a valet control switch for valet mode or programming various alarm features.

In the U.S., German-based Navigon may be the biggest name in gps you’ve never heard. Navigon has long been a major provider of navigation software to automotive manufacturers for in-dash gps navigation devices, but only recently did they introduce portable navigation devices under their own name. What they offer up, however, demonstrates immediately that this is a company that knows navigation inside and out. More about Navigon Navigon…James Navigon The first thing you notice about the Navigon 7100 GPS Navigator is, well, the Navigon 7100 GPS Navigator. It’s beautiful. It’s the kind of device you’d expect an international spy to have in their rocket car. It’s less than an inch thick, and its shiny black casing will go well with just about any car interior. Paying the same attention to every detail, Navigon’s included car mount raises the bar even higher, with a design that is not only easy to use, but echoes the 7100’s in a way that makes device and accessory become one, adding a touch of style and elegance to any vehicle’s interior.

This powerhouse GPS unit just keeps gaining in popularity. Recently bestowed the honor of being named one of “Oprah’s Favorite Things for Holiday 2004″ it’s just getting better and better every year. With the previous version of the RoadMate 700 lacking in included accessories this years RoadMate 700 hits a home run as Magellan has wisely included in the package a windshield suction cup mount, a 12V DC vehicle power adapter, 110V AC power supply, USB data cable, universal cradle and of course a user’s manual. The Magellan RoadMate 700 offers a powerful dash-mounted navigation tool with turn-by-turn voice prompts, making it easy to get to new and unfamiliar locales anywhere in the lower 48 U.S. states and Canada (For a fee it can be loaded European maps using the Magallen web site and the included USB connection cable). It also features a bright color TFT LCD screen (2.25 by 3 inches), touchscreen input, WAAS reception (for 3-meter accuracy), and multiple ways to select your route and then view it on screen. True View 3D navigation shows you the actual road layout. The RoadMate 700 is one of the few GPS devices that’s ready to go as soon as it’s unpacked. Its whoppingly huge 20 GB internal hard drive comes preloaded with detailed road maps for all of the U.S. and the southern (most populated) section of Canada, so you won’t have to fiddle with selecting map regions from a CD-ROM and having to transfer the data from a PC. If you keep your addresses on a PDA with IrDA capabilities then you’ll enjoy the RoadMate’s ability to upload the addresses wirelessly and point you right to your destination. In fact each of the 3 profiles that the unit keeps track of is allotted space for 100 addresses, making a to (more…)

The nüvi 250W comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and features an ultra-slim design. The widescreen version of Garmin’s nüvi 250 offers a large, easy-to-read screen (4.3 inches diagonally to the nüvi 250s 3.5 inches) at an attractive price point.

If all you don’t need Canada and Alaska, you can get the nüvi 200W at a lower pirce.

This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push. Smart, Powerful Design The nüvi 250W is built with a high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for (more…)
