Car infotainment systems have changed a lot over the years. More than a simple radio with local stations, many cars have screens integrated into the vehicle’s design, so you can play any song you can think of while making your morning commute. But if you really want to get the most out of car infotainment systems, how do you get started?
Know Your System
The first step in making the most of car infotainment systems is taking some time in your car before you hit the road to explore your system’s capabilities and understand how it works. Not all systems are the same. Some offer different features and levels of functionality, so it’s a good idea to get to know your system while your car is parked and you can switch your songs seamlessly, without creating any dangerous distractions from the road.
Some things to check include
- Input Methods: While in older vehicles you might have looked for a CD or cassette tape player, in today’s world of car media systems, you’ll need to find out if your system supports Bluetooth, USB, or aux cord connections.
- Equalization: The factory defaults may not be your favorite, so try experimenting with the bass and treble for the richest sound on the road.
- Compatibility: Many car infotainment systems offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connecting your smartphone to your vehicle for a seamless, integrated experience.
