A Different Upgrade

Some of the frequent visitors of my blog would have realized but for those less frequent readers, there is not a single post on this blog except for one that I remember mentioning about audio related upgrades. The one entry would be about the touch screen installed on the Celica. The main reason for my lack of writing in this department is because not only am I not a fan of it, I actually dislike it. Mainly because of the lack of advantage that I can see from such upgrades. Nevertheless, this is the first time and hopefully the last (keeping fingers crossed). 

So, if you remember from a recent blog entry regarding the trusty, old Toyota Vios in my house has been deemed necessary for much needed make over. The paint job and fix up were just part one to the plan. My sister, the current driver, apparently is a fan of bass songs that requires good speakers to have that surround sounds and also all the modern input sources such as USB and Bluetooth connectivity. I do have to admit that an entertainment system on a B-Segment car would be very basic especially back in 2003 when it was first launched. After 7 years, the speakers are bound to sound worst than when it was new and certainly CD was the only option needed. 

Hence, the need to bring this car's entertainment into the year 2014. In between the trips to and fro the workshop, the Vios was bought to this accessory shop. First a touch screen with CD/DVD, Bluetooth, USB, AUX and radio function. Next up, the front 4 speakers were replaced with some German made speakers while the 2 on the rear with Japanese made speakers and that is about it since it did not have much to begin with. Last but not least, a new rear view camera for reverse is installed. It is possible only now thanks to the nice touch screen. Now it can go really loud sounding just like a cinema with surround sound and definitely can hear every bass note now.
