Whether navigating city streets at the height of rush hour or the wide open countryside on a sunny day, the road can be long...and with young passengers on board, even longer. But, no matter how endless the trip, you can stay entertained and keep the peace in the backseat at the same time with some simple and affordable electronic upgrades. If you still have a cassette deck in your car or truck, this article is for you.
Electronic upgrades range from simple to highly complex, but the best upgrades require almost no installation. And, the number one upgrade hailed by parents around the world is a headrest monitor. The current thinking regarding kids and television is that less is better. But on a long drive, in an enclosed space, where escape is impossible, who among us isn't willing to compromise? Today's headrest monitors feature a range of LCD screen sizes that offer a bright, bold picture with a wide array of input options. In addition, many systems feature a set of monitors that work independently of one another, keeping everyone quietly entertained. With simple installation and a sleek look that matches the shape, fabric and color of your stock headrests, car monitors make a valuable and attractive upgrade to your car or truck.

Many units even feature a built-in car DVD player, eliminating the hassle of cords running throughout the cockpit or batteries that die after only a few hours. The wiring is conveniently hidden behind the headrest post for a seamless appearance. Many of the car DVD players currently on the market also feature innovative touch-screen controls, easily reached from the car seat without having to unbuckle.
So, with the kids occupied, why not enjoy the trip yourself? Take your entire collection of music on the road and do it without installing an expensive new sound system. If you're still using cassettes, you'll be disappointed to know: even CDs are a thing of the past now. But, with an iPod car adapter, you can plug your digital jukebox right into your car stereo in one of two convenient ways. The first is with a simulated cassette that attaches to your iPod through a thin cable and plays the audio signal as though it were a tape. But if wireless is more your thing, you can also purchase a small FM radio transmitter that broadcasts the signal from your iPod straight into your car's antenna. iPod car adaptors provide the highest possible fidelity and feature the added bonus of charging your digital music player at the same time. Simple to install and even simpler to use, these quick and affordable solutions will have you rocking out in no time, and at a fraction of what the dealer would have charged for something similar.
A word of caution: don't be tricked into a lo-fi iPod FM transmitter. The sound will be riddled with distortion from interference and make your music sound flat and layered with static. For the best possible result: upgrade to a digital iPod car adaptor, delivering each note in crisp, clear, CD-quality sound.
