Before the invention of the MP3 player, car owners added music to their drives by packing kazoos in the glove box and always picking up hitchhiking orchestras. Listen in with today's Groupon: for $70, you get a car-stereo auxiliary-jack installation at Auto Styles in Clearwater (a $139.95 value).
The certified technicians at Auto Styles trick out transports with gizmos including alarms, navigation systems, and stereo equipment from Pioneer, Kenwood, and JL Audio. In about an hour, an experienced technician installs a hardwired FM modulator behind each radio, which connects with MP3 devices and neighboring cars’ tin cans by way of a 3.5-millimeter auxiliary cable. This electronic tether helps tunes flow freely from iPods and other devices through the vehicle's existing speakers. While vehicles requiring an antenna adaptor will incur an additional cost, Audio Styles guarantees the quality of their work with a lifetime warranty on all audio-installation labor and band recommendations.
