Preventing Hyundai or Kia Vehicle Thefts

Guess what? Thieves steal thousands of cars, trucks and motorcycles every day. The National Insurance Crime Bureau reports that more than 1 million cars were stolen in 2022. Many of those vehicles are shipped overseas, never to be seen again. Others are taken for joyrides or used as transportation for other crimes. Here’s where things get ridiculous: Videos on social media Read more

2023 Kia Niro EV: Black Magic

Nero means black in Italian, and Kia used some black magic to differentiate the Kia Niro EV from the hybrid version. Instead of a shifter in the middle of the dash, a circular twist-dial engages forward or reverse. The Park button is in the middle. And the rest of the package is futuristic. Dig those contrasting-color “aeroblades” by the C-pillar that stretch back to the rear Read more

Product Spotlight: iDatalink Maestro AR Multi-Amp Upgrades

Several years ago, iDatalink, the company known for its class-leading remote car starter interfaces, launched an amplifier integration solution called the Maestro AR. The AR (which is short for amplifier replacement) was designed to interpret the CAN bus commands intended for a factory amplifier into something a third-party digital signal processor can understand. While Read more

Car Starter and Security System Remotes Have Changed Over the Years

The very first car alarm I ever saw was installed on my neighbor’s C3 Corvette. A small key switch had been installed in the fender with a cast aluminum cover. If he wanted to “secure” the vehicle, he’d lift the cover, insert a tubular lock key and give it a turn. Fast forward four decades, and now we have high-speed data communication systems that can talk to the computers in Read more

Sometimes I Just Don’t Understand Do-It-Yourself Car Audio Folks

While the goal of BestCarAudio.com is to help connect car audio enthusiasts with the right retailer to upgrade their vehicles, a significant portion of the market is geared toward the do-it-yourselfer. I’ve seen great work and experienced impressive results from people installing and upgrading their vehicles themselves. Still, we’ve also seen significantly more projects that Read more

Sound Deadening Adds Luxury to Your Car, Truck or SUV

One trait that has come to be universally expected among luxury vehicles is the quietness of their interior. Once exclusive to such premium vehicles as Mercedes, Audi, BMW and Rolls-Royce, companies like Hyundai and Kia are delivering startlingly quiet interiors. In addition to minimizing road and wind noise, the drone of an exhaust system and the hum of the tires, a quiet Read more

Add-On CD Players Restore Classic Technology

Many new cars and trucks don’t come with a CD player. Music stored on our smartphones and the multitude of streaming audio services has, sadly, made compact disc technology almost obsolete. If you still have an extensive collection of discs, your local specialty mobile electronics retailer has a variety of add-on solutions to make it easy for you to enjoy your favorite Read more

2019 Kia Forte EX Launch Edition. High Content is its Forte!

The Kia Forte name has been around for 10 years, and in most of its incarnations it represented basic transportation at a reasonable price. The economic advantages of the Forte are still there, but the all-new, third-generation Forte adds something else to the equation: luxury. Kia is not associated with luxury, except for the very rare K900 sedan. But now the Forte is Read more

2018 Kia Niro Touring. Niro Hero?

While a lot of Americans aren’t quite ready for full-electric vehicles because of range anxiety, hybrid vehicles have proven their effectiveness. The Toyota Prius and Honda Insight led the charge (so to speak), and now we are getting hybrid offerings from manufacturers we did not expect. For example, Volvo is looking to hybrid-ize its entire fleet by 2019. Moreover, standard Read more
