|  | ‘Tis the Season…. June 2008 Travel season, that is. Yup. The snow is gone (no really, it is), the weather is getting warmer, and thoughts turn to beaches and summer vacations. And just in time; Gas is over $3.00 a gallon! Lucky us! Well that just means you need to travel smart. The Edge is proud to introduce Bel PRO series radar detectors. Some of the highest rated systems on the market. Speeding tickets added on to your trip expense is no fun! Not to mention the ding to your insurance rates. The thing you need to know about radar detectors is really the same thing we preach about everything; You get what you pay for! Everybody knows people who bought a real “bargain” radar unit that beeps when there’s radar (sometimes), and beeps at trees, stop lights, supermarket doors, and just about anything else. What use is that? A high quality radar unit eill have very low false alerts and excellent range to give you maximum warning. Bel PRO series. End of story. It is illegal to talk on a handheld cell phone while driving in NY state (and a growing number of other states). Everybody hates those earpieces with the cords hanging. They sound terrible, you always get tangled in the wires.. it’s a mess. Did you know that we can get you true hands free cell phone use through your factory stereo or through many of the high quality replacement stereos we sell? Talk about COOL! Automatically mutes your music when the phone rings, lets you hear the person calling through your regular speakers, an in some cases, even shows caller info on the radio screen (depends upon your phones capabilities). We have lots of possibilities for you. Drive safe. Drive legal. If you’re not one of the 1.8 million users of iPods or other mp3 formatted music players, odds are you will be. With the ability to carry your entire music library in your shirt pocket, and play it anywhere in a multitude of ways; Hard drives such as these are the wave of today and tomorrow. Here’s where it all goes terribly wrong. You have digitally recorded music. Clean, crisp, and clear. Then you listen to it on$1.99 earbuds that lose half the sound quality, or an fm modulator that plays over the fm radio in your car that also sounds like…. Well not very good. Did you know we can interface with your factory radio or our selection of iPod ready aftermarket decks? You can have the full digital sound quality and performance you might not have ever heard from your iPod or mp3 player. Navigation is HOT! Guys; Never have to ask for directions again! Girls; Never get upset with the guys for not asking for directions again! Todays nav systems offer a huge assortment of convenience features that make them a necessity. Turn by turn directions, automatic routing, rerouting if you miss a turn, are standard. Find gas stations, restaurants, banks, hotels and more with your nav system. Plus many have built in hard drives for music and video storage which can be interfaced with your vehicles entertainment system. We have portable units for any budget. If you want something a little nicer, as in no wires hanging or suction cups on the window, try our indash installed systems. Incredible! Last, but not least. Don’t forget to get a tune up! No! Not that kind. I mean Tune Up! Upgrade those wimpy factory speakers. Even so called “premium sound systems” don’t sound so premium when you listen to a truly great set of speakers properly installed and tuned by install professionals. Stop in and ask for an IN CAR demo of any or all of the above. If you’re going to pay over $3.00 a gallon for gas, the least you should do is enjoy the ride! That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
