My Car is a Geek

Hello everyone! First of all, thank you for your interest in my previous article! Today I hope to bring you some more exciting information about the electronics of the car.

In my particular model of the Smart Passion Cabriolet I ordered the futuristic-sounding "Innovation Package". It comes with a lovely LCD multimedia touch screen, a deafening (in the best of ways) 8-channel surround sound speaker system and a whopping sub-woofer in the back of the car, and don't let me forget the dual-temperature heated seats!

Touchy Feely

The Smart's LCD touch screen can do just about anything you ask of it, and I mean that literally, many features are voice activated! After a bit of exploring I've discovered some pretty neat stuff. The touchscreen can display videos, and pictures, so you wont ever be bored waiting for someone. Simply pop in your favourite DVD, USB, or SD card with a video file on it, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show! Now, that your done waiting for that friend, date, messenger pigeon, or whatever else you happen to have been waiting for, you might not know how to get where you're going. Not to worry though, your Smart does. Equipped with a rather talkative GPS, the smart can take you where you're going from wherever you are. Now, on the way to your movie, romantic dinner, or local pigeon feed store, you might get a call. With all the new traffic laws concerning cell phones, this would be a concerning development for most. Thankfully, the Smart has got your back. With the Bluetooth handsfree, you can listen to music, make calls, and even search your address book all

 using the LCD touch screen.

All in all, the versatile LCD touch screen is a joy to use, and definitely a "smart" investment.

D-D-D-D-Drop the Bass

Nothing beats the feeling of pulling up to your destination with your hair blowing in the wind, and your tunes blasting. With the Smart 8-channel surround sound system, I have consistently been getting great sound out of the speakers, with the top down or up. The speakers aren't just loud, they produce quality sound comparable to Bose or Pioneer sound systems. With all of the default EQ settings (which are highly customisable) Alternative and rock songs produce the warm treble that one should expect and dance and dubstep songs produce defined noises, and bass you can feel from head to toe. You can play all of your music from your phone, a USB, an SD card, or an iPod or iPhone.
My USB happens to be the shape of a Mercedes  key.

To sum up... I love it more every day!
