In Car Entertainment Systems or ICE systems refer to all modern multimedia devices in vehicles that function as entertainment, recreational and utility systems. These include all audio/video and navigational devices.

Although Car Audio systems fall under this category, it will be fair to say that they also have their own separate existence.

The concept of In Car Entertainment has been around ever since the first vehicles hit the road and it has been evolving ever since. Modern ICEs comprise of highly advanced technologies and host a number of hi-tech features to make our drive a pleasurable experience.

The modern day In Car Entertainment Systems are parented by the simple Car Audio system. A Cassette Player cum Car Radio was the first member of this family. The practice of listening to one’s favorite music while driving gained quick acceptance as people realized that it can turn journeys into exciting memories. Any form of entertainment kills the boredom associated with long road journeys and the first and still the foremost type of entertainment in vehicles is listening to music.

A Car Audio system qualifies as the basic and most commonly used In Car Entertainment system. Modern Car Audio systems however do much more than just play music. They can also play music stored on various devices in various formats and pair with various other devices as well.

With advanced features like Wi-fi, Bluetooth, USB, Ipod connectivity, Steering Wheel Audio Control, Phone Connectivity, Remote Device Connectivity, TV etc., the modern Car Audio system has itself evolved into a complete entertainment system.

Audio systems in cars play music from CDs, DVDs, Cassettes and Portable Storage Devices. With advanced connectivity features, you can pair any other device like Ipod, Mobile Phone etc. with your Car Audio System and enjoy combined features like using car speakers as a handsfree device for the phone.

Unlike any other the smart car is still demanding our attention and proving that, despite being small they can keep up with the big dogs – in terms of what they offer us the consumer.

The Innovative Smart cars compact and distinguished appearance is still turning heads and triggering smiles amongst most drivers. you can even see its influence on other car manufacturers with the introduction of Toyotas IQ and the Fiat 500. Other manufacturers may be jumping on the toy car wagon but they are soon again going to be left behind. Smart are set to turn a head or two and reignite the stir that they created when they first appeared on our roads back in 1998, by introducing a new generation of the quirky roadster- soon to be available in electric! Introduced as the Smart Electric Drive.

Smarts ethos from the beginning of its life has been to get the best out of motoring while making minimal impact on the environment. (And of course, having fun while doing it.) So I expect that it comes as no surprise to most of you that the Smart journey would end up going down the electric route!

Smarts brand mission from the beginning has been to get the best out of motoring while making minimal impact on the environment. (And of course, having fun while doing it.) It was only a matter of time until their dream became a reality.

Like your favourite everyday appliances, phones, laptops, the Smart Electric Drive will need a hearty charge of 8 hours, so probably over night ideally, it will then drive for up to 84 miles before it needs hooking up to the mains again. So where’s the plug? Tucked away under the old petrol cap!
