Very often we got to spend relatively long period of time in car either for the long & boring journey to work, vacations or play or during traffic jam. For these reasons, I’d regard a good and enhanced entertainment system is needed in the car today.

Long ago, I have been on the constant lookout for a multimedia system which can play not only audio but also video and view photo and able to play from different sources of inputs like USB, SD, etc. Unfortunately, there were only those premier brands’ products available in the market then like Pioneer, Kenwood,Clarion or JVC. One full unit alone easily causes more than RM2k. I thought it was rather expensive thus didn’t have it then. Few examples are as following:

From LG

From SONY!-also my choice.

Kenwood eXcelon DNX8120 In Dash 6.95" DVD Navigation System

Thanks to the manufacturers from China and Taiwan, they are always the fastest and most innovative electronic gadgets copiers who always improve our quality of lives and make our dreams come true.

Yesterday, I came to know from a friend of mine, Edmond K. that he is having a versatile multimedia system in his Sonata which can do all what i mentioned above, as well as making & receiving phone calls wirelessly using Bluetooth technology. Woww! I then tried out his system and to my delight, this is what I have been looking for.

Immediately today, I went to the leading car audio system expert in Melaka- Charming to have the system installed as well in my Black Stallion.

And this was the system that I installed. The brand name is Passion (though i find the name very Cina pek) but as long as it functions properly, why give a fuss on the name! But, I must say these chinese manufacturers like to use names like TOM, PASSION, etc….I wonder why don’t they use names like DICK & HARRY as well to complement TOM…..

The functions offered by this system are impressive. Besides playing musics, it plays video in Divx format, standard DVD,VCD. Photo viewing is also possible via SD card or USB cabling. It can also broadcast TV channels but then this require additional module installed but mind you, Melaka is a ULU place that for unknown reasons, TV reception is very poor even though you installed the module, this fact really fits the city as a historical state in Malaysia. Then, this system also has GPS (also require additional module) and BLUETOOTH connection. Playing IPOD is also possible. What a wonderful combination of all coveted functions that I am looking for.

After agreeing to the price, the installation began @ 1520.

The Dismantling process is finally completed.

The dismantling process itself took more than 75 minutes. For this kinda service, a labor fee is really deserved!.

Setting up the new wiring.

Hooray! it is installed now.

The technician who installed the unit for me . Surprisingly, he is mute and deaf yet he was the one tuning the sound system and taught me how to operate it! Never look down at this special people…be warned!
