More Geeky Ideas: Bluetooth Car Stereo
Tuesday 18 March 2003 at 12:43 am Ok, super geek entry again. Sorry to disappoint, but hey, I gotta post my ideas for inventions somewhere.Wifi and Bluetooth are starting to become common terms you hear in daily (ok, maybe it's just geeks) conversation. I've got an old car and a new MP3 player. Sure, I have that little FM transmitter device, but it doesn't work so well.
So it got me thinking that it would be sweet if someone, like Pioneer or Sony, came out with a Bluetooth, or even Wifi, enabled car stereo. But mostly this idea is for Bluetooth.
Why? So I can get in my car, turn on my MP3 player, and get perfect streaming quality from my player to my car stereo, no problems. Bluetooth can do around 720kbps, or about 5 times faster data transfer than your average MP3 or even OGG file. So now I've got a car stereo that can play music from any Bluetooth enabled device. Hell, get a Bluetooth-enabled CD or Tape player for all your old stuff -- maybe even a vinyl player!!!
It doesn't stop there. Put your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone in your car, and the built-in microphone allows your phone to turn your car into a speakerphone. Have one of those TV screens built in, and now you can display your laptop in your car, or watch a video you downloaded from the 'net. Put on Bluetooth headphones and listen to your music in perfect quality -- no wires, and your significant other can still read their magazine or book in perfect silence. Maybe have a built in hard drive in the deck, and download music to it. Upgrade the software in your deck by moving your Bluetooth-enabled laptop to your car with a Wifi link (or the downloaded software).
Obviously the great thing about this device is it could be as little as an amp, AM/FM tuner and a microphone, all the way up to the Video Screen, A/F/X-M tuner, CD/DVD drive, built-in (or compact flash or USB or hard drive or non-volitile RAM) storage, GPS and Wifi. Get the right hook-up via Bluetooth, and the addition of your laptop makes a mean war driving machine! Put that in a nice black Lexus IS300, and man will you be the envy of geeks around the world.
OK, I'm dreaming, but I hope my dream will get someone to build it. I hope it is at least in the works.
That concludes this geeky outburst of geekdom. Now on to bigger things.
War. I guess we'll be at it by the end of the week. I truly hope and pray that if we do go to war against Iraq that there is a damn good reason. I have to believe that in the absence of information that I have, that our government is much more up-to-speed on the threat Iraq is against the US. Right now, I don't see it, but I also don't have a security clearance. Maybe it's better not to know. Regardless, I hope that this ends quickly. I hate that I live in a country where I disagree with my leaders decisions, think Congress is corrupt, and believe we're being assholes about this whole thing, even if it is for our own (and hopefully others and our allies) good.
