Putting New-Car Tech in Your Old-Tech Car

The Consumer Electronics Association Helps You Connect Your Car

Most vehicles on our roads are more than 11-years-old –in fact, the majority of cars and light trucks left the factory about more than years before the very first iPhone arrived! So even though in-vehicle technology is now better than ever, most U.S. drivers aren’t yet enjoying the innovative benefits of The Connected Car.

Recent car buyers say technology is an important factor in what they buy. But many don’t realize they can have almost every new, connected-car technologies installed in their current vehicles –often using products from the same companies auto manufacturers use, and typically for less money than a comparable option package on a new vehicle.

Putting new-car tech in your old-tech car is an easy and affordable way to equip your vehicle with Bluetooth voice activation, cameras and sensors that show or tell you if you are getting close to an object, and  smartphone integration that allows you to use your phone safely in the car. In interviews on Thursday, May 19th, Suzanne Kantra, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Techlicious.com, will show the new innovations to help you upgrade the tech in your current car and the best products for the job.
