Horntones MP3 Automod: Blast any MP3 through your car’s horn!

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

You’re in a left-turn lane, waiting for the light to change. In front of you, a ricer is busily attenuating the 15Hz on his electric-blue graphical EQ. In front of him, a businessman catches up on his reading by propping the annual report across the steering wheel. In front of him, an elderly lady inexorably falls asleep. The light turns green - you have seconds to make it through the light before you miss the cycle, but nobody’s moving. You could lay on your horn, but that anemic whimper wouldn’t get anybody’s attention. With a grin, you reach to a small gray box on your dashboard, and press button number four. (more…)

“Audi mobile device,” it functions as an access authorization system for the vehicle, mobile phone, navigation unit and audio and video player all in one.

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Audi metroproject concept was the the iPhone-like device that slots inside the dash. Imaginatively titled the “Audi mobile device,” it functions as an access authorization system for the vehicle, mobile phone, navigation unit and audio and video player all in one. The menu is modeled on the Audi MMI interface used inside high-spec Audi models.

Equipped with both Wi-Fi and 3G UMTS technology, the Audi phone allows the driver to interface with the car and use the device as a MP3 player or input tool for the nav system. It can even be used to turn on the vehicle’s heating systems before you leave your house, making cold mornings a little more bearable. You won’t have to fumble for your keys in the cold either, as the phone can open and close the car for you.

The touch-sensitive screen is capable of recognizing both Latin and Japanese characters, and is even able to decipher handwriting. As if the device wasn’t already on your wish-list, it can also store images taken by your Audi’s on-board cameras, so your car can snap pics of a would-be intruder and send you a mugshot via the wireless connection. Then it will switch on the car’s tracker to keep you apprised of the car’s location. Yep, it’s a LoJack too.

Better communication through technology!

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

When you’re driving your car there are times when a single finger gesture can perfectly express your sentiments to a fellow vehicle operator. Although this is a relatively efficient form of non-verbal communication, we would like to present a device that brings some technology to the table.

The Driving LED Emoticon is a battery powered, wirelessly controlled message sign that can be attached to the rear window of your car via the included suction cup. A remote control unit is kept in the front of the car (fixed to front window, dash, or laid in a storage compartment) to activate the messages by pressing one of its buttons.

It can display any one of five different messages - smiling face, frowning face, “Thanks”, “Back Off” and “Idiot”. We will, of course, leave it up to you to decide which of these messages suits your particular situation - but we do think it’s nice to have a device that allows you to more clearly express yourself to other drivers.

Note: May not be legal in all states. Check your local laws before use.

  • Displays 5 different messages
  • Mounts on the inside of the rear car window
  • Choose different messages using the wireless remote
  • Main unit is powered by 4 AA batteries
  • Dimensions: 6″ dia x 1.25″ thick (approximate)
  • Has a power save mode
