Did you ever got into a car accident that you weren’t at fault, but was unable to proof?

Did anybody reversed and hit your car, but said that you hit them, at the end you paid for the repair and got a ticket?

Fact:
-witness is not always available and is not 100% reliable.
-there are people that would create fake car accidents to commit fraud against ICBC

Solution:
The car video recorder/black box, can help you proof your innocence. by providing 1080p crystal clear picture, GPS senser that records the current time, date, location, and speed. it’s like having a police on your car all the time that will help you clear who is at fault in case of an accident.

Introducing the ED-3000 video recorder:

Feature:

Designed for car use, automatically turn on and start recording when ignition is on, and turn off, when engine is off. with Smart-USB adaptor, you can even have it programmed to record over night but won’t drain your battery.

GPS receiver:
with built-in GPS receiver, the current date, time, location, direction of travelling, and speed is recorded onto the sd card. by using our dedicated software, you will be able to see how the incident took place.  if your camera recorder doesn’t have GPS function, it really only does half of the job.

Vantage Audio is excited to announce the partnership with  Dominations Sound as their authorized reseller.  Domination Sound is a Hi-End loudspeaker and amplifier manufacturer based in Indonesia. Just in 2010 alone, they have won “47″ trophies in sound competition using Dominations Sound products in South East Aisa.  Needless to say how great their products are. The best thing is these babies are surprisingly affordable.  With their “entry” level system component set comes with a price tag of $249, these speaker will easily outperform the competitors even at price the $500 price range!!

Listed below is their product catalog, sorry for it not being in English since this company is still new to Canada. we will introduce each product with a detailed test and write up to let you know more about this amazing company.

this is the latest retrofit we did using FX-R projector on 2010 brand new Nissan Altima. the new Altima uses materiel very close to epoxy to seal the headlight now so it was quite challenging taking about the headlight.  So it was definitely not something you would want to try without prior retrofitting experience.

Since we are in canada, there is the DRL issue we need to address. Originally the DRL is running off the high beam, but our FX-R projector has very good high beam capability.  Therefore, to have the FX-R high beam work properly we rerouted the DRL so it would run on the low beam HID.  And when high beam is triggered, both the projector and original high beam will be on

We use Vantage Electronics HID kit to ensure long term usage without having flickering or premature bulb burn out problem.  The bulb is using D2S style for ease of replacement in the future.  Enjoy the picture, any comments are welcomed

This is another projector retrofit we have done a few weeks ago.  I forgot to take the before picture so I just grab a sample picture online.  on top you see a blue RSX, that would represent what the original headlight looks like.

We have put in Vantage Electronics HID kit, 4300k D2S bulb, and the FX-R projector.  the overall effect is very nice, hope you like it do.

Another Installation for Daytime Running Light with Light Sabre LED DRL.

This time we install it on a Audi A3.  There is a spot available for the installation.  Do you like it?  I do!!

The First ever LED light DRL that’s not a christmas light anymore.

Designed and Developed by Vantage Electronics.  this LED bar is each rated at 10W continuously.  This is not your ordinary Christmas light LED daytime running light.  it’s so bright you have to see it to believe it.

the Light Sabre is powered by a dedicated controller that provides constant power and current to ensure the fluctuation of voltage on the car will not damage the LED.  the controller is has a wide input voltage of 9~15V.  also, it’s not like HID light, it’s not sensitive to instability of power. as long as you give it anything between 9~15V, it will turn on instantly.

Dedicated heatsink provides adequate cooling to ensure the longevity of the operating lifetime.  In fact, this Light Sabre has rated lifetime of at least 50000 hours.

the MSRP for Light Sabre is $349, it’s now on sale with installation for only $249.

Why are we selling for such low price you might ask.  The only reason we are doing this is to get as many kind of cars to install it and we can use the picture to show how awesome it looks on different model of cars!!

On Sale Right Now with installation for $249

Last week I had another customer coming for sound tuning. The customer was not satisfied with the sound even with all that high end system in the car.  Basically he has focal component speaker, focal 4-ch amp, 8″ focal subwoofer, all top of line monster cable, and Pioneer navigation deck.  All these setup must cost him thousands of dollars yet there are a few problems about the sound quality.

First there is excessive engine noise coming out of the speaker when engine is on.  Also, the amp when at high volume would turn it self off after about 10min of playing.  Finally, the bass although is located right behind the driver side, it feels soft and delayed.

Luckily we were able to find out the reasons behind all these problems.  First is the engine noise.  After taking out the panels, for sure I found out that the RCA wire is tied up and ran together with the power wire.  Even the customer has top of line MONSTER cable, it’s still not enough to prevent noise from getting into the signal.  To solve the problem, we completely took out the RCA wire and ran it on the other side of the vehicle.  Guess what, the engine noise is gone.

We also upgraded the ground point.  Originally, it was screwed to the metal by just 2 little screw.  I have seen this style of install several times.  It might look secure, but as time goes by, the screw will start to get loose and you will end up with a bad ground.  Do I need to explain what a bad ground can do?  ^^

Last, the bass performance problem.  The subwoofer he has was an 8″ sub.  The previous installer even made a “custom” ported box for it.  Well, when you listen to the sub, it’s slow and sloppy, so the tuning frequency and the box volume is definitely off, and my feeling is it’s too big.  Plus the customer listens to dance music and techno music, so the last thing he needs was slow and off-beat bass.  I recommended him to just get a matching sealed box, that way he will be surprised on what he has been missing.

To be continued.
