New Stereo FTW

FTW = For The Win.

I just got a new stereo about one week ago (shortly after my abrupt hospital stay), and after tinkering with it for a week, I have to say that I absolutely love it. I changed out my factory stereo with a Kenwood KDC-X 792 (pictured at left) and I should have done it earlier.

I never had the RDS read out in my car before, but now that I do, I have to remind myself to stop looking at it and focus on driving! The RDS is the digital signal that sends out the station/artist/song information so you can always know what's playing. We were the first on the scene with the RDS in the South Valley so it's a little sad that I didn't get myself one until just now. I also have the full iPod capibility and an extravagent graphic analyzer that tells me my car's horsepower at any given time and lays it out in a bar graph, helping map the performance. I would probably never need such a device, but it's nice to know it's there!

I also want to give a shout-out to the great guys at The Exclusive Company in Appleton. Todd, Andy and John all did a fantastic job in helping me get the right stereo for me and installing it at a great deal. If you ever need a new stereo installed, I couldn't recommend these guys enough.
