Q: Can you add a entertainment system to any car?

Yes, you can. Since it will be connected to the car's electrical system, it is mandatory to have it installed at a specialized workshop. Parallel to that, you should keep in mind that sophisticated systems demand a deeper integration with the rest of the car in order to make all their functions available, so there is a higher risk of causing problems on both sides. The older your car is, the more appropriate it will be to choose a simpler system.

Q: What is a cluster dashboard?

The term refers to a gauge cluster made with a high-definition screen rather than analog gauges as it was common up to the 2010s. The new system has simpler maintenance and offers countless options to be customizable: basically, the driver can visualize information regarding vital car signs, navigation, music, and internal functions and can choose what to see at each moment.

Q: How much does a dashboard cluster cost?

Regular, no-frills gauge clusters can be found for 150 to 200 dollars. However, they only provide basic information and have simple design; anything more elaborate will certainly cost more. High-definition screens are even more expensive, but they have become the best option in this regard because they can be connected to the car's infotainment system and show information of all types.

Q: Which car has rear entertainment system?

Manufacturers often restrict rear entertainment systems to high-luxury cars, where the owner is expected to ride on the rear seats, and to family-oriented models, where there are usually children on the second and third seat rows. Nevertheless, it is always possible for the owner to install aftermarket entertainment systems for the rear-seat occupants – they usually have high-definition screens attached to the backrests of the front seats.

Q: What is an entertainment package in a car?

It is the common term used to refer to the electronic system which bundles functions regarding in-car entertainment, navigation, mobile phone, and vital signs. They are all centered on a high-definition screen usually installed on the dashboard, but high-end systems can also be controlled by buttons on the steering wheel, voice commands, and even physical gestures. Latest models resemble tablets when it comes to their functions and user interface.

Electronics is becoming more important in an automobile as we speak. Decades ago, it started by optimizing basic engine functions, then went on to make life more comfortable while driving, and now plays a key role in passive safety as well. Whether you are in the market to improve your car entertainment system or to get it a beautiful digital dashboard, Mercteil's online catalog is filled with the best options to help you, always offering only genuine parts at affordable prices.

A wide selection from all types of digital dashboard…

An up-to-date instrument cluster is a useful addition because it is designed to show you many vital signs of the car while being clear, beautiful, and easy to read at all times. Besides, since it is connected to the car's multifunctional steering wheel, you can browse its menus and find information or adjust settings as much as you need without ever needing to take your hands off the steering wheel.

High-quality car audio speakers are another important upgrade because, by making the stereo sound better, they contribute to your well-being while using the car. Clear, high-definition sound is more pleasant and less aggressive to the ears, especially during long trips. In fact, that is why many recent systems are made to specific car models: each cabin has different dimensions and geometry, so they all need specific layouts from the audio equipment.

…to genuine dash cam front and rear

Last, but not least, equipping your car with a dash cam front and rear can be quite interesting as well. Recording what happens on the road ahead can be useful in times of need. Parallel to that, the possibility to see what is happening at the rear seats is reassuring especially if you drive with kids frequently. You can count on Mercteil to find the best solutions for all those issues.
