Digital Radio
| 4th April 2018
DAB+
Digital radio is here! Along with it some confusion
about what it is.
We have people thinking because the radio has a digital
display that it is digital radio. Not so.
We also have the issue where you see on some CD
Tuners something saying DAB ready, XM digital radio
ready or SIRIUS digital radio ready. These are great if
you are overseas but the powers that be in Australia
thought we should go our own way and have a different
system.
Initially I tried DAB+ in my own car and found
especially in the North Western suburbs reception was
hit and miss. After trying numerous on screen antennas I
finally bit the bullet and drilled the roof of the VZ
Clubsport and installed a DAB+ and AM/FM combo antenna.
WOW!! What a difference.
Pretty much at least doubled the range.
If you want the best digital radio reception (or any
type of radio reception) invest in the best antenna you
can. You will be glad you did.
Formula Tech
Dyno Centre | 4th April 2018
To tune or not to tune ....... that is the question!
Well ...... tune it is. I had the pleasure of Meeting
Brett Stewart from Formula Tech Dyno Centre today, who pulled out
his magic wand (laptop) and weaved some magic on my VZ
Clubby. I was amazed how bad my car used to run until it
was tuned properly. Not only more power, but how it gets
there impressed me the most. Especially in the mid range
the engine pulls harder and does it much smoother than
before. With a
Kostecki cold air system ,
Di Filippo extractors and high flow cats.
Brett's tune squeezed out 380rwhp. Not bad for a semi stock
LS2! I will keep you posted about the improvement on
fuel economy once I have gone through a couple of tanks
of BP Ultimate 98. If the expected fuel economy does
happen it will be a very tidy bonus. (Update) Fuel
economy from Mandurah to Kewdale average 8.5 l/100kms.
That is ridiculously good for a big V8.
Having a look around the stable of cars Brett has,
you have to be impressed. He builds, tunes and drives
them himself. Not only a Jack of all trades but a master
of them as well.
If your looking for modifications or tuning, make
sure you tell him I sent you so I can get some brownie
points.
Check out the website at
www.formulatech.com.au for more info and contact
details.
Latest update ... I was lucky enough to get one of the
very last HSV GTSR from Jason at Gardner Motors in
Cannington. Within a week of owning it, it was driven
straight to Brett and had the 507 Walkinshaw system
upgrade. NOW this is an insane piece of work. Thanks
again Brett for a job well done.
Reversing Cameras Save Lives | 4th April 2018
Do you have a Toyota Landcruiser, Prado, Tarago or Camry
with the Navigation monitor in the dash? Then we can
help you with the REVERSING CAMERA from Eclipse. It
plugs straight into the factory screen in the dash and
connects to the reverse light wire. So when you select
reverse, the camera displays on the in dash screen
automatically. No need for reverse sensors when you can
actually see what you are doing. Its especially good
when reversing up to a trailer or boat. YOU can see when
to stop with out getting out of the car or asking for
help from the neighbour. The camera is only $399 and can
be installed for around $150 depending on the vehicle.
If you drive a Ford BA/BF Falcon or a Ford Territory
with a colour screen, we now have the solution for you
also. If you have installed an Alpine, Clarion or
Eclipse aftermarket DVD Screen then you are also able to
install a reverse camera to these units. Once you have
used a reverse camera you will wonder how you ever
reversed without one. Our thoughts are with those who
have lost a child through a driveway accident. There
have been far too many of these accidents over the last
year or so and we all hope this will stop with the
addition of these must have safety devices. For more

Mobile Solutions Boot Camp Perth2011 |
14th April 2011
We have been extremely fortunate to have had Mr Bryan
Schmitt from Mobile Solutions USA, run a Car Audio
Technical Boot Camp in Perth for members of the Car
Audio Masters Group. Most but not all of Alberts Car
Stereo stores are CAM members.
See the CAM website for details.
After a successful seminar in Brisbane and Melbourne he
saved the best till last.
Topics included advanced router techniques, fabrication,
fibreglass, system tuning and factory integration.
All of these things we have been doing for many years
but Brian has helped us reinvent the wheel.
So all those who want a tricky boot install or need your
system tuned, we are now better equipped with new RTA's,
Oscilloscopes and phase detectors to ensure your audio
system is giving you all it can.
Not all stores attended so choose carefully
where you go.
Of course there is only one .... Grants Carstereo Morley :o)
