TomTom GO 510 4-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Car Electronics
from: TomTom

July 14, 2006
Okay, so I am the woman that is always lost. I have lived in the same area my whole life, but if I get turned around, I am hopeless. I started a new job about a year ago where I would be seeing clients all over Los Angeles County, and I knew I was in trouble. I bought a TomTom, and I can't express how much of a stress relief it has been! I have driven many many places, and it has only been wrong (slightly, and I quickly figured out the problem) twice. I spent a long time researching which GPS to purchase, and I am definitly happy with TomTom. No more Mapquest when I need to go somewhere, I can just hop in my car, input the address, and off I go!

Some of the inputing takes getting use to - i.e. you put the city name first, ... Read More:

Pioneer TS-G1042R 4-Inch 2-Way 120-Watt Speaker

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Car Electronics
from: Pioneer


These speakers sound good and the price is right if you are replacing the original factory speakers. The sound is a little flat. I went the economical route because I am still using the 20 year old factory head unit. If I were to upgrade the radio or head unit than I would choose a different pair of speakers.

Tivoli Model Satellite Table Radio (Sirius Satellite Radio / AM / FM )

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Car Electronics
from: Tivoli Audio


This will be just a brief review, and only of the Sirius part of the radio - I haven't used the AM/FM part.

The radio is small, and beautiful, and has absolutely terrific mono sound. (For a bedside/bedtime radio I see no need to buy the extra speaker for stereo sound.)

With Sirius of course you get whatever music/news/talk you'd like. I'm using it exclusively for the 3 classical channels (and maybe the 24/7 All Elvis All The Time channel every once in awhile). (XM also has 3 classical channels, later on when Sirius & XM merge there will probably still be 3 classical channels). The programming is very good.

However, there are a few flaws to be aware of with this radio. The biggest flaw is a direct result of ... Read More:

Whistler DE1788 Cordless Radar/Laser Detector with Tri-Directional Text Display

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Car Electronics
from: Whistler


It is great having a cordless detector. It works as well as my corded one. The batteries lasts about a week while using it daily. The mount is holding it up fine so far. With the batteries inside it is a bit heavy. We'll see how well the suction cups work over time.

Magellan RoadMate 360 GPS Portable Navigator

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Car Electronics
from: Magellan


This GPS gets the basics done, and belive me I am glad to have it if I get lost, but it does lack on its mapping and finding a location/business. I know for instance when searching for a Walmart when one was close by, it wasn't able to locate it or direct me to it, and it was not a recent build, it was a location that has been around for over a decade.

Pioneer AVIC-F900BT In-Dash Navigation Audio/Video Receiver with DVD Playback and Advance Voice Controls

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Car Electronics
from: Pioneer


The unit takes a nearly two minutes to boot up completly!! the bluetooth disconnects every two minutes from my blackberry, when I called the company they said "sorry, we havnt been able to make the avic stay connected to blackberry" the guy said that they havnt smoothed out the software glitches yet!! this unit seemed very apealing based on write up and specs. Unfortunatly using the the unit is a dissapointment.

cant use it for calls... what a waste

HEY PIONEER, PLEASE SMOOTH OUT THE GLITCHES BEFORE YOU RELEASE A PRODUCT.

Terk SIR6 Sirius Outdoor Home Antenna

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Car Electronics
from: Terk


It does pull in signals better than the original indoor/outdoor antenna, even when mounted under similar conditions. The cable is heavier duty and the connection is waterproofed.

As to whether it works better than Directed Electronics 14240 I cannot say.

Things to consider between the 2 outdoor antennas (besides the price): Is the greater extension of the Terk antenna important for your mounting consideration (for example to reach out from under eves)? and, Is the color important?
