Drive Safe, Not Distracted
Adrenaline Autosound is a company that promotes safer driving practices. There are many driver safety products on display and in their demonstration vehicles which, when installed by their experts, assist drivers in the overall backing up, parking and driving awareness as well as minimizing driver distractions. Talking on the phone and texting while driving are common distractions. Backing out of a driveway and not seeing people or obstacles in blind spots are a serious awareness problem. General inattentiveness on the road is always a concern. These are all situations in which Adrenaline Autosound has solutions for your vehicle.
Sad Statistics about Injured Children
By far the most common concern for drivers lacking awareness and attentiveness is what’s called ‘the back over accident.’ According to the leading driver safety advocacy group KidsandCars.org, each week 50 children are accidentally backed over. In that sad statistic, 48 are hospitalized and two children die.
How these back over accidents occur is almost entirely preventable. More than 70% of back over accidents had a parent or family member behind the wheel at the time. In 60% of those accidents, a large vehicle common to have blind spots for low objects (such as an SUV, truck, van, etc.) was involved. Driver safety devices installed Adrenaline Autosound, such as backup cameras, can very much reduce back over accidents and save lives.
Backup Cameras
Adrenaline Autosound sells and installs a wide variety of backup cameras (also called ‘reverse cameras’). Based on your vehicle and a consultation with their in-house experts, you’ll find one or more excellent choices to address your specific needs. Here are the most popular choices for backup cameras.
- Universal Backup Cameras – A universal backup camera is one that fits most vehicles because of a variety of mounting options, one or more of which will fit your vehicle. If your vehicle lacked a backup camera as a factory option, this is an excellent choice for adding safety without having to buy a new car or truck.
- Factory-Style Backup Camera – A factory-style backup camera is one that is intended to fit specific makes and models of cars or trucks where the factory originally offered a camera for that specific vehicle, but yours didn’t come with one. These have identical function and appearance to the factory part. Once professionally installed, it operates just like the factory option would.
- Surround Camera System – A surround or ‘360 degree’ camera system uses four individual cameras to deliver an all-around view of the vehicle. This provides visual awareness in front of, behind and on both sides of the vehicle. A surround camera system can be ideal for large vehicles, lifted vehicles or vehicles that have a long hood inhibiting easy parking views. A surround camera system also may reduce the probability of scratching expensive wheels or bodywork in tight parking spaces.
In addition to the backup camera choice you select, Adrenaline Autosound offers several choices with regard to viewing the backup camera image. If your vehicle has an aftermarket double-DIN in-dash multimedia stereo, it often already has a camera input available that requires connection and configuration. If your vehicle has an existing in-dash LCD screen from the factory, Adrenaline’s experts can often integrate the factory screen to accept a camera input by using a vehicle-specific interface device. Of course there are other alternatives such as a rear view mirror with integrated LCD screens and stand-alone LCD screens, both of which may be ideal for any vehicle that does not already have an in-dash screen.
Backup Sensors
Adrenaline Autosound also offers Backup sensor systems. Rather than a video camera image on a screen, these systems provide audible warning beeps that increase in frequency when the vehicle gets closer to an obstruction. With the use of small, weather-resistant ultrasonic sensors fitted unobtrusively into the vehicle’s rear bumper, a backup sensor system can provide a great method of warning to blind-spot obstructions when parking or backing up. Should you wish to combine a backup sensor system with a backup camera, the expert technicians at Adrenaline Autosound can do that for you.
Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning and Blind Spot Detection
Adrenaline Autosound installs driver awareness systems that monitor lane departure warning (LDW), forward collision warning (FCW) and blind spot detection while driving. These all help to reduce the probability of accidents stemming from driver distraction or simply things outside of the driver’s field of vision when on the road. These features are sometimes found on newer luxury cars, but Adrenaline Autosound can install them on whatever vehicle you drive. Should you wish a demonstration or further information on a system combination that works best for your vehicle, visit our expert technicians and they can check your vehicle for the best fitting solution depending on your needs.
