We want to give your smartphone the attention it deserves.  

When you connect your iPhone 4/4S to Dash it begins charging and gives you access to all of your phones abilities.

Dash, patent pending, is the convergence of the car stereo and your smartphone. 

Today’s smartphones provide a level of connectivity, accessibility, and usability that has not been possible in the car audio market.

Dash’s unique approach allows you to have the functionality of a several thousand dollar DVD navigation unit sans the headaches of the learning curve, the lack of apps, and internet connectivity.

Dash System

The Faceplate

This is where your phone is located and it is the interchangeable part of Dash. The faceplate allows you to buy different phones and continue to use Dash. It is made from CNC'd aluminum and the back of the faceplate is made of plastic. GPS signals are not attenuated and GPS functions very well. It secures to the body using neodymium magnets.

The Body

 

This is installed in your car, replacing your current stereo. The Body is the standardized device allowing different faceplates to connect. This is the power house and brains of Dash, providing the audio amplification and charging capabilities.

Output

Dash has 4 x 50w to power your speakers but also has 3 preamps running at 2V front, rear, and sub. We are using Maxim IC developed amps, a company out of Sunnyvale, CA.

Video Pass-through

Dash will have a video pass through so you can send your video to an external monitor or TV in your car for those long drives.

Dimensions

The body is double din standard, 4 inch by 7 inch. If you can install a GPS Nav unit in your car you can install Dash. We are developing general installation instructions for DIY but recommend a professional. Basic installation costs run about 50 dollars but that could vary based on your location.

Send me a message to find out if Dash will fit in your car. I will do the research and let you know quickly.

Your smartphone becomes your stereo.

Toss the CDs, chargers, and FM transmitters and show off your awesome piece of technology. Get your phone out of the cup holder, your pocket, or the unsightly windshield mount. Now there's a place for everything.

Tap into the potential of your phone.

Apps

Streaming Radio

You will have access to your radio stations through their internet streams. There are many free apps that can help you connect to your local stations. We recommend TuneIn and IHeartRadio. Pandora and other streaming sites do not move into landscape viewing at this time. We are looking into ways of developing an app to integrate some of these services for use in landscape. The apps by Pandora, Slacker, Spotify may not move into landscape but they will function properly and play music over your speakers.

Music

For the music you have loaded or purchased on your phone you can use the built in music player. We are developing a music player app to provide more functionality. 

Homescreen

We are developing an app called "dashboard" that allows you to place the apps you use most for easy access in landscape view in Dash. Some simple information will be displayed along side the launcher; temp, direction, and song title.

Dashboard

Organize and access your car-centric apps, we want to help you to access those apps that you use most often while driving and to give you heads up information on the simple things.
