Today, if you're going to go out and buy a high end car, you'll be amazed by the range and variety of in-car entertainment systems. From the introduction of the radio, our cars have since evolved satellite navigation systems, dual mode screens for watching films and even the ability to answer questions you have on the road. However, these systems can often be pretty dumb. Slow, unintuitive and rarely updated, they can be much less useful than the computer you've got in your pocket – your iPhone.
Unlike your car, your iPhone is always with you, learning what you're interested in and figuring out where your likely destinations are going to be. It also knows what kind of music you like to hear, the sound of your voice and exactly where it is at all times. Those are things which your car simply can't do, and with the help of an iPhone car mount, you can turn any older car into an ultra-modern smart ride. Here are our three favourite iPhones features to use in a car:
1) Navigation
In-car navigation services can be pretty awful at times. You're either stuck using the one which came built in to your car, which might never have been updated to the latest maps or dedicated GPS units which can be costly and clumsy to install. With an in car iPhone mount, you can use the GPS you've always got on you – your phone. You'll always have the latest maps, as well as access to things like traffic updates, something many in-car navigation systems don't offer. Perhaps best of all though, because the many docks support charging, your phone's battery won't drain whilst it gets you from location to location.
2) Hey, Siri!
Since iOS 9, iPhones have had the capability of listening out for the command ‘Hey, Siri'. At home, that means you can ask it things like how long you're meant to boil an egg for, or to set an alarm. If you've got your iPhone mounted in your car though, it can mean doing things like asking it to find restaurants in your destination before you arrive, telling it to play an album that you love or even redirect you to another location.
3) Unlimited music choice
Remember the days of filling your cars storage compartments with CD's in order to keep your music choices fresh? Say goodbye to them, because with an iPhone and mount combination, you can stream as much music as you like. Many cars from the last decade have Bluetooth connectivity, and many more have 3.5mm connection, making connection to your iPhone easy. With an in-car iPhone mount, album arts, information and controls are all at your fingertips; so all you really need to do is choose between Spotify, Google Play Music or Apple Music.
