3 Surprising Reasons You Should Upgrade Your Car Audio
Are you looking to boost your car audio in 2025? When most people think of upgrading their audio system, the first things that usually come to mind are ramping up the bass and increasing sound clarity. While these are definitely two benefits of an upgrade, at Certified Radio, we know there’s so much more you can explore with the right fit!
Since 1972, we’ve helped Edmontonians find the perfect audio system and more. We’re passionate about making your daily drive better! Below, we’ll cover three unexpected benefits of upgrading your car audio system. Read on to learn more!
1. Enhanced Road Safety with Hands-Free Communication
Life is always on the go, and driving safely while staying connected has never been more important. Upgrading your car audio system can dramatically improve your ability to communicate without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road, thanks to integration with ApplePlay and Android Auto. With features like voice command integration and hands-free calling, you can:
- Make and receive calls effortlessly.
- Send messages using voice-to-text functionality.
- Control music and navigation with simple voice prompts.
At Certified Radio, we’ll help you choose the perfect setup to keep your focus where it belongs—on the road!
2. Quieter Rides with Sound Dampening
We don’t often think about road noise while commuting, but for those who spend plenty of time in their car, sound dampening can significantly benefit their in-cabin experience. Sound-dampening materials, such as those offered by SoundShield, absorb vibration and reduce external noise, allowing them to enjoy their music, podcasts, or even just a simple conversation with their passengers without added distractions. A quieter cabin can also help reduce road fatigue during longer drives and can actually help keep cooler air out during the winter!
3. Easier Navigation with Integrated GPS
Modern audio systems frequently feature GPS navigation that makes it easy to take the best route for your ride and seamlessly integrates with your smartphone. These units offer multiple benefits, including:
- Real-time traffic updates to avoid delays.
- Large, easy-to-read screens for quick reference.
- Voice-guided directions that keep your hands on the wheel.
Integrated GPS systems are great for everyone, from new drivers to frequent travellers and those who enjoy road-tripping. With an upgraded car audio system, you’ll always have peace of mind on the road.
