What is vehicle audio?
Vehicle audio, commonly called mobile audio, mobile electronics, car stereo systems, and car audio, is electronic and electrical equipment installed for use in a vehicle.
Car stereo systems typically are designed to provide convenient features for audio playback but may include video features as well, Bluetooth audio protocol integration, and interface with a vehicle’s electrical system for additional benefits.
Vehicle audio electronics differ from home stereo equipment due to the challenges presented in a vehicle which include a different (lower) voltage supply from a +12V battery. This requires additional electronics to provide higher power output in addition to overcoming noise present in signals used within a vehicle.
