The style, design and vibe of the app is maybe destined to cater to more luxury line cars like a Jaguar or luxury BMW estate , make no mistake though. All you need is a smartphone.
Pure Lounge
This app designed by creators Pure, switches your Apple or Android device into a portable radio with 16,000+ internet stations. As long as your car has an aux-input, you can enjoy these stations through your car’s speakers–a brilliant way of listening to music and talk shows from all 4 corners of the world. Ensure a decent mobile signal and if you’re within your data allowance, you’ll have endless choices of in-car entertainment.
Car Audio
Car Audio is a great app that will explain all the necessary technical knowledge about electroacustic installations – an interesting way to learn about sound installations for vehicles. Car Audio includes a Decibels Calculator so you can calculate the Sound Pressure Levels (dB) that are achieved in the interior of your vehicle. The Calculator is an easy and useful addition, allowing you to know how many decibels you can achieve with a system before installation.
Bassworx Matrix
The Matrix is an app designed to eliminate that annoying guesswork trying to find the correct box/sub combination to suit your vehicle. Before going ahead and purchasing a subwoofer, tap the drop-down menu, and Bassworx’ Optimization Matrix will select the enclosures best suited for your subwoofer. Their database contains the correct enclosure volume for sealed and ported applications, as suggested by the manufacturers. This is a simple app that saves you endless hassle trying to perfect that sub sound.
JL Audio Tools
JL Audio Tools includes a SPL Meter, an RTA, and a Speaker Polarity tester function. There are four audio calculators designed to aid with car audio installation and testing. SPL features a special microphone built in to correct the iPhone and iPod touch mics, ensuring their best output. The RTA is a 1/3-octave band Real Time Analyzer, featuring microphone compensation to indicate the flattest readings using your iPhone or iPod mics. You can also check your speaker polarity, and an upgrade adds extra filters for bass woofers, midrange, and the tweeters, generating a test signal internally.
