Autosounds started way back in 1972 in the form of Sungold Autoelectrics, formed by David Coates. Ten years later, Sungold Autosounds Ltd was established.
Today both companies are operating independently and from separate premises, with a successful trading background and a wealth of knowledge of car electronics and after-market products.
Autosounds are located on Scotswood Rd, near to the Redheugh Bridge, and have a showroom with full demo facilities, workshops and offices. They also employ a network of engineers who carry out installations to the fleet and motor insurance industries.
There are five divisions within the company:
Car Audio - Car Security Sales
Mobile Phones Sales
Workshops
Radio Repairs
Insurance/Fleet National
Autosounds has ISO 9002 accreditation and is working towards Investment In People. They take training very seriously and will only deal with manufacturers that have a training program. All employees are assessed annually and given a development program to help the company remain one of the leading suppliers in the industry.
Their products cover all major makes of Car Audio, Car Security and Mobile Phones. David and his team would welcome the opportunity for you to allow them to assist you, and they will always endeavour to give you a personal and professional service.
Alpine Electronics have launched ‘Dock ‘n’ Roll’, a package concept that combines one of two of Alpine’s Mobile Media Stations – the IVA-W205 or IVA-W505R - with the latest version of its Blackbird portable navigation system to create one integrated navigation solution.
Both the IVA-W205R and IVA-W505R are double DIN units capable of playing CD, DVD and MP3. Both units are Bluetooth enabled, offering hands-free calling which plays the caller's voice through the vehicle’s speakers.
Alpine’s portable Blackbird navigation system allows it to be easily transferred from vehicle to vehicle. Uniquely, it can be directly docked into the IVA-W205R and IVA-W505R.
The benefits of docking the Blackbird into the Mobile Media Stations include increased size in the screen display from 4” to 6.5” (IVA-W205R) or 7” (IVA-W505R), making it easier to input and see destinations. As the unit is integrated into the dashboard, it reduces glare from sunlight thus offering better visibility. In addition, as the unit is docked in the Mobile Media Station it eliminates cable clutter on the dash and is hidden from thieves. It also connects to an external GPS antenna providing a stronger signal for higher navigation accuracy.
