Have you ever found yourself looking for a gas station during a road trip and none seem to be around? Can’t find that particular restaurant you took your family to last year at the beach? Where’s a coffee shop around here? Is there a clothing department store within 20 miles of where I am?
A road trip or even cruising around town can turn from enjoyable to frustrating in a very short time if you aren’t able to find what you are looking for. We’ve all been there at one point or another, and it’s a very unnerving situation which can easily ruin your day.
It is in these cases when a GPS Navigation system really shines. From finding restaurants to rest stops, gas stations to department stores, and many things in the middle, GPS truly can relieve much of the stress of driving. Those portable GPS units are handy no doubt, but is there a better way to make GPS part of your vehicle? After all, fumbling with suction-mounts, cords, and moving the device to and from the vehicle can become tiresome.
Luckily the answer is yes – a custom Navigation system. Not only is your GPS Navigation integrated directly into your dash, but it will function in harmony with your audio/video system as well! There’s no portable device to keep track of or accidentally drop, no messy cords to get tangled, only a fantastic, fully-integrated console that will manage your GPS, music, and video all-in-one.
As you may have guessed, we are very passionate about our commitment to quality and to our customers, so we carry only the best brands (such as Alpine and Clarion) and our work is backed by our quality guarantee and a great warranty! So what are you waiting for? Take your driving pleasure to the next level and experience what a custom navigation system can do for you! Contact us for more information.
We have developed a reputation in the Piedmont-Triad and beyond for providing premium mobile audio and video systems for cars, SUVs and small trucks, as well as marine vehicles – but we don’t stop there. For those of you who take your life on the road with you on the long haul, we provide the same level of quality, professional service, and customization for your 18-Wheeler.
We realize that many semi truck drivers spend most of your time out on the road, and we at DeDona believe that your entertainment system should provide you with a top-notch listening and viewing experience to make those long miles go by a little easier. Many of the most innovative and popular features offered for smaller vehicles are also available for a semi, and (as always) we use only the highest quality hardware and our work is backed by our reputation as industry professionals and an outstanding warranty.

We can often forget that the windshield is arguably one of the most important parts of our vehicles. The car windshield is also an area which is prone to damage and constantly exposed to the elements. Though modern windshields are quite strong, glass is still susceptible to many types of damage that doesn’t much effect other components.
Glass is a fragile material, even considering the processes modern windshields must go through to assure high strength and durability. However, there are a number of factors that can result in damage such as flying debris, wiper blade scratches, stone chips and many more. The most common of these is the infamous stone chip. There are a variety of factors that govern this type of damage, such as road surface driven on, number of miles, size and shape of windshield, rake angle and type of car. Some cars seem to be more prone to this type of damage than others.
As windshield are prone to being damaged and are highly exposed to the elements, it is always better to have any damage quickly repaired. Once the damage goes beyond a certain point, you may have no option but to replace the entire windshield. Car insurance policies vary widely; many insurance companies do not provide coverage for glass repair unless you have a more comprehensive policy, which may cost a little more, but in the end it can save you a lot of money and lost time.
In the meantime, however, if your windshield is free of dings and chips, there’s a few things you can do to keep it in prime shape for great visibility and safe driving.
Squeegee & Soapy Water
There is no need to buy a fancy cleaning solution for your car’s windshield. Just get a bucket of hot water and squeeze some mild detergent soap into the water. You can also use one part glass cleaner (made especially for windshields) to four or five parts of water. Do not use ammonia-based household glass cleaners for your windshield (especially for tinted windows), as they tend to be too harsh for most car windows and connecting parts around them. Saturate the windshield with your soapy water and use a squeegee to remove the dirt. Pull the squeegee from the middle of the windshield to the edge on each side and then pull it upward on the edges to get the residue off. Finish off the job with a microfiber cloth to remove any stray streaks or residue.
The Inside Surface
A much-neglected area of the windshield during cleaning is undoubtedly the inside face. Dirt can layer on the inside of the glass, over time making it more difficult to see. Use a microfiber windshield cleaning product with a handle that is specially made for this task, a great example is the Windshield Wonder or the triangular Glass Master tool that gets into the corners of the glass. Spray it with plain hot water or a mixture of water and a small amount of glass cleaner, wring it out a bit so that it doesn’t drip all over the interior, and then move the brush around from corner to corner and finally into the middle to completely clean the inside glass. If you don’t have access to a tool like this, a soft static-free cloth will work just fine. The glass will self-dry streak-free with some tools, but you may need to go over it again with a static-free cloth to remove leftover residue traces.
Apply a Protectant
After you finish cleaning your windshield, spray it thoroughly with some Rain-X or a similar windshield protectant and then wipe it down with a static-free cloth. This will increase your visibility when it rains because the water literally sheets off the glass. Rain-X also comes in wipes that you can keep under your car seat and use periodically to prevent rainwater residue from sitting on your windshield.
The other windows in your vehicle are just as important as your windshield, so be sure to keep them clean and in prime condition using some of the recommendations above. If your windshield should need a repair, we’re here to do the job and do it right. Give us a call!

If you’d like to bring all of your music and video library on the road with you, your iPod is arguably one of the best options. CD players are unable to hold the amount of music you would like to have at your fingertips (and who likes fumbling for CDs and constantly worrying about scratching or losing them), so what are the options?
The first and cheapest option would be an FM transmitter. The results of these devices vary widely, sometimes audio quality is clear but often your tunes will be plagued by static and interference from more powerful radio signals along with other mobile devices. These transmitters are very easy to install and the price makes your wallet smile, however the listening experience delivered by these devices is anything but “premium”.
The next step up from this is an FM modulator. These provide better performance and quality than a transmitter, but still they lack the ability to control your iPod through your car stereo’s controls. This major drawback is the main reason consumers tend to choose a hard wired iPod Kit.
An iPod Car Kit enables you to have full control over your iPod from your stereo/steering wheel controls, as well as delivering exceptional sound quality. While these kits are a bit more expensive than the alternatives, many would agree that they are worth every penny. These kits connect directly to the rear of your vehicle’s stereo system and act as an emulator, so installation should be done by a professional.
Aside from offering you full control of your iPod via stereo controls and steering wheel controls, these kits also keep your iPod charged so it’s always good to go, fully functional text display on your stereo’s display, and deliver maximum quality audio and video playback directly through your vehicle’s speakers and display. For the more casual user, an FM transmitter would probably do the trick if you aren’t too picky about occasional interference and lower audio quality, but for those who wish to enjoy the iPod’s full potential, an integrated iPod Kit is the best choice.
