On the road again? Drive in style with AppRadio, powered by your iPhone or iPod Touch

September 22nd, 2011

Today idevice compatibility is a standard in most cars, but Pioneer has introduced the new AppRadio, which takes this relationship between car and idevice to a whole new level! Pioneer’s new technology in an aftermarket head unit has idevice users upgrading their cars’ dashboards for easy access. The 6.1 inch, hi-res touchscreen makes navigating your apps easy, as it displays and controls apps right off of an iPhone or iPod touch (4th generation). It is the safer way to stay connected on the road, as drivers don’t have to constantly look down at their phones.

AppRadio does require apps that have been designed to run with this new technology. This has the designers of some of the most popular apps coming out with updates and new versions to run on AppRadio. Pandora is a must-have app for any idevice user and has been upgraded to run on Pioneer’s new unit. Streaming music from Pandora through your car speakers allows for great, personalized playlists of music that will make your ride most enjoyable.

Compatible navigation apps are probably one of the most useful of all apps created to run on AppRadio. Google Maps allows you quickly get turn-by-turn directions from your current location to any destination. Apps like these can save money by doing away with the need for in-dash navigation systems and portable GPS units that can get pretty pricey. With the creation of news apps everyday, the uses of the Pioneer AppRadio continues to grow. It is already one of the most popular aftermarket accessories for idevice users.

Check out Pioneer’s new AppRadio for the newest way to rock-out on your road trip!

July 7th, 2011

On Thursday, June 30th, 2011, World Wide Stereo partnered with Monster Cable® and Grammy award winning musicians Earth Wind and Fire to celebrate an evening of music, friends and fun – Philly style.

Over 300 people from throughout the Philadelphia region joined World Wide Stereo for an intimate meet and greet and Q + A with the legendary super-group. Owner and Founder of World Wide Stereo, Bob Cole served as the evening’s host, and took the stage with original band members Phillip Bailey and Ralph Johnson to moderate an hour-long frank discussion with fans about the band, their 40 year history, the future of consumer electronics and why music still matters.

Says Cole, “These guys are true audiophiles, they are brilliant musicians, and are passionate and steadfast in their belief that the sound is still important.” Cole adds, “All of Earth Wind and Fire’s records were mastered very carefully, and that is why they remain relevant today…it was a true honor for World Wide Stereo to be chosen as one of only 3 retailers nationwide for this opportunity.”

The standing room only event also featured Earth Wind and Fire’s Tour Bus, a Louis Latour wine tasting, and the chance to win tickets to the band’s upcoming shows. As a cooperative partner, Monster Cable® offered World Wide Stereo clients in store specials and promotions on products – including the ability to pre-order and preview Earth Wind and Fire’s collaborative in-ear headphones called “Gratitude,”(after the famed Earth Wind and Fire album).

Fans walked the red carpet, and munched on Philadelphia favorites from cheesesteaks and soft pretzels to water ice, Tastykakes, and PEANUT CHEWS®, got autographs and photos and kicked off the holiday weekend in style.

“For over three decades, World Wide Stereo has continued to ‘Do well by doing good’, says Cole, “We are appreciative of each and every one of our clients, and continue to be a vanguard in the consumer electronics industry…and of course, we still love to throw a good party!”
