Improving your vehicle audio electronics not only gives you options in the brand category, but it also gives you a big variety of options when it comes to all the necessities and accessories that a car audio electronic system can have. First, you need to decide on the speakers that are required for your vehicle. If you replace the present speakers, you may want to make sure that you put speakers back into the space allotted so that you donot have a hole or a speaker that appears not to work. In addition, you can add a selection of other speakers ( usually bigger ones ) and other equipment like : subwoofers and amplifiers.

The conversation Consumerist’s Laura Northrup had with an AT&T customer service representative after confirming that iPhones could not be purchased online when using any New York zip code almost plays out like an SNL skit:

Daphne: Welcome to AT&T online Sales support. How may I assist you with placing your order today?

Laura: Hi, I was looking at the iPhone 3Gs and the system tells me that I cannot order one in my ZIP code. My zip code is 11231. (Brooklyn, NY) Is this true? Are iPhones no longer available in New York City?

Daphne: I am happy to be helping you today . Yes, this is correct the phone is not offered to you because New York is not ready for the iPhone.

Daphne: You don’t have enough towers to handle the phone.

Laura: Thank you for your help. So the phone is not available to people anywhere in the city?

Daphne: Yes this is correct Laura.

Yikes. We know that AT&T’s aware that it sucks in NY, but is the solution to a localized network strain from heavy data usage to stop online sales of a particular phone? Doesn’t exactly seem like the most sensible of ideas, especially since there are plenty of iPhones in AT&T’s brick-and-mortar New York stores.

Something else that’s peculiar about this “sales ban” is that folks in San Francisco, another spot where data puts a huge strain on AT&T’s network, are still able to purchase the iPhone online:

A possible explanation to things comes in the form of whispers regarding some kind of New York-based online sales fraud, but somehow the answer to the old ““Is it the network?” still seems to be a loud, angry “Yes!” After all, how can a bit of online sales fraud prompt refusing to sell one particular phone model to an entire market?

Whatever the real story here, I’m definitely curious to hear if AT&T makes an official statement on this odd issue. Hell, I’d be happy with just another Luke Wilson pep talk. [Consumerist]

Zipcar, that post-dot-com-era savior of car-rental-haters everywhere, recently got a big boost to its already somewhat high-tech take on part-time car acquisition with the launch of its iPhone app. A mix of simple map-based search and reservation functionality and a neat headline-getting software remote to lock, unlock, and honk the horn on your car–it’s a nice mix. I was sure to download the app as soon as I could, since I’m a frequent Zipcar user in New York City. Or, at least, I used to be. See, there’s an area of Zipcar that could still use some improving.

The actual capability to find one’s reserved car, for instance. For two consecutive weeks, Zipcar promised me a vehicle that simply wasn’t there.

Week one: I had reserved a car less than 10 blocks from me. The day before my reservation, a customer service representative called me on my iPhone to tell me that my vehicle needed “emergency steam-cleaning,” and rerouted my reservation to one of the only available emergency cars left on short notice, which was located miles away. I’d need to take a cab there and back or use an elaborate path of subways and buses, and the representative told me to save my taxi receipts and fax them to Zipcar so that I could be reimbursed.

Week two was worse. …

It had become such a problem that I finally decided I’d had enough last week and that I’d ditch Time Warner Cable’s HD DVR for a TiVo HD. For $239.99 at Best Buy (the company was offering it on sale–the TiVo HD usually retails for $299.99), it was a great deal. I also paid $129 to get one full year of TiVo service.

My new toy.

With the TiVo HD in hand last Monday, I was ready to enjoy my new toy. I contacted Time Warner Cable to get all the details I needed to get set up.

Training anyone?

When I called Time Warner Cable last Monday, I was extremely displeased by the company’s customer service. No one quite understood what I was talking about when I told them that I wanted to switch from my HD DVR to the TiVo HD. I asked them what the set-up process was. I wanted to know if I lost any channels.

After waiting for about five minutes for the customer-service representative to find information on the TiVo (“Sorry, we don’t get many of these requests,” she told me), she finally read to me, verbatim, what it said on her sheet.

According to the technician, I would need to have a multichannel CableCARD installed to get my programming. Unfortunately, I would lose several channels even with the CableCARD. I was told by the agent that I would need a Switched Digital Video adapter in addition to the CableCARD to retrieve those channels. An SDV adapter is basically a black set-top box that connects to the TiVo HD, allowing you to watch switched digital video channels. It’s a fancy term for saying that Time Warner Cable is trying to save bandwidth.

Somewhat satisfied by the information, I told the agent that I wanted to schedule an appointment for a Time Warner Cable technician to come to my house and install both the CableCARD (you’re not allowed to install it yourself) and the SDV adapter. No luck. The agent told me that I would first need to go to the Time Warner Cable Web site and fill out an online form. Upon doing so, I was put in line to receive an SDV adapter.
