Must have APPS of 2012 for your car and home audio system.

Pandora !!!! Internet radio app is my personal favorite !!! The free version is cool, lets you make "smart play list" of your favorite artist and groups their music together with music from similar artist that for the most part work well together. The free app gives you about 6 commercial free songs in a row , then i squeezes in a 15 second commercial (still better than FM radio 10 min of music 15 min of commercials), put if you pay the 30 a year (like i did) you get 100% commercial free listening!!! That $2.50 a month !!!! you cant beat that! Almost all the new 2012 CD and multimedia head units we sell  here at the shop supports Pandora direct control for IPhone , Ipad and Ipod touch (when in wifi) from the head unit including song names , artist info, and album artwork. Allot of the new ones even support Pandora direct from Android devices.

All 2012 BMW with with factory option 6NR, "BMW Apps." come factory equipped with Pandora !!

It also comes in some Hyundi , Fords, GM, Toyota and Scion!

My vote for the second must have app for the car is Spotify.

Available for PC, Mac, Iphone, Ipod touch, and Android. It is free to use on your PC or MAC but if you want to use it in your car , around the house or on you mobile device, it's gonna cost you $10 a month for premium service plan.

Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs. Unlike Pandora There is no free version of the service (but it is commercial free) They offer a 48 hour free demo of the service. Spotify service is $10 a month . The 2 Major differences between Spodify and Pandora is that Spodify gives you complete albums Pandora does not, Spodify allows you download and store your favorite music for offline use on up to 3 devices or computers (as long as you keep your subscription active).

Using the Offline mode

With Spotify Premium, you get the super-handy Offline mode. You decide which playlists you’d like to make sacred, and Spotify will sync the tracks to your computer or phone.
This means your favorite playlists will always be there for you, whether you’ve got access to the internet or not. Great news for travelling on planes and trains, or lazing on a beach.

How to...

Just switch Available offline to the ON position for any of your play lists that you’d like to include. Or right-click on a play list name and select Available offline.

Go offline whenever you like

You can also ‘Force Offline’ on your mobile phone at any time. Spotify will wave goodbye to the Internet and go offline. Perfect if you’ve got a low battery or want to reduce Internet use.
Offline mode allows you to sync tracks on up to three computers or mobiles phones at the same time. Each can sync a maximum of 3,333 tracks. Not 3,334, in case you were wondering.

NetFlix is my number 3 choice. If you already have a netflix account (with streaming) you can view (older) movies unlimited and free in your car and on your Iphone, Ipad and android device. All the new 2012 multi media head units with APP mode or Ipod by have mode that we stock support Netflix. Tv shows , movies, Pod cast and more!!!  Love it !!!

My number 4 choice is Motion X GPS navigation

Its $1 to try and $10 a year for the full version.
Why i like it and why i thing it's worth it? It's a hi quality navigation app that works with all multi Media head units that support App mode or Ipod by hand mode. So you can buy a Non Navigation multi media head unit (normally half the cost of a built in nav unit) and upgrade it to Navigation for only $10 a year !!! It allows you to play music from your phone or access Pandora while navigating and you can also make and receive phone call via blue tooth while using the Nav app.

My number 5 app is Sirius Xm mobile app.

Why i like it? You can all ways have you favorite Sirius and xm station with you in the car and at home or even at the gym! the service is linked to the app on your phone , not your car or you home!
also long as you have a unlimited data plan on your phone or other Mobile device you are good to go.
The only thing i don't like about the service is that you have to already have a xm / Sirius subscription $16 a month and them add Internet listening another $3 o month for a total of almost $20 a month after taxes and fees. I don't think that's fair. I hope that in the future they offer a Internet only listening package for $10 a month or less ($5 a moth would be great ).

Check back soon , more App recommendations to come soon.
Stop by the shop to check out all of these new technologies and give these APPs a test drive.
