Travel basics Find the must-have gear for this holiday season at Frontier Electronics [Johannesburg, 11 December 2006] - Wherever you are going this holiday, you will need the right equipment to keep your family in amiable mood throughout the journey. Here is a basic car travel kit that ranks in importance just a notch below checking the brakes and tyre pressure: MP3 player Or several MP3 players. Essential because your nearest and dearest enjoy the beat that sets your teeth on edge (and vice versa). Frontier Electronics' flash drive-based 512MB and 1GB players are so affordable, you'll be humming a tune while buying them. MP3 on channel This one is designed for those special moments of family concord, when everyone feels like listening to the same notes. Of course, just then the radio stations will be busy either broadcasting ads or breaking up. That's when you reach for the MP3 on channel you got from Frontier Electronics. Couple it with a flash drive or any MP3 player (including iPod), sync it with the car radio's FM - and voila! The signal may even be picked up by the car behind you - therefore, do not be surprised if you attract quite a following. Cassette adaptor It does the same thing as MP3 on channel - that is, it enables you to listen to MP3 music on your car's audio system. Except that for this one you need a car with the good old cassette tape player. Though bottom-cheap, cassette adaptor guarantees excellent sound quality, providing your car is endowed with stereo capabilities. Extra flash drives For extra music, of course, or even an audio book or two, if you are inclined that way (and the kids have fallen asleep). All of the above will set you back from late R700's to early R2 000's, with the latter figure including - besides the MP3 on channel and cassette adaptor - three 1GB players and three 1GB flash drives. That is a small price to pay for a befitting start of holiday. Regard it as an investment in family harmony!
