Do you have children? You know that we all worry about them playing around vehicles. The largest single cause of injury and death of children in non-traffic accidents, is being backed over by a car. More than many other types of injury combined. Children being the most important avoidance, many many more cars are damaged by low lying, unseen objects behind your vehicle (curbs, posts, toys, etc etc).

If connected to your reverse system in the car, the video will automatically switch to the backup camera input, when you put your car in reverse.

CAMERAS

A note about our cameras: All of our cameras have been weatherometer tested (the apparatus in which backup cameras can be subjected to artificial and accelerated weathering tests which simulate natural weathering. Controlled cycles of ultraviolet radiation, light, salt, electric arcs, water spray, and heating elements are used to simulate the natural conditions of sun, rain and temperature changes) and are of the highest quality Sony CCD sensors. They are all 0.7 Lux or better (so they don't need those ugly LED's around the lens) and a very high resolution. You will certainly be able to find a cheaper camera, however, the old adage applies, "you get what you pay for".

CCD vs CMOS: The two types of image sensors that are available for rear view (backup) camera systems are the CCD ("charge coupled device") and CMOS ("complementary metal oxide semiconductor"). The type of image sensor that your rear view camera system uses will be the most important factor in determining picture quality. Besides the overall resolution, a camera that utilizes a CCD image sensor will provide significantly better images under very low and very bright lighting conditions (common in a vehicle application). In addition, CMOS sensors fail to provide an image at all, at moderately low and high tempertures (below 40 degrees and above 95 degrees). Nor will a CMOS image sensor will deliver the quality image that a CCD image sensor will provide. Many lower priced (and some more expensive) systems use the less expensive and inferior CMOS image sensor. Given the option, you should always select a rear view camera system that utilizes a high quality CCD image sensor from a well known manufacturer. Sharp and Sony CCD image sensors are the best available. If the system you're considering purchasing doesn't state that it utilizes a "CCD" image sensor, then it almost certainly doesn't.

Installation of a camera can be time consuming and you only want to do it once. At the time of this writing (August 2010), we have sold and installed over 6200 of our cameras since July 2006, and NOT ONE has failed. Each and every one is tested at the manufacturing facility and again just before shipment.

See in total darkness with the FLIR nightvision camera.

Cartronics.com has partnered with the world leader in nightvision equipment to bring you the PathFindIR camera. The camera can give you more time to react to road hazards than conventional headlights. It uses the same technology FLIR offers to military agencies to see at night. It features a 36° field-of-view lens, which provides excellent roadside awareness, even at long range. This gives you a better chance of seeing animals and pedestrians approaching the roadway before they become a danger.

See Clearly in Total Darkness

PathFindIR is a powerful thermal night vision camera that lets drivers see clearly in total darkness. Typical headlights only let you see about 450' straight ahead, but PathFindIR sees heat not light, so you can see everything in front of you. PathFindIR lets you see clearly, night and day, in good weather and bad, without being blinded by the glare of oncoming headlights.

See Road Hazards Sooner, Have More Time to Stop

More time means more options, smoother driving in emergencies, and more room to stop. It's the one thing that can help you avoid traffic accidents. With PathFindIR, you can see pedestrians, cars, animals, and virtually any other hazard from farther away, and as they approach the road from either side.

Benefits

• See pedestrians and vehilcels past the glare of oncoming headlights
• See many hazards from over four times farther away than with headlights
• See the sides of the road with PathFindIR's wide-angle view
• See through dust and smoke
• Have more time to react
• Avoid accidents and stay safe

Cartronics Rear Entertainment System (RES) is a fully integrated, "same as factory installed" rear entertainment solution for Audi.

Typical installation, yours may differ, depending on car and features	Installation with active restraint

The Cartronics.com rear entertainment system (RES) works just like a Audi factory installed system. It includes two color matched, material matched and stitch matched headrests with two DVD drives (one in each headrest). It also includes audio outputs, and two rugged headsets, each with a carrying case. One DVD can be used to display on both screens, or each screen can display it's own movie title. It is the our only certified aftermarket rear entertainment system for your Audi. Even if your car has pre-safe headrests (active head restraint), we include all necessary components to connect to your seat and satisfy your car's startup test requirments*. In short, it is designed to work just like a factory installed system would. Installation is straight forward and simple. It does not require any cutting or modification of the car at all, therefore does not void any manufacturers warranty. You can even include our VIM (Video In Motion) module and display the same video on your front NAV screen as well!

Should you choose not install it yourself, CarTronics offers a service to find a qualified installer for you. We offer this service to any customer that has already purchased a unit.

This Rear Entertainment System is NOT like many you may have seen. This system uses only the absolute best quality components from manufacturers such as Sony, Denon, and only top quality, manufacturer matched leather. The shape of the headrest, the color, grain and even the stitching will perfectly match the interior of your car. Since each set is custom sewn by our seemstress, delivery time is typically about two weeks from time of order. This set is custom made, and is not refundable. A tech will call you to verify details to make sure it is correct before production. If you need a lower cost solution see below.

These headrest systems use the same quality components as above, however the material is color matched only. The stitching, and grain may vary slightly as well as the shape of the headrest. If your car has active headrest restraint, and you wish to retain it, order the system above.* Shipping time is typically under 7 days.

*The ColorMatch kit is designed for cars without active headrest restraint. This kit can be installed on cars with active headrest restraint, as we can include a headrest restraint bypass kit at the your request. It will not harm the car in any way, or create any alarms in the car. However, doing so is completely at your own risk, as you are bypassing a safety feature built into the car. Cartronics or any hired installer assumes no liability for bypassing the active headrest restraint.

NEW!!! OEM Tire Pressure Sensors. If your car has the factory Tire Pressure Monitoring System - We can now offer OEM tire pressure sensors for your Audi for far less than dealer prices. We do recommend they be ordered in sets of 4, but can be ordered one at a time.

Cartronics Tire Pressure sensors feature a military specification lithium ion battery with a projected 5 to 7 year battery life. All sensors come complete with a unique valve stem assembly which incorporates a ball joint fitting allowing the sensor to be positioned in the optimum location to prevent any potential damage in service. All sensors are guaranteed 100 percent compatible with the vehicle. Up to 40 percent lesser cost than OEM suppliers

In 2008 many manufacturers started making TPM systems mandatory on all new vehicles sold in the U.S., but that was mostly safety related to prevent accidents that could be attributed to poor tire inflation. There was probably a little bit of "green thinking" involved in there, too as tire pressure relates to fuel economy and its impact on the nation's oil reserves. Some of these OEM devices are reported to be not as flexible as the Cartronics TPM. Now you can have the current technology (or better!) on any car.

What I like about this model is that you can set the Hi and Lo alarm limits for your application. (OEM TPMS systems might not allow you this flexibility because they don't want you changing anything.) The TPM's display will show green for tires within the limit and turn to red and sound an alarm when the pressure goes outside the limits. You can also set the device to show pressure only, temperature only, or to toggle between temperature and pressure as well as set a temperature alarm. It is also one of the easiest aftermarket devices I've seen to reset when you rotate your tires. You can even hide the display away in a glovebox or armrest and it will sound an alarm when it needs your attention to a problem. The display is only about the size of a credit card.

How It Works
The wireless tire pressure sensors are mounted on your wheels, inside your tires, using special valve stems (each sensor weighs only 1.24 oz). These sensors send pressure and temperature data via a digitally encoded, wireless signal to the receiver mounted in your vehicle. The sensors/transmitters are equipped with motion detectors that turns off data transmission to prolong their lithium batteries' life (estimated at more than 7 years of normal vehicle use).
The system's receiver or display installs like a radar detector; just choose a spot to mount it and plug it into your cigarette lighter or power port or hardwire it for a factory look.

for any car with 65psi rating or less tested on F1 race cars, so will work in any real world speed only 1.24oz sensors small display can be mounted anywhere, including unused cubbies and ashtray color flashing alert tire tempurature and pressure readins in SAE and Metric audible alert kit includes everything above (display and 4 sensors, power cable)
