Fun Fact #2 - The Car Radio History(Brief)

Posted by dannyp on 3/09/2009 09:26:00 PM in , , , , , ,
So, I heard this on the radio while driving home from Waterloo this weekend, courtesy of the Allan Cross of 102.1 The Edge.

Back in the 1920's when automobiles were first being massed produced, the car did not feature a radio. It wasnt until the 1930's when Motorola was established mainly for creating the car radio.  By the 1950's the FM radio was the main feature of the radio.

As we know, later on the cassette player became the high seller on the radio, next came the Compaq disc, CD, and then the Ipod adapters and Satellite Radio became the latest invention to add onto the classic radio.

The interesting fact is that now, in 2009, cars can be bought without the radio, all due to the recession. This makes for an interesting cycle that we always see in all elements of life, like fashion and media. The cycle has come in full turn now although cars have all the wires and connections in the right place so that people can add a radio in the future if they wish to do so.

Thats all for this time
