The average man dreams of the day when he can tell his special lady to get a boob job and follow it up with an at home install simply by going online, ordering breast implants, and waiting a couple of weeks for delivery before busting out his tools, slicing her open, and doing a home install, but until that day your going to have to make do with treating your car like that pretty darling you wish you could take to bed tonight minus a couple ton of course. With Custom Billet Upgrades you can swap your factory built door handles, dome lights, window cranks, steering column trim, and other parts for shiny chrome and aluminum replacements that can make any descent vehicle start turning heads like Pamela Anderson running down the beach in a Baywatch swimsuit chased by a hairy man from Kazakhstan. You could buy the best car off the lot, but without Custom Billet Parts your car will be like Paris Hilton in her Bently. Flat chested and the butt of cruel jokes by people like Sarah Silverman who once said “People say ‘Pamela Anderson’s nothing without her tits!’ And that’s not true! That is ‘not’ true!… She’d be Paris Hilton” while riding in a car that high end Billet parts and accessories would transform into a thing of exterior beauty as if the driver herself got a boob job or swapped cars with Pamela Anderson. Your exterior door handles, license plates, and windshield wiper arms will look very nice, but wont need any future replacement implants or face lifts.You may be thinking so what if my ride has no special assets, it looks just fine after a few beers and a bong hit. Maybe exterior beauty doesn’t matter to you, but what about your inner beauty? Brake fluid reservoirs need love too just like window cranks and dome lights. You won’t impress a special lady with a binged out exterior and used car lot soiled cushion bling free interior. With a good foundation vehicle, Billet interior, and Billet exterior it won’t be long until the Billet Specialists at BilletBuilder.com turn your hairy Kazakh beast of a ride into a babe magnet with rock star sex appeal to make your dreams come true.
According to the market research firm iSuppli Corp., automotive navigation systems increasingly are transitioning from standalone devices to connected systems capable of accessing up-to-date map data and other information from the cloud.
About 20 percent of in-vehicle navigation systems sold in 2010 will include connectivity, either through an embedded modem or a tethered mobile device, amounting to 1.8 million units. This will rise to 90 percent in 2017, amounting to 27 million units.
Cloud-sourced navigation is an evolution of connected navigation systemsa trend that started several years ago. Traditional car navigation systems use databases stored on the device itself but future navigation systems will rely on information that is stored in the cloud. Maps, points of interest, traffic and weather are examples of cloud-sourced content that is enabled through connectivity.
Rising sales of navigation systems with two-way connectivity are being fueled by the advantages of connecting to the cloud, said Phil Magney, Vice President (Automotive Research) at iSuppli. By connecting to the cloud, navigation systems give motorists access to the most up-to-date databases in the world. Traffic, weather, and points of interest change constantly, so access to the cloud is vital.
Static databases will become a thing of the past in automotive navigation during the next 10 years, said Egil Juliussen, Principal Analyst & Fellow (Automotive Research) at iSuppli. Connectivity means motorists will have multiple options in terms of on-board and off-board navigation resources.
On-board connected navigation systems that store maps on the device will refresh periodically to reflect changes and updates. In contrast, off-board navigation systemswhich access a server for map datawill need constant connectivity. Both employ cloud-based data access.
Traffic information is the leading cloud-sourced service for navigation systems, which is constantly refreshed to reflect the latest updates. Several more cloud-based navigation services are being employed including weather information, Point of Interest (POI) search, destination download, traffic camera visuals and map updates.
Worldwide sales of all types of navigation systems will exceed 100 million units in 2010, with smart phones and Portable Navigation Devices (PNDs) accounting for the bulk of the units. Slightly more than 9 million in-vehicle navigation systems will be sold in 2010, dwarfed by the nearly 100 million PND and smart phone sales.
Smart phones will generate the growth in the navigation segment. PND shipments during the next decade are forecasted to be at about 40 million units. In comparison, 330 million smart phones with navigation will be sold in 2017.
Smartphone navigation increasingly is becoming free of charge and the use case is mostly in the autoalthough pedestrian navigation is beginning to emerge. By 2017, many of the smart phone-based navigation solutions will be integrated within the vehicle system where the display is shown on the head-unit and the voice guidance and voice input are through the vehicles Human Machine Interface (HMI).
