If you are lucky enough to be able to buy a new car then it will probably come fitted with quite a decent stereo. If like many of us, you have an older vehicle, you may find that you only have a cassette player or worse still just a radio.

If you are looking to improve your system, there are many retailers that sell car stereo systems, even many supermarkets. If you want something a little more hi tech or a better quality system then you could visit a car audio specialist who will talk through what you want and recommend a system.

You should consider upgrading the speakers in the car too, if you want to improve the bass, volume and quality all-round.

Be aware that you may need to inform your insurance company of any changes in audio equipment. Often a standard policy will cover you for up to £250 for example, but this may need to be increased should you be investing more.
