{"title":"Harman \/ Kardon","description":"The story of Harman Kardon is largely the story of Sidney Harman. \nIn 1939, after he completed his education, he found a job in the engineering department of the David Bogen Company, a firm that made public-address sound systems. He and his boss, chief engineer Bernard Kardon, quickly became friends.\u003cbr\u003e\n \nHe responded to the customers’ needs by innovating. In the early 1950s, Harman and Kardon wanted Bogen to let them simplify the controls on the company’s public-address systems. Also, after customizing Bogen loudspeakers to play records in their own homes and noticing how much their guests loved the machines’ sound.\nIn 1953, Harman resigned from his current post taking Kardon with him.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis marked the Birth of Harman Kardon","products":[{"product_id":"harman-kardon-drive-play-ipod-car-kit","title":"Harman Kardon Drive + Play iPod Car Kit","description":"Anyone that has ever operated the iPod in a vehicle knows that this is no easy task. You must take your eyes off the road, and operating the click wheel while the vehicle is moving is difficult and dangerous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can think of Harman Kardon's new Drive+Play as the iPod broken down into three pieces:\u003cbr\u003eThe Drive+Play display can be mounted on top of the dash or on the windscreen, getting it up high and in view while driving. The bright, multi-line LCD screen displays all the iPod track information, as well as playlist and setup menu functions. Customise the display with adjustable contrast, dimming, font size, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Drive+Play controller will be familiar to iPod users as it has a rotating dial around its perimeter, four corner buttons, and a push to enter in the middle. This can be mounted where comfortable whilst driving - down on the center console is a great place. The iPod can be simply put in the glove box or center console as you will not need to access it when using Drive+Play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe main unit houses all of the electronics and is what the iPod, display, and controller connect to. There is also a wirelss FM modulator built in. This broadcasts your iPod music to one of 5 factory set frequencies or one that you define yourself. In addition, the audio output jack can connect the Drive+Play to vehicles that have an auxiliary input or to an aftermarket receiver that has an auxiliary input. This connection will provide the best quality audio. The main unit also has an auxiliary input allowing you to use the Drive+Play to route other audio signals into the vehicle's audio system. You can connect audio from a portable navigation unit, or even a mobile phone. A handy signal-sense feature automatically switches to the auxiliary input when audio is detected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails of Harmans official fitting service (wecanfit.co.uk) is included when you purchase this system.","brand":"Harman \/ Kardon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57407500812620,"sku":"HARMANKARDONDRIVE+PLAY","price":117.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/harmankardon_drive_play.jpg?v=1777457883"},{"product_id":"harman-kardon-he-1000-external-infrared-remote-sensor","title":"Harman Kardon HE 1000 External Infrared Remote Sensor","description":"We don’t know of many people hiding Harman Kardon® components behind closed doors, but just in case, a remote sensor for your system’s IR remote control only makes sense.
