Get to Know the Latest Driver Safety Technologies

March 22, 2017 By Staff

Driver-Safety-Technologies-1 Get to Know the Latest Driver Safety Technologies Tunes N Tint in Lakeland is an award-winning retailer that puts a lot of focus on driver safety technologies. In recent years, vehicle manufacturers have raised awareness for many of these products. What you might not know is that we can add them to almost any vehicle. Follow along as we explore the latest in driver safety technologies.

Forward Collision Warning Systems

Nowadays, lots of things distract us while driving. Fortunately, forward collision warning systems are here to help. If you are following someone in front of you too closely, a visual and audible alert sounds so you can allow more distance between yourself and the car you are following. Should a situation in front of you require your immediate attention to avoid an accident, the system alerts you, giving you time to stop safely. If you start drifting out of your lane, you get an alert, and if the system picks up a pedestrian or cyclist in front of you, it lets you know.

Blind Spot Systems

When you are driving up the road, wouldn’t it be great if you could know whether someone was in your blind spot before changing lanes? Our blind spot sensor system does just that. If it detects something in your left blind spot, the left indicator inside your car illuminates. If it detects someone in your right blind spot, the right indicator illuminates. If you decide to activate your blinker while someone is in your blind spot, an audible alert sounds as the second line of defense.

360-degree Camera Systems

Driver-Safety-Technologies-2-300x171 Get to Know the Latest Driver Safety Technologies Have you ever noticed how it seems there is less space to maneuver in a parking lot these days? Wouldn’t it be great if you could see all the way around your vehicle and know for sure you weren’t going to hit something? Well, our 360-degree camera systems give you a birds-eye view all the way around your car, truck or SUV. Even better, it gives you a backup camera when you’re in reverse and blind spot cameras that activate whenever you activate either of your turn signals.

Parking Sensor Solutions

At some point, we all have to back up, usually into a parking space. Typically, it is hard to judge how much distance we have from the back of our vehicle and whatever is behind us. Parking sensors add depth perception in a simple, elegant solution that allows you to know how much room is left behind you.

Driver-Safety-Technologies-3-300x199 Get to Know the Latest Driver Safety Technologies Tunes N Tint flushes small sensors in your rear bumper that use infrasonic technology to know what is behind you. Inside, you get audible and visual alerts of the distance. As you get closer to an object, the alerts go from a slow beep to a fast beep and finally a constant tone, alerting you of your proximity to the object. The visual display also gives you an approximation of distance.

We like parking sensors because their performance is not affected by rain or lack of light outside, while a camera is affected by both. For the ultimate in backup safety, we always suggest both parking sensors and a camera. If you often have to park face-in, we can add front sensors to help you avoid damage to your vehicle and items near it.

Driver Safety Technologies Need Skilled Installers

Once you decide to get any of these driver safety technologies installed in your car, truck or SUV, you need a shop that has skilled technicians. Tunes N tint employs some of the finest installers in the area who are well-versed in modern vehicle electronics. Our reference-standard installation methods ensure you will have a product that will last for years and years.

Not All Window Film is Created Equal

March 20, 2017 By Staff

Window-Film-2 Not All Window Film is Created Equal Tunes N Tint in Lakeland is a Certified Window Film Specialist and offers the finest window tinting available for the money. During our conversations with clients, the subject of price often comes up. What we have found from our years and years of experience is that most people don’t realize that not all window film is created equal.

Window Film that Doesn’t Turn Purple or Fade

Have you ever driven up the road and noticed a car with window film that looks purple? Well, they didn’t buy it that way. Inexpensive tint is not color-stable like our products. As it sits out in the sun, in just a few short months, the film moves from a black look to a purple shade. It happens because the dye in the film can’t handle the sun’s UV rays. Rest assured, all the window film sold at Tunes N Tint is color-stable, so it won’t turn purple.

No Large Bubbles – Ever

Another problem with low-cost window film is it delaminates. At the minimum, tint is going to have two layers. One has the glue on it that sticks to your glass and one has the color in it. Cheap film can’t take the heat and the film starts to pull apart, creating those large bubbles. Again, our film will never do that.

Incredible Heat Reduction

Window-Film-4-300x225 Not All Window Film is Created Equal We all know that it gets hot in Florida. Very hot. You know that rush of hot air escaping when you open your car door on a hot, sunny day? It is caused by what’s known as the greenhouse effect – the sun is heating up the air inside your vehicle.

Our top two window film grades, Crystalline and Color Stable, offer dramatically reduced interior temperatures compared to a basic film.

Another benefit of our heat-reducing film is comfort level you feel while driving. Our Crystalline film is made up of more than 200 layers, using a technology that is unique to 3M. It offers the finest clarity and best heat reduction of any window film on the market. If you want the biggest improvement you can get, this film is for you. Our Color Stable film is a traditional product offered by 3M that still has wonderful heat reduction properties.

Protect Your Skin and the Interior

Every year, we hear more and more stories of people getting skin cancer. Dermatologists suggest avoiding long-term exposure to direct sunlight. When you are driving, the left side of your body is often exposed to the sun. Maybe you have noticed your skin looking darker on your left side if you spend lots of time behind the wheel? That’s from exposure to UV rays. Imagine the long-term effects. Our Crystalline film is so effective at eliminating the sun’s harmful UV rays that it is endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Come See Our Interactive Display

Window-Film-1-300x225 Not All Window Film is Created Equal The best way to know you are getting the window film that best meets your needs is by visiting Tunes N Tint in person. Let us show you our interactive display, which lets you feel the difference in heat reduction. You can also see our computer-controlled plotter station, where we use modern science to cut your film before applying it, as opposed to most shops, which use your vehicle as a cutting board.

If you are looking for the best window film solution for your car, truck or SUV in the Lakeland area, come see us. You can also click HERE to contact us about any of our products and services.
