Car Tech preview at CES 2009
Get a sneak peek at vendors setting up their booths in the Las Vegas Convention Center's North Hall. See which stereo companies, GPS manufacturers, and car tech goodies are on their way.
Wall of sound
The Phonics Audio booth features its wares neatly installed in a Plexiglas wall--a beautiful presentation.
Treo Engineering's tower of truck
Treo Engineering wins the prize for largest vehicle on the show floor with its larger-than-monster truck. This repeat CES visitor shows off a TV screen in the wheel well.
Knight Rider in the house
Mio's giant booth in North Hall features KITT, but no David Hasselhoff.
Sound quality parking lot
The Car Audio Sound Quality showcase looks more like a racing pit.
Bosch's bullish booth
Bosch is busy setting up a large stage/booth combo in the center of North Hall.
Boss Audio's showing
Boss Audio also makes a bold appearance at CES 2009.
Mitek's mighty demonstrations
The Mitek booth greets entrants to the hall with an astoundingly large speaker on a pedestal: the MTX Audio "Jack Hammer 24."
Kenwood's sweet rides
Kenwood audio's muscle cars look almost as fun as all the surrounding stereos.
Kicker's urban alley
Kicker Performance Audio's booth's gritty backdrop comes complete with spray-painted tags.
Smaller manufacturers converge
A large section of the North Hall houses many smaller--but still interesting--navigation and in-car tech system developers and manufacturers. This booth, for Ackton Transportation Technologies, introduces obstacle detection technologies.
iPhone goes auto
PosiMotion's booth promises the world's first "completely wireless gaming hub," and hints at deep iPhone integration.
High-energy car tech booth
Even car batteries run high-tech at CES 2009.
