Alpine has been making car stereos for the aftermarket for a number of years. The company has now announced that it will be bringing a new console unit to market later this fall that will allow you to add Apple CarPlay to your car. CarPlay will be offered as a factory option in some cars from major makers like Ford, GM, Honda, and others, so it’s good news that there will be an aftermarket option as well.
CarPlay lets iPhone users plug their smartphone into the car and then see content and controls on the car’s own screen. The idea is that it will be easier to see things like nav apps on the larger screen and drivers won’t need to take their eyes off the road, along with car-specific experiences for navigation, phone calls, messages, and music. The system also offers full Siri voice integration for voice control.
There is no word on what tech the Alpine CarPlay console will have. Presumably, it will feature more than just CarPlay integration with a normal radio and CD player, but that is unconfirmed. The Alpine unit is expected to cost $500 to $700 without installation.

There is nothing quite like taking a relaxing soak in your very own hot tub at the end of a particularly difficult day over at the office. Of course, you can have all of the extras around you, such as a glass of milk and some cookies, some aromatherapy essential oil burning away to soothe your cares and concern away. Now you might have been dreaming about installing a jacuzzi at home, but your budget does not permit you to do so. What better way to spend your money wisely then with the $69.99 Dual Jet Bath Spa?
The Dual Jet Bath Spa tells it all right from the get go – it will be able to transform any ordinary bath into a blissful and relaxing reprieve, giving it a new lease of life, so to speak. All that you need to do is hang it over the edge of your tub, use the included suction cups to secure it, and you’re good to go. Flip a switch and see the dual adjustable nozzles direct a soothing water flow to areas that require relief. There is also a “burst of bubbles” feature that works in tandem with adjustable intensity, giving you that complete at-home spa experience. It can be adjusted to accommodate just about any size tub, but do be careful since it plugs into an AC outlet.
