Couple invents cell phone car stereo
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to drive your car in rush hour traffic while making an important business call without getting lost in the midst of madness? These days, the problems with talking on a cell phone while operating a vehicle include discomfort and the threat to safety that such a situation creates. Sometimes, the cord can become tangled on your leg or your phone could fall, taking your focus from the road and causing a serious accident. Ultimately, phone conversations and driving do not mix, so one would wonder why consumers are willing to put themselves in harm's way for a conversation - in many cases, an insignificant one. That same thought is what inspired Desiree and Shawn M. to invent the Cell Phone Car Stereo. While watching the evening news about cell phones and the legality of their usage while driving, the local residents decided that something had to be done. They figured; why not create a hands-and-cord-free cell phone for the car?
It would benefit consumers, government and society; consumers would no longer be inconvenienced and uncomfortable talking on the phone while driving, and their hands would be on the steering wheel, as they should be. Government would spend less time on minor laws and, for society as a whole, car accidents and injuries would be cut down. "The Cell Phone Car Stereo won't save everyone, but it will prevent many accidents and possibly deaths from occurring," said Desiree. For a year now, Desiree and Shawn, armed with a product diagram and concept, have been pushing their idea to manufacturers across the nation, but the process has been an uphill climb. The couple has partnered with Invention Technologies, Inc., which has assisted them in getting the word out about their invention. Shawn says, "Invent-Tech has helped with press releases, trade shows, created media packets, etc."
They both have been trying to sell their product to JVC, Sanyo, Power Acoustic Electronic, and BOSE. Desiree said, "The process has been a little frustrating, but my husband and I know this is a great invention that needs to be out there for the consumer." The couple has patented their creation so no one can ever take their idea. In the meantime, they are facing the challenges of convincing manufacturers to believe in their creation; but once they do, Desiree and Shawn said, the public will gobble it up.
