Listening to music in the car can be a real pleasure. Whether on a long trip or just when it comes to covering a few kilometers. Current connectivity technology allows us to quickly link our smartphone to the vehicle’s infotainment system and have access to the most popular applications and a whole universe of music.
In addition, either wirelessly or via a cable, almost all cars on the market offer Apple CarPlay or Android Auto systems. And it is that music has that special force to evoke fascinating landscapes and encourage you to travel the world. And, above all, make us feel better behind the wheel.
A recent study by Seat in the United Kingdom determined that for most users the car is the preferred place to listen to music.

And, naturally, mythical groups like Queen, The Beatles, The Eagles and talents like Michael Jackson, Elton John, Van Morrison or Lady Gaga.
Another curious study carried out, in this case in Spain, concludes that 74% of Spanish drivers confess that they sing in the car. And that 96% admit that music avoids disputes during long journeys. It is not a minor matter.
