What is it? The Connect2Car Anywhere G2 is a vehicle security device which allows
control of your vehicle and its security systems from any
internet-connected PC or mobile device.
The CarMD device plugs into your car's OBD port and reads diagnostic information from the car's computer, immediately indicating the diagnostic status with a red-yellow-green light, and then downloading ALL of the computer information so that a more detailed analysis can be created after gathering code data from the web.
This Christmas, we managed to get our hands on a hot new gift item for any age or flavor of automotive enthusiast. "Road Mice" are American Muscle cars made to fit in the palm of your hand and serve as your mouse when you cruise the web. They are fast (800 dpi) and fun, and are officially licensed for the hottest new cars, the Mustang GT, Camaro, Corvette, and more.
For those who are looking for a device that will make your commute just a little bit safer, Cobra's new XRS-R9 laser/radar detector is definately worth checking out! Along with its standard detection of all forms of standard and laser radar, this device also boasts a GPS (Global Positioning System) feature which will warn you of “known” red light cameras, photo speed cameras, and even approaching school zones!

TECH2 LAKE HOUSE
UPDATE - The exterior of the Technology Lake House is complete and we are now working on interior finishing and electronics. Last year, San Francisco's Channel 7 ABC News ran a special video report on the construction progress of the Technology Lake House, and we expect them back for a follow-up soon. Click HERE for a DLINK Live Video Feed with pan and zoom features (userid=user, no password, daylight hours only).
Ron Rosberg's current project home, the Technology Lake House, is currently under construction on the shores of Clearlake in Northern California. Even though the house is a wireless demo house, we have installed more than seven miles of wires in the walls for dozens of flat panel TVs, speakers, control panels, and sophisticated lighting. So far, more than a dozen technology and fixture manufacturers have agreed to sponsor this project, which has been simmering in Ron's head since he attended the first CES show in New York in 1967. The 7,500 square foot project (plus three existing rustic cabin guest houses) is being built on a five-acre Honeymoon Cove resort with 500 feet of beach directly across from Konocti Harbor Resort. This summer retreat will host technology gatherings annually, inviting Western states home builders, contractors, and technology consultants for a live open house showcasing the latest in home technologies. There is room to park plenty of boats, so plan on coming up for some lake fun after the project is complete.

We are currently looking for products to evaluate in these areas:
- Home automation: lighting, security, and entertainment
- A/V technology for the 500 SF home theater media demo room
