For many people when it comes to choosing a car it is no longer just about the performance of the car itself but also the in-car entertainment which can play a major part in the final decision.

Digital technology, has, of course, made a huge impact in the way both in car entertainment and even information is delivered and with a huge range of technology on offer, especially in term of the more familiar audio systems, we take a look at which cars really do have the best in-car entertainment.

When it came to configuring a sound system for the Volkswagen CC, Danish company Dynaudio settled on a 600-watt system with 10 speakers and a 10 channel digital amplifier, which features Digital Sound Processor technology. For a complete all round sound experience that gives home stereo system quality, this car has it all – with 2 tweeters in both front and back doors, 2 centre channel speakers and 4 woofers all mounted in the doors of the CC.
