The Remote Control Car That Really 'Carries' Your Tunes!

SilverLit has been making remote control models of high-end cars for about two years now. But the latest model adds some very unique features. The iCONNECT Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Bluetooth car comes with RC Tunes. So not only do you have interactive Bluetooth remote control, you can play your tunes through the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. As with their other models, the car is controlled by your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad. But this clever vehicle also makes the classic connection between cars and music with “RC Tunes”. Using your own iTunes Library you can play your favorite songs two ways. You can have music play from your iDevice through the model car while you control it, so it’s like playing the radio in your car. Or you can stream music through the speakers in the car as a display item on your desk. But wait, there’s more! The unique gull-wing doors open remotely from your iDevice and headlight, plus signal lights flash to the beat of the music. You can pick custom light shows or pre-configured patterns. When driving the car full gesture tilt control allows you to control by tilting the controller. Digital sound effects straight from Mercedes deliver the rev of the engine and force feedback delivers the rumble of the engine that increases as you go faster (iPhone only). The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG body is crafted with great detail and authenticity features functional headlights, tail lights and even signal lights! App is free for download with purchase. MSRP: $129.99. Age: 8+ Available on the company website now, coming to stores in Spring 2013.
