Competition alert! While we’re not done giving away a PlayStation Move, we’re now also offering two readers the chance to win a Sony iPod dock worth £180. Want to bag one? Tell us how you’d pimp out your ride with gadgets. Read on, it’ll make sense when you see the video…

Thanks to Sony, we’re giving away two RDP-X50iP iPod docks and three pairs of Active Series earphones.

In addition, when it comes to burning off your Christmas excesses, the Active Series earphones are specifically made for sports use.

The Sony Audio team has been busy recently, building a tricked-out, pedal powered bike with extra Sony pizazz. Its Bassbike appeared on SB:TV alongside Flo Rida, Tinchy Stryder, B.O.B, Labrinth and Griminal. To win some new Sony products, have a look at the video below and tell us… How would you pimp your ride?

Would you put a Wall of Sound iPod dock on the back? A hottub on the spokes? Maybe all you need is a killer piece of bodywork and a swanky new paint job…

    Erm, does this have to be for a bike? Or anything like a car for example.

    I'd start off by putting in a large android tablet such as the Samsung Galaxy to replace my standard radio for watching movies and listening to music. I'd also put 2 small cameras at the front of the car looking to the left and right so that I can see around parked cars when coming up to junctions and one at the rear to use as a reversing camera. The cigarette lighter would be replaced with a rechargeable torch. I'd love to put a LED sign handy for when stupid drivers cut you up so I can show them my appreciation in nice bright red letters :)

    I would recreate my street and have my chav neighbours being evicted

    my push bike would be a 3 wheeler, so i could fit a low riding seat to start and an electronic number plate that i can edit at anytime to tell people what i think of them. The wheels would have spinners made from all the left over iphone 3gs as there more aerodynamic. on the frame id fit a cradle for my blackberry so it can charge and play mp3's from it. on the handle bar 2 ipads, 1 to act as a keyboard the other 2 watch tv while im cycling into people. finally either side of me and on the end of each handle bar id fit Bose Acoustimass Speakers with a centre speaker between the 2 ipads for full 5.1 surround sound.

    I'd have a transformer vehicle. The driver's seat would come out on its own wheels and have blu tooth connection to the vehicle. The seat would be charged with solar panels on the roof and would lift gently and recline enabling it to be used as an office chair. It would be fitted with touch screen, headphones and mic. Voice dialling of course and onlookers woul watch it in awe not pity

  • Darkninjadave

    I'd crash my ride through the window of an XPLOD stockist and run whatever sticks.

    I've pimped up my ford ka by putting a speeder on the back, and better wheels so it rides better and I do like to drift when I go cruising with my friends. I put amps in the back to help me get a better sound when driving so I can have a real boogie. Lastly I put LED lights on so it looks the business!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=695359803 Archi Campbell

    I'd rig a pair of ipod touches on each of my handlebars that connect wirelessly to two rear-facing night-vision capable cameras to give me visibility at all times. I'd also have an ipad mounted in the middle to serve as my GPS system. The three would also operate in tandem to give me stereo sound and I'd have a subwoofer on the crossbar. I'd add a retractable spike system to the tyres (similar to that seen on the Aston Martin Vanquish in Die Another Day. No invisibility cloak though – that would just be ridiculous) so that I could ride on ice, and a jet engine on the back to give me a boost when I need it.

    I don't think that's too unrealistic…

    I would cover my bike in pink fur and Swarovski Crystals and some lovely stabilisers as I can't ride a bike :-) ……I would have a Garmin Sat Nav on the handlebars so's I don't get lost, and a reclining backrest so I can lean back and watch the overhead 60″ 3D Tv which also keeps the rain off. It would have a built-in Apple iPad for the partaking of cool retro games. The side panels would have built in mini fridge for snacks and a built-in coffee machine. It would have auto-pilot as I may be distracted by all the toys and also an automatic flying option in case I cause a crash with all my bling

    I'd add one of those funky little balls onto my aerial, my friends don't call me the king of bling for nothing!

    I would pimp my ride by, using a Android phone to track the bike, like the iphone in the scooter a few months ago.

    My bike would have slightly smaller wheels, making it faster and would have an Action Video Camera for mountain biking etc for the whole adventure to be recorded without risking safety or anything.

    I would also have an iPad or iPhone 4,Infact, if not those two, a samsung galaxy tab for its portability, mounted in between the handle bars, so i can navigate to where ever i need.
    I would have an LED back Plate/Sign on the back of the bike, so i can indicate left, or right, along with the LED lights being able to write messages.

    I would also have a bike audio speaker system on the bike, for great sound. Along with the iPhone 4/Instead of the iPhone, i would have a Garmin Edge 705 GPS-enabled Cycle Trainer. I would also have a camera mounted onto my helmet, which links with the video camera on the front of my bike, so i have 2 different footages. I would have a small hood/case over the middle of my handle bars, to protect the iphone etc. So i can use my phone but not risk safety, i would get a Bluetooth headset mounted and circuited onto my helmet.

    I would have two small cameras on the back, and would have 2 small monitors near the side of my handle bars, so i can see whats behind me, clearly.

    Lights are very important, specially when travelling alot with the bike. I would have a Stella 200, pretty high-end bike light, with small dimensions, weighing under 300 grams and a 3-hour recharge time.

    If i plan on, or have someone else riding my bike, who wants their baby to come along, a decent baby seat is 100% needed.
    I would have either the Britax Jockey Comfort Bike Seat or BabySeat 2 from Topeak as it offers some great protection and versatility.

    If i was to do a car, id put an ipad behind the seats of the car, for all the family! For them to watch movies, play games or apps. Id have a R/C HEATED BACK / SEAT MASSAGER HOME OFFICE & CAR ID have an iPod dock in the front of the car, instead of the stereo, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab in the stereo area too.

    I would have small cameras, 2 at the front, back and rear, which i would be able to monitor with my ipad/samsung tab so that I can see around parked cars and for parrarel parking. Id also have a pull down 3D TV mounted on the roof of the car, if you can picture that? It will pull down from the top, and then people from behind can enjoy 3D, Blueray movies!

    Along with the tv, i would have a PS3/Xbox 360 hooked up to the TV, only for the back of the car though, so the driver doesn't get distracted :) Would be great for when you have friends in the car, or kids. I would have speakers built in all around in the boot,for fully surround sound/full cinema type movies, gaming surround and for that extra music sound!

    The doors would open on hydraulics so the door looks awesome, so you dont have to worry about shutting the doors properly either. The boot would also have Blue LED lights in the boot, for those dark hours with the car! Besides, it'll look awesome :D

    All the seats would have back massaging and heat on the chairs. For those long hours of driving! Id also have a Bluetooth®, 7″ / 17.78 cm WGVA touchscreen, rear USB, iPod/iPhone,SensMe™, ZAPPIN™, 4x52W, Centre Speaker Organizer. I would also have a Sony Subwoofer Model: XS-GTX121LS in the car. Awesome sound! :D

    Hope my entry is done well :) Thankyou.
