About CAR + SOUND

Friedrichshafen is the place to go for insight into the latest technology in car audio, mobile info- and entertainment, navigation and communication. Exhibitors from the car audio segment, manufacturers and dealers, set the scene for an acoustic and optical show of car hi-fi innovations and components, state-of-the-art technology and vehicle specific solutions.

Sound competitions accompany the event, with participants from all over Europe showing off their extravagant tuning conversions and competing for the highest sound pressure level.

At the same time as CAR+SOUND, Europe’s top tuning event TUNING WORLD BODENSEE also takes place at the Friedrichshafen showground. Since their amalgamation in 2010 the two fairs form Europe’s largest hot spot for the world of tuning and car audio with over 100,000 visitors.
