Our Relationship With Aurora Design

The "No Excuses" Stereo Receiver PCB

Aurora Design is owned by an electronics engineer In Michigan who has worked with the auto industry for decades.  Many modern vehicles contain components of his design.  The business (before getting involved in these car stereos) has recently been concentrating on designing and building products for the video industry.

Tayman Electrical has been converting radios for several years; however the products made by our former supplier were discontinued without warning -- and replaced three months later with something inferior.  It was during this dilemma that Aurora contacted us -- timing couldn't have been better!  This engineer wanted to get involved with collector car radios, and the result of our conversation was a tiny PCB that could add FM to an original AM radio.  Novelty, right?  Guess again -- this little FMC-1 board PERFORMED!  Next thing you know, we were adding the FMC-1 Adapters to original radios instead of stereo conversions!  Though mono, and audio limited to that of the original radio, it was the better product!

The obvious next step was to build a stereo PCB to fill the void left by the other guys.  Not just another stereo, if anything it was OVER-designed!  Built to be "bulletproof" and "no excuses", the goal was to have a PCB with NO design bugs and IMMUNE to damage from faulty wiring or mistreatment.

In May 2013 we received the first prototype FMR Stereo Receiver.    View pictures of it here.  Performance was out of this world!  Production began immediately and by June 1 we were ready to convert ALL awaiting radios to the new FMR-1 Stereo.

In no time it became the "Stereo heard 'round the world!  The former supplier called to protest!  Radios began pouring in like hot cakes, with many of them former conversions asking for an upgrade!  Other dealers took notice and began switching to the Aurora product line.  THE FMR STEREO RECEIVER HAS BECOME THE NEW STANDARD!

We're not sitting still.  New features have been added, and options such as Bluetooth and USB are now available.  There's more to come -- stay tuned!

We're pleased and thankful that Aurora has introduced this line of products, and it's also rewarding to know that the products we now offer are the absolute best available.
