Abstract
The vehicular radio and recording system comprises a vehicle and a recording appliance. The recording appliance mounts in the vehicle. The vehicle further comprises a vehicle audio entertainment device, a VECU, and a steering wheel. The vehicle audio entertainment device further comprises an audio output. The recording appliance electrically connects to the vehicle audio entertainment device and the VECU. A portion of the recording appliance mounts on the steering wheel. The recording appliance: a) captures audible sounds generated within the vehicle and converts the captured audible sounds into electrical signals; and, b) captures electrical signals generated by the vehicle audio entertainment device. The recording appliance converts the captured electrical signals into one or more audio files for storage.
