In this technology-driven era, it’s easy and inexpensive to make your driving experience safer and more enjoyable. With all the latest and trending car accessories and technology available, there are plenty of ways to improve any car and commute.
We’ve put together a list of these great accessories, dividing them into devices that will help as you drive, help in emergencies and keep your car neat and tidy.
For driving
Car phone holder
It’s illegal to use a mobile phone while driving unless it is in a car phone holder. Attach the holder to your dash or windscreen and you can easily see your phone to use it for maps, music and even call friends and family.
Dashboard grip pad
Like the phone holder, a dashboard grip pad is made to make driving easier. It can safely hold your phone while you drive, as well as giving a handy place to store sunglasses, keys and more. The simple design grips naturally to your dashboard and can be removed with ease.
Bluetooth FM transmitter
If your car doesn’t have a Bluetooth connection or auxiliary port, it can be hard to play your music through your car stereo. However, with a Bluetooth FM transmitter, you can tune the transmitter to a specific empty station and broadcast your favorite songs. All you need to do is then switch the radio to that station.
Dash cam
Mounted on the dashboard of a car, a dash cam can be a great way to record a road trip but can also come in handy if you ever have a car accident. It will record exactly what happens and may prove useful when claiming insurance.
Reversing camera
If safety is a priority for you, you need a reversing camera. This camera gives you a clear view of exactly what’s behind you, so you can reverse in safety. You may find this especially useful if you have small children, pets or a large vehicle that is difficult to see around. With a reversing camera, you no longer have a rear blind spot.
For emergencies
Smart car locator
A real-time device that lets you find your car by using an app on your phone. Using a special geolocatable device, you won’t ever forget where you’ve parked your car again.
Bluetooth key finder
Another smart technology to take advantage of is the Bluetooth key finder. Simply attach the Bluetooth tile to your keys and download the phone app. Next time you misplace your keys, the app can guide you to them.
Car battery jumper
If you’re planning on a road trip or have an unreliable car, you need a portable car battery jumper. With this kit, you won’t be stuck waiting for someone else to come along, you can jumpstart your car on your own.
Tyre pressure monitoring kit
Low tyre pressure can make driving dangerous, so get your hands on a tyre pressure monitoring kit so you can keep on top of it.
To keep things tidy
Car trash can
If you go on long drives or have kids, sometimes a little mess in the car is unavoidable. However, to keep that mess under control, install a car trash can. This way, it’s much easier to keep your car clean.
Car vacuum
Along with a car trash can, a car vacuum is a must for anyone who spends a lot of time in their car. It can vacuum crumbs, dust and even pet hair. They store away easily and run on a battery for quick and easy cleans.
Console insert for extra storage
Add some more storage space to your car with a console insert. It slots between the console and the front seats and is perfect for keys, your phone, sunglasses and everyday bits and pieces. It also stops things from slipping in between the seat and the console.
Car seat organiser
If you like to keep plenty of emergency and must-have items in your car, a car seat organiser is the perfect accessory. Slip this fabric storage piece over the back of a seat and you can slot all sorts of items, like hats, sunscreen, water bottles and even kids’ toys. This can help stop the footwalls and backseats from becoming a mess.
Car boot organiser
The next time you go shopping, you’ll be grateful for the car boot organiser. It can keep all your essentials in place, like emergency first aid kits or tools for a changing tyre, but also be a great way to make sure shopping stays upright on the drive home.
If you love your car and won’t to get the most out of it, there are plenty of great accessories and gadgets to improve your daily drive or next road trip. Which ones will you get?
