Your car accessories don’t have to be super high-tech, as long they’re well engineered, solve a problem, and last a long time. Check out our list:
A BLUETOOTH PHONE ADAPTER
It lets you stream or make calls hands-free, and it plugs directly into your car’s radio so you don’t have to worry about finding a free FM channel to sync up with.
AN HD-CAPABLE DASH CAM
Dealing with a hit and run? There are a lot of bad drivers out there. A recorder dash cam might come in handy.
AN ELECTRONIC PARKING GUIDE
Not good at parking? Always parking too close? An electronic aid is a great way to make sure you stop in the exact same spot every single time.
A COLLISION-AVOIDANCE SYSTEM
Want to turn your car into a smart car? The system will warn you ahead of collisions with cars and pedestrians, or when you’re leaving your lane or speeding. You’d have to pay a couple of grand if you were to buy a new car with these advanced features.
REMOTE-CONTROLLED ANIMATED LED SIGNS
Drivers following you too closely all the time? There are over 50 different faces and words with which to express your dismay at the person behind you, and none of them involve you turning.
A CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER
If you’re in the middle of nowhere and need cellphone signal? What do you do? This cool gadget boosts your signal so you can make calls and have a faster and more consistent data speed.
A PORTABLE ELECTRIC COOLER
loving those road trips but you’re not enjoying your warm water or cold coffee? There is a solution.
A RADAR DETECTOR
Nobody likes getting speeding tickets. Better detectors can typically sniff out a photo-cop system 1/4 to 1/2 mile away.
