Car Gadgets: The Top Five Car Accessories

Key Locator

Phone, wallet … and then you can’t find keys. Avoid running around like a headless chicken before you leave the house by getting yourself a key locator. This little gadget attaches to your keyring and is one of the handiest accessories you can possibly imagine. Simply call the locator from your phone and find your keys! Alternatively, you can press a button on your locator and it will call your phone!

Dashcam

It’s unfortunate, but there are a lot of reckless drivers out there. The best way to prove that you aren’t one of them is with a dashcam. This car accessory records you while you’re driving so you can prove to your insurance company that an accident wasn’t your fault. It also takes note of your GPS location and your speed, which can be used as information to lower your car insurance. Win-win. 

Bluetooth Receiver

Everyone loves a good sing-song on a car journey. A Bluetooth receiver enables you to pair your device with your car so you can jam out to your favourite playlist! This tiny gadget accessory is perfect for cars that don’t have a built-in system and is great for when you’ve got backseat DJs that fancy putting on a few tunes of their own!   

Jump Starter

Never hang about on the side of the road again with this gadget accessory! A jump starter is perfect for when your car battery has gone dead or your car is getting on a bit and needs some encouragement to get going! A jump starter does exactly what it says – it jump starts your car. However, it can also be used as a portable charger for your devices – yes, it’s that small!

Air Purifier

Forget the tree-shaped car fresheners that dangle off your rearview mirror and invest in a car air purifier instead. This gadget does one better than covering any odours in your car – it eliminates them. Here’s the science behind it: the purifier releases millions of negatively charged ions that stick to the particles of odour which are then collected on a plate inside the device. Say goodbye to any wet dog and lingering drive-thru smells!     

From finding your keys to putting on your favourite road trip music, one thing’s for sure – these car accessories will make your next car journey a lot smoother!
