Simple technologies will make cars smarter
If you are a regular driver, you should not ignore these accessories to make your car smarter.
Bluetooth wireless audio receiver:
 |
| If your phone doesn't have a headphone jack, a Bluetooth car audio receiver is a great way to stream your favorite music. Just plug it into your car stereo via a cassette adapter (if your car has an AUX input, it will work), and you'll be streaming music over Bluetooth without any cables. |
Dash cam
 |
| This is a very practical device to prevent break-ins or as evidence in the event of an accident, so you should invest in a dash cam. Aukey dash cams can record 1080p video, have a 170-degree viewing angle, and can be mounted to your car. You will need to buy a microSD card for the camera to record video, and these are now quite cheap for users to invest in. |
Automatic Pro
 |
| Automatic Pro is a pretty powerful car gadget. It plugs into your car’s ODB port and sends information to your smartphone. This information includes stats, the ability to tell you where to park (very handy at shopping malls), and if something is wrong with your car when the check engine light comes on. Automatic Pro also sends you an alert every time you start driving, so if your car is stolen, you’ll know exactly when and where it went missing. |
Wireless charging price
 |
| The iOttie Easy One Touch Qi Wireless Fast Charge Car Mount costs $49.95 and is a convenient way to wirelessly charge your phone, including your iPhone. This is considered a worthy upgrade, especially when you have long trips in your car. |
Alexa-enabled battery charging
 |
| Roav, a subsidiary of tech accessory maker Anker, has launched a car charger with a built-in voice assistant. That means you can play music from your favorite streaming services using your voice, control smart home devices while on the go, and use any Alexa skills you normally would. |
