Upgrade your driving experience with a few smart, nifty car gadgets! From handy organisers to high-tech add-ons, these cool accessories bring comfort, convenience and a touch of fun to every ride.
A dashcam is a compact camera mounted on a car’s dashboard or windshield, that continuously records your driving. It serves as critical evidence in accidents, road rage or insurance claims. Many models offer loop recording, G-sensors to detect sudden impact and night vision for low-light driving. Always check the manufacturer's warranty before hardwiring the dashcam.
This is a safety device that checks your tyre pressure in real-time and alerts you of under-inflation, which can cause blowouts, poor mileage or uneven tyre wear. Nowadays almost all new cars already come with it. But simpler models may still need this device.
The On-Board Diagnostics Bluetooth scanner is a plug-in device that connects to your vehicle’s OBD2 port, usually below the dashboard, to read real-time data and diagnose engine problems. Paired with apps like Torque Pro or OBDLink, it gives detailed metrics like fuel efficiency, RPM, engine load, and error codes (DTCs).
A magnetic phone mount with Qi wireless charging combines safety, convenience, and minimalism for modern drivers. Brands like iOttie, ESR HaloLock, and Spigen OneTap offer MagSafe-compatible mounts that attach securely to dashboards, air vents, or CD slots. Your phone needs to support wireless charging for this to work.
Blind spot monitoring is a critical safety feature that can now be retrofitted via stick-on blind spot mirrors or aftermarket blind spot sensor kits. Compact convex mirrors (like Fit System’s adjustable mirrors) cost very little and eliminate left/right side blind zones, significantly reducing lane-change risks.
A compact, highly useful device that can jump-start your dead battery without needing another vehicle. Top-rated models like NOCO Boost Plus GB40 and TACKLIFE T8 include jumper clamps, LED flashlight, and USB ports to charge phones or laptops.
A high-power car vacuum cleaner is essential for maintaining interior hygiene. Brands like BLACK+DECKER, ThisWorx, and Baseus offer lightweight 12V or USB-chargeable models with strong suction (4000–6000 Pa) for removing dirt, pet hair, crumbs and dust.
