Your Car: Essential Tech Upgrades to Make Now

January 6, 2022 by Mark Allinson

Present-day vehicles are more than just a mode of transportation. They’re also your office, entertainment center, and mobile device charging station.

It’s essential to have all the necessary tech upgrades to stay connected with friends and family while on the road. These critical upgrades will help you do just that.

Rearview Camera

A rearview camera is an excellent addition to any car, as it can help you see what is behind you while you are driving. This is a must-have for anyone who wants to stay safe on the road.

When getting rearview cameras to consider the following:

  • Ensure the camera is compatible with your car. Some cameras only work on specific makes and models of vehicles, so make sure you check before purchasing.
  • Think about the positioning of the camera. Some cameras are positioned to look out for objects on either side, while others focus solely on what is behind your car.
  • Check how easy it will be to install. If you know someone who can help with this or feel confident enough yourself, there should not be an issue here, but if not, make sure you buy a model that comes with clear installation instructions and does not need much technical knowledge before installation.

Invest in High Tech Gadgets

High tech gadgets are becoming increasingly popular and affordable, meaning that they can easily be added to your car with minimal fuss.

High tech gadgets for the interior of a vehicle include:

  • Sunroof deflectors from Weathertech that keep the sun and wind out while you drive
  • Cargo liner is an accessory that helps you protect the cargo space in your vehicle
  • Sensor Logic LED lights, also known as “illumibowl”, light up when someone approaches the door to help guide them at night. These are available on Amazon for $20, and they connect directly into an existing car interior map light wiring harness
  • Retractable cup holders – Ideal if you need extra storage while driving but don’t want drink containers sliding around on long journeys. Retractable cup holders can be purchased for between $15-$30 online or from any automotive store
  • A smartphone holder enables you to store your phone safely and securely in the car without sliding around. They can be purchased for $20-$30 online or at any automotive store

High tech gadgets for the exterior of a vehicle include:

HID headlights give much greater visibility making driving safer. These can be purchased easily online or from an auto parts store. They only cost around $100 per pair, so they are relatively inexpensive compared to other upgrades available on the market today.

Sound System

A sound system is a significant upgrade to make to your car. Not only does it make the journey more enjoyable, but it can also improve safety. Make sure you invest in a good quality system that will give you clear sound no matter how fast you’re traveling.

Speakers are another one of the essential car upgrades to make. Speakers will ensure you can hear your music clearly, and they’ll give a boost to any sound system you have installed in your vehicle.

Pleasant Drive

The tech upgrades above will make your car a more pleasurable experience to drive. They will also make it safer and easier to park and provide other benefits. So, if you are in the market for a new or used car, be sure to factor in some of these essential upgrades.
