Adding Features of Latest Models To Your Car [Tech Tip]

Who will not love to drive the latest model of cars? I will because, beyond the beauty of the interior and exterior, is the fact that such a car will be one tech power house that will make it difficult to spot the difference between one’s home, office and the car.

Today, technology innovations are springing up for the improvement on gadgets. Cars are not left out in these innovations. Many of these new innovations in car technologies are usually, either, built specifically for safety or at, least, have some sort of safety focus to them and some for convenience, entertainment and leisure.

Not everyone can, however, afford to purchase the latest Model of cars, but you can upgrade your current car with some latest gadgets of safety, convenience, leisure, etc. Below, therefore, are 5 tech innovations which will help you to upgrade your car, so it may be close to what obtains on a new model:

1. Install A Mobile Phone Holder

One habit that some drivers unconsciously develop is to look for their phone wherever they put it and answering or making calls with it while driving. You will agree with me that this is a precursor to car accidents on our roads as they will be distracted when looking at their phones and speaking into it while driving. The phone may even fall down in the car and the driver may be trying to pick it up while driving. A Mobile Phone Holder, installed somewhere around your dashboard will help prevent this sort of situation. It is suggested that you consider getting one with a strong suction cup for proper mounting on the window or dashboard of the car. This should have anti-slip foam edges so as to prevent your phone falling off. It is also advisable to use earphones when using your phone and driving at the same time for additional safety purposes.

2. Install An In-Car Bluetooth Device

You might also decide to install an In-Car-Bluetooth device as an upgrade in your car. This will assist you to transmit music and phone calls from your phone through your car’s speakers. The idea behind this is to free your hands to concentrate on driving without having to touch your phone while driving. You, therefore, have the opportunity to to focus your attention on driving without distraction. Recent In-Car-Bluetooth devices are available in Voice command support capabilities for more effectiveness.

3. A Portable Inverter

The trend for a growing number of young entrepreneurs and other upwardly mobile professionals is to run a mobile office which requires them to move around town with at least their laptop. With a portable inverter, however, you can take this a step further, to now include moving your printer, scanner and other light-weight office equipment around to, so that you can perform more office tasks on the move.

It is important to go for a portable inverter that comes with in-built cooling fan as most actually do, plus features like multiple protection for low voltage, over voltage, overload, short circuit and over-heating. Remember, you will likely be using it on the road and in this part of the world where it can get really hot, so, ensure that you follow the suggestions above.

4. In-Car Dashboard Camera

Some new model cars are now fitted with camera devices which helps drivers to capture moments of interest to them while driving. The ultra-wide angle lens and large aperture which most of them come with, enable drivers to record their trips in smashing details, even in low light. Some of thes cameras also have in-built GPS which carries out real-time tracking of speed, using the 4-quadrant display. A built in G-force sensor, can also automatically activate the Emergency Video Recording mode in case of an accident. These Emergency recordings are date and time-stamped and protected from loop recording overwrites which allows rescuers to know exactly what happened before the accident occurred and most of them do come with a MicroSD memory card slot.

5. Headrest Mounted Bar Tablet Holder

Most car designers, when considering safety and pleasure for car drivers, are usually skewed towards making those seating at the front of the car to the detriment of those seating at the front. Mounting a Tablet Holder from the Headrest bar of the front passengers, for the view of the back passengers will really be cool to make the ride in the car more pleasurable and entertaining for the back passengers. This, more or less, transforms your car to an in-car cinema and you can as well pair alongside the Tablet a good Bluetooth boom speaker.

Ability for the Tablet Holder to rotate 360 degrees with the tilt mounting bracket ensures that the car passengers can change their sitting positions and still be able to watch movies or play games while in the car. An old Tablet device can be used for this purpose.

Finally, I urge you to practice safe driving while driving on the roads. These cool tools should not be allowed to get into your way while driving, as you should ensure that the use of technology should be positively controlled and technology should not be allowed to control you.

It is believed that these tools and gadgets will help to make your driving experience more pleasurable, safe and possibly, improve your productivity.
