March 15, 2016 at 09:49Top 10 Useful Car Gadgets in 2016
I spend a lot of time in my car and, of course, I want this pastime to be pleasant and safe. Personally, a lot of different gadgets help me for this, so I want to talk about the 10 most interesting and useful devices that I use either myself or use my friends motorists.
Perhaps the most necessary car gadget is a video recorder, because with this device you can always record everything that happens on the road and, thanks to this, in an accident it is much easier to prove your innocence. But, the most important thing is that your registrar’s picture is of high quality, so my choice is the Xiaomi Yi DVR. This company has long proved that it is capable of producing high-quality cameras for little money, more precisely for $ 68.99 *. And for this money, we get a resolution of 1920 x 1080, the ability to shoot 60fps, get photos in a resolution of 2048 x 1536, a view of 165 degrees and a photosensitivity of 1.8, that is, everything is also visible in the dark.
It is important not only to record the events on the road on the video, but also to see these very events. And when it rains outside, it doesn’t work out very well. And to solve this problem, we need a hydrophobic liquid for Aquapel car windows. This is a plastic device with wings - when pressed, the capsule with the substance bursts - which must be applied immediately to dry glass. Judging by the reviews - this thing is not comparable with the liquids from the bottles. They make it in the USA, but for ebay it is cheaper to order from China, where 10 pieces will cost $ 36.99 . If ordered from the USA, then with delivery for 6 pieces you get about $ 40 . By the way, in Russia it can also be bought - at 500 rubles for 1 pc.
In my glove compartment there is always a headlamp and there are a lot of cases when it helped me a lot. Such a flashlight is not necessary for such car bells and whistles, so this $ 10 * headband seemed to me a great option. It can be charged in the car from USB, one charge lasts about 2 hours 30 minutes and it has a fun function to turn on or off with the swipe of a hand in front of the flashlight. Not that it was very useful, but it may come in handy if your hands are dirty or you do not want to touch to look for where the on / off button is.
Nowadays, people have so many pocket gadgets that it’s hard to overestimate the convenience of having a USB charge in a car for each of them, especially if this charge on a stock costs a little more than $ 1 . I have a built-in USB port in my car, but when I insert my phone there for charging, the radio tape recorder is trying hard to find and play something there. So a separate USB-charge, which I can insert into the cigarette lighter is very helpful.
For lovers of long journeys, a small VHF radio station - Qyt KYT8900 will be useful. It costs $ 82 , which is not very expensive for this type of device, but it is also not worth waiting for the quality of top models. That is, for rare trips, it is suitable (along with a good antenna), but if you are a professional long-distance driver, then take a closer look at something more expensive - for example, the TYT TH-9800 for $ 225.70
Once I needed to pump out a little oil through the dipstick and this task was not very trivial - I had to use all my inventiveness to complete this task with the help of a catheter and a syringe from a pharmacy. It would be much easier to do this with this pump at hand. And in general, you can easily change the oil without searching for the pit and without removing the crankcase, which is naturally much more convenient. Moreover, the issue price is about $ 29 *.
Statistics say that many accidents occur due to conversations while driving, so the traffic police recommends either abandoning conversations on the road, or in general, or using a special headset. Headsets have been manufactured for a long time and are very different, but I have not seen anything similar to the Ovevo Q8 before. We insert the device into the cigarette lighter and, when you need to talk, just take out the earphone, insert it into the ear and talk. And after the conversation, you can safely return him to his place so that he does not get lost and is not discharged. It also has a USB connector that can be used to charge devices. Gadget Price - $ 22.41 *
Probably every motorist at least once in his life forgot to turn off the lights, except for those people who immediately started driving cars that reported that the light was still on. And, the result of such forgetfulness is often a completely discharged battery, which must be given a “light”. If at this moment BlitzWolf K3 is nearby, you will not have to call friends with cars or stop strangers. And also he will solve the problem with a discharged phone or just highlight the way. In general, a little thing can help out in some unpleasant situations if you go broke once at $ 64.98 * for its purchase.
It is extremely unpleasant to see a small dent in your car when leaving the store or from home. But minor accidents in yards and parking lots occur constantly and sometimes I really do not want to wait for the traffic police, and then how much money should be given for repairs. But is it so scary if you were left a dent? The Pops-a-Dent tool proves that it's not scary at all. We glue the central part, install the device, pull the middle and there is no more dent. And the issue price is only $ 6.25 *. Although, it is worth noting, but this is not a magic wand and it will not be able to straighten out very small dents - only those that really stretch in this way.
Well, the last, but far from the most uninteresting, I will talk about speakerphone with solar panels. Obviously, not everyone likes to communicate with the device in the ear - it is much more convenient to speak simply through the speakerphone, so you can simply stick this gadget to the very top of the windshield (so as not to interfere) and just use the convenient device. That is, those who do not like headsets can also protect themselves from penalties for talking on the phone, and from accidents. And this gadget will cost $ 24 *.
