The continuing evolution of modern-day technology has sprung a number of car accessories in the market over the past couple of years and none could be more updated than the ones that made it to the marketplace last year which are all expected to make their splash in 2017.
Experts believe that the vehicle that one person drives is a reflection of his taste, style, and personality but that again depends on the level of resources the person has.
No matter how serious one wishes to have a well-accessorized car, if he does not have the resources to spruce it up or buy the latest car models, then his owning a vehicle is merely for convenience and for the necessity of transport.
If a car feels outdated and has started to become mundane, well-placed add-ons or accessories which can be installed in an instant can spruce it up.
More than the way it adds glitter or glamor to one’s car, the best car accessories for 2017 are based on their function and usability to the driver and passengers of the vehicle.
Prioritizing the need for car accessories
It is important for a person to prioritize the need for car accessories in accordance with its basic needs. None can be more basic than survival so the first accessory that needs to be considered is those that are used in case of emergencies.
The seatbelt is there to protect the driver and the passengers but it would be a different story if the car gets into a watery situation where it starts sinking in the water.
Experts recommend that drivers who encounter water emergencies get out of their cars as soon as possible, even if that means breaking the window and cutting the seatbelt loose.
A combination seatbelt cutter and window breaker tool do just that. The little tool could literally be a lifesaver, and it deserves to be in every vehicle.
The odor in the car is also important as it makes the cabin comfortable and convenient for both the driver and the passengers.
It is time to let go of that funky pine tree dangling from one’s rear view mirror and instead of masking the foul smell, choose an air freshener that eliminates odors altogether.
In combination with a rigorous car cleaning schedule, the accessory can help remove any evidence of four-legged passengers and cigarette smoke, and perhaps even help one reclaim that elusive new car smell, details Reader’s Digest.
A clean dashboard reflects one personality
Another important place for car accessories is the dashboard. An organized dashboard is actually a reflection of the car owner’s personality.
A new accessory makes it easy to fix that common problem in a matter of minutes. DashGrip gel pads are designed to hold one’s smartphone, pen, papers, and other essential items securely in place.
The super convenient pads are simple to apply and easy to clean, and they won’t leave a sticky residue on the dashboard when one eventually takes them off.
It is also a known fact that when one desperately needs his smartphone, it’s going to run out of battery. Although it’s an annoyance most of the time, it could mean serious trouble if the person is stranded on the side of the road.
For less than $100, one can actually buy a charger that’s so compact, it fits neatly in his pocket. With the tiny device, one can jump start a dead smartphone battery in mere moments.
If the car stereo of one’s car still features a CD player, or worse, a tape deck, it’s well past time for a digital upgrade.
The latest digital-ready car audio systems include places to plug in a smartphone, along with iPhone connectors, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB ports.
From his favorite podcasts to the music on his phone, he can take the best digital entertainment with him wherever he goes on the road.
