Tech that makes driving safer and more convenient — phone mounts, dash cams, backup cameras, tire pressure monitoring, and connectivity upgrades. How we choose these picks.
A magnetic vent or dash mount keeps your phone secure and visible for navigation, without fumbling with clips one-handed.
A dual-channel dash cam records both directions continuously, which can be the deciding evidence after an accident or parking-lot hit-and-run.
A wireless rear camera streams to a small dash monitor or your phone, useful for older cars without a factory backup camera or trailer/trunk blind spots.
A cap-mounted or valve-stem TPMS kit alerts you to a slowly leaking tire well before it becomes a roadside flat — especially useful on cars without a factory sensor per wheel.
If your car already has wired CarPlay or Android Auto, this small dongle removes the cable — plug it in once and it connects wirelessly every time after.
A compact charger with two fast-charging ports means the driver and a passenger both stay charged on a long drive, without fighting over one 12V outlet.
Most kits mount with adhesive or magnetic mounts and run on battery packs or a tap into the rear license-plate wiring, so they're generally DIY-friendly. Kits that wire into the factory reverse-light circuit need a bit more basic wiring know-how.
Only if your car already has factory wired CarPlay or Android Auto support — the adapter just removes the cable, it doesn't add CarPlay to a car that never had it. Check your vehicle's infotainment specs before buying.
