Make every trip convenient when you get these car gadgets.
By: Yoorekka Team | June 19, 2020
Owning a car is the most convenient way to get to places easily and comfortably, so it is no surprise that most Filipinos own a vehicle despite the lack of enough parking spaces. In fact, according to the annual report of the Land Transportation Office, the agency that handles vehicle registration in the Philippines, as of last year there are about 11 million registered vehicles in the country—marking an 11-percent increase from the total registered vehicles in 2017. One good thing about this influx of cars is the plethora of car accessories that can make your travels more convenient, safer, and even more fun! Read on to see which of these car accessories would best fit your car.

Having a dash camera in your car is essential for safety reasons. There have been numerous scams in the Philippines involving pedestrians who claim to be side-swiped to extort car owners. With a dash camera to capture your trip, events like this can be avoided. Opt for one that can take high-quality videos, like the Pioneer DVR110 Dashcam. With its 2 million pixels, it can capture your trip in high-definition and can record even in low light conditions.

The Carzkool 4-in-1 Car Vacuum Cleaner not only cleans your car from wet and dry dirt but it also functions as a tire pressure measurement tool and as an air pump!

Before all these amazing car gadgets, travelers used to dread a dead battery while still on the road. Fortunately, handy car chargers are now available in the market. Before embarking on a long road trip, make sure your car is equipped with a portable charger, like UGREEN’s Quick Charge 3.0 Car Charger. It has dual ports—one with a 3.0 port for fast charging and one with a 2.4A USB port for normal charging—so you can charge two devices at once. It also comes with a charging cable and is compatible with various vehicle types.
4. Tire Pressure Monitor

When driving, safety should always come first. Make sure your tire pressure is just right; a high tire pressure would make your car bounce, while a low tire pressure could wear down your tires and even cause them to overheat. The award-winning Nonda ZUS Smart Tire Safety Monitor detects slow leaks and can help you track your car’s tire pressure in real time using your mobile phone. It also has a unique anti-theft locking system and a built-in USB port for charging other devices.

A back seat organizer is a car accessory every fastidious person would love to have in his/her car. Aside from helping organize your things inside your vehicle, the organizer can also protect your gadgets from scratches. Look for one with many separate pockets to accommodate all your travel needs, like a Leather Seat Back Multi-Pocket Storage Bag. It fits cars, trucks, and SUVs and can store drinks, tissue, gadgets, and more.
6. Bluetooth Audio Receiver

One way to have an entertaining ride is to sing along to your favorite playlist. Is your AUX cable too short to reach your phone? Equip your car with a Bluetooth audio receiver instead! With one, your phone can remain close to you even as it plays your favorite tunes. The Aolvo Car Bluetooth Audio Receiver has an AUX input, so you only have to plug it into your car. It can work for up to 18 hours and can connect two phones simultaneously. It can also be used to answer, hang up, or reject calls you receive in your connected phone.
June 2020 Update: This item is currently out of stock, but Aolvo also has another Car Bluetooth Audio Receiver model for PhP293 and a Bluetooth Car Stereo for PhP693. Both are available in Lazada.
