Have you recently bought your first car? It is a great and fulfilling feeling to buy your own car. It is a dream come true for most people in India. While you might be overwhelmed with the feeling there are a few requirements that you need to buy to ensure a safe and happy travel in your new car.
The following is the list of 5 car accessories that you need to buy to make your car journey a smooth and event-free one. These accessories will make it easy for you to evade most common risks associated with cars.
Smart Air Inflator for Worry-free Travel
Main challenge that you will face during your long travels is that your tire pressure will reduce or increase depending on the temperature and the road condition. Getting a flat tire is another challenge that you wouldn’t want to face in the middle of nowhere. Extreme tire pressures either high or low can reduce the mileage of your car. Similarly it could also lead to unfortunate accidents. So, always keep a smart air inflator in your car. This will come in handy during those unexpected scenarios.
Fit Window Sun Shades
India is a tropical country that receives harsh over the head sunlight for most part of the year. Temperatures can easily reach as high as 40ºC and occasionally touch even 50ºC in some areas of the country. Applying dark sun screen films is against the law in many states of the country. However, without any protective layer, the interiors of your car can reach dangerously high temperatures that can easily dehydrate you. Further the air conditioner will also face a heavy load. So, it is important that you fit window sun shades. These are affordable and cost only around ₹200-300. Even the best quality ones are priced under ₹1000/-. For a measly price, the advantage that you receive is extremely high. It can reduce the interior temperature of your car by at least a few degrees.
Car Reverse Camera with Display
Car reverse cameras are present in most top end models of cars these days. However, if you have bought an entry level model or mid-level model, then your car might not have the car reverse camera. Most avoidable accidents happen while reversing your car. With the presence of a car reverse camera and a display you can clearly watch the rear side of your car. This gives you the ability to reverse with ease. Complete set of car reverse camera with display are priced between ₹4,000 and ₹15,000/-
Anti-fog Protective Film for Windows
Another important issue faced in cars during long drives is fogging. Fogging reduces the visibility and makes it hard to navigate the roads during early mornings and even during rains. Many people switch on the heater to reduce the effects of fogging, however, it is not the ideal way to deal with it. Instead you can buy these anti-fog protective films for your car from around ₹500. Top end protective films can cost around ₹5000/-
GPS Trackers for Enhanced Safety
Safety of your cars is paramount. Whether you own a new car or a used car, you need to ensure the safety of your cars. Cars can be stolen or hijacked. Even if you have the best alarms and warnings, there is a risk of your car being stolen. When you install a GPS tracker to your car, you can continuously track and monitor your car in real time. Whether you are in your home or office, the GPS tracker will send the present location of your car. This way you can easily find stolen cars and alert the law enforcement agencies for quicker retrieval.
Similarly, installing GPS trackers for cars allows you to stop your car from unauthorised usage. When you loan your car to your relatives and friends, you can still ensure that the car is being used within the limits. You can set up a geofencing alert which will give you a warning if the car is being taken outside of the zone.
You can also use a GPS tracking software to continuously monitor and record the real time location of your cars. If you have multiple cars, you can use the same software to track all your vehicles. The best part of using this software is that you can even track your bikes in this app. As long as you install a GPS tracker for the bike, you can also locate the same in real time.
