Never worry about a flat battery again

I’ll let you in on a secret. I’ve run my car down more than once. I love hiking and oftentimes that means driving long distances, parking up, and leaving my car for hours or overnight. If you’re an ass (like me), you might forget to turn off your lights when getting out your car.

If this story is familiar, you recognize that sinking feeling you get when you start the car only to realize your battery is dead. With the Beatit Jump Portbale Starter you’ll have the solution that makes sure you never have that feeling again.

You can jump start a gas car of up to 6 liters, or diesel car of up to 5 liters, 20 times for a very affordable $69.99. The Beatit Jump Portbale Starter has 800 amps of current and comes with durable cables and clamps. Its two USB ports mean you can even use it as a charger for your cell.

Your visual insurance policy

I’ve been lucky enough to have only one car accident in my life. Back when I was a new driver I was in a Walmart car park in a hurry. I put my foot on the gas and heard the sound no-one wants to hear – metal on metal. That accident was my fault and I spoke to the owner of the other vehicle and passed on the details.

But what if it happened the other way round and the driver didn’t leave their details? You’d have a repairs bill and two ways of paying for it –  tell your insurance company and increase your premiums, or use your own money. Either way, you’re paying. Unless, of course, you’re protected by a rear view camera.

There are a range of great of cameras from TadiBrothers, with prices starting at just $79.99.   They give you a visual insurance policy by recording what happens to your vehicle, saving you money and hassle. TadiBrothers stock models suitable for trucks, cars, school buses and more. So whatever you drive you can rest assured that no one can hit your vehicle and leave you with the repair bill.

Keep your eyes on the road

I don’t know about you but the first thing my driving instructor told me was to always keep my eyes on the road. Even if that’s not what your teacher said, you know you have to drive with your eyes open. That can be a problem if you’re driving somewhere new and using your cell’s GPS to guide you. The Hudway Cast Heads-Up Display makes this problem a thing of the past.

It sits on your dash and wirelessly streams the screen of your cell onto your windscreen. The Hudway Cast Heads-Up Display pairs with both Airplay and Miracast via an app you can download for either Apple or Android cells. It works with a range of navigation apps, including Google Maps, Sygic, Baidu and more.

You can use the Hudway Cast Heads-Up Display in any vehicle. All you need to do is plug it into your OBD–II port, or cigarette lighter socket. With this tech in your car, you can focus on driving, enjoying the journey, and keeping your eyes on the road – because they will be, at all times. And what’s the price of enjoying your journey and driving safely? $299.99, which is a lot less than your life is worth.

Getting more out of your car can mean a lot of things. It can mean quicker acceleration, a slicker drive, and more exciting journey. But do you know what, getting the most from your car should really about the boring things – safety, reliability, and keeping costs low. While these three pieces of tech won’t make your car sexier, they will give you greater peace of mind. And in 2019 that’s the first thing you should ask from your car tech.
