You don\u2019t have to buy a new car to be able to connect your smartphone to your vehicle via Bluetooth. Now you will always have the ease of tuning in to your favourite tunes on your phone's playlist, or even syncing your phone book into your car!\r\n

2)\u00a0USB car charger<\/h2>\r\n

A dead smartphone is every traveller's worst nightmare whilst road tripping, especially when it doubles up as your navigation device.\u00a0If you don\u2019t have a USB port in your car, or if you need more than one port, it is always good to have a USB car charger handy -- just don't forget your USB\u00a0wire!\r\n

3)\u00a0Dashcam<\/h2>\r\n

4)\u00a0Smartphone mount<\/h2>\r\n

5)\u00a0Blind spot mirrors<\/h2>\r\n

The feature acts as a a light built into the sideview mirror that flashes when someone is in your blind spot. However, if you have an older vehicle, you can get the same sort of function by just adding blind spot mirrors. These will come in handy on the heavily congested roads in Singapore, and will make your driving experience a lot safer and smoother as well.\r\n

6)\u00a0Tire pressure monitoring system<\/h2>\r\n

7)\u00a0Drop stop<\/h2>\r\n
