That new-car smell may already be fading from your vehicle. You may find your car gradually losing its “freshness” factor and the excitement of owning a new ride may have worn off a long time ago. How can you revive the newness and make your car feel personalised and modern again?

Check out some of our favourite accessories to update the look and functionality of your car—perfect for any lifestyle.

Six Stylish Accessories to Personalise Your Car

Tech-savvy car accessories not only enhance the look of your car but also add convenience and safety. From sleek dash cams to portable jump starters, upgrading your vehicle with the right gadgets can make a world of difference. Here are six tech-driven accessories that will help you personalize and optimize your car experience.

1. Dashboard and rear camera

This double front and rear display for your car is the modern gadget to have for all types of vehicles. This records everything in front of your car while you are driving or even publicly parked. Plus, rear-facing cameras help you when it comes to parking and reversing out of driveways.

With high-definition video recording, you’ll have clear footage in the event of an accident or unexpected incident. Many models are sleek and discreet, fitting seamlessly into your car’s interior without being an eyesore. Choose a dashcam that comes with night vision features so you can keep on recording at night while on the highway. 

Pro tip: Look for a dash cam with cloud storage and app connectivity, so you can easily access your recordings from your phone.

2. Sun shades

Beat global warming and the harsh Australian sun by installing custom fit car shades on your passenger windows. These are perfect for long drives so you won’t have to worry about harsh sunlight and glare entering through the windows. Your kids, friends, or whoever your passengers are will be super comfortable with shaded windows.

Sun shades do more than just block out light – they help protect your car’s interior from harmful UV rays, which can fade your upholstery and damage your dashboard.

Pro Tip: Consider retractable or custom-fit sun shades that match your vehicle’s dimensions perfectly for better coverage and aesthetics.

3.  Portable jump starter

A portable and powerful jump starter is the perfect tool to have especially if you’re planning to go on a road trip. It’s easy enough to store this in the trunk of your car and to have it charged and ready on the off chance your car suddenly breaks down. 

Compact and easy to store in your glove compartment or trunk, this device can jump-start your car in seconds. Many models also double as power banks, allowing you to charge your phone or other devices on the go.

Pro Tip: Opt for a model with built-in safety features, such as reverse polarity protection, to avoid damaging your car’s battery.

4. Portable touchscreen display

Get a touchscreen display on your dashboard to give you an easy gadget for interactive road navigation. You can also use this device as an interface for your Apple or Android Bluetooth devices, with multiple options for connecting your music, photos, videos, and even speaker-microphone connection so you can take calls and talk on the phone while driving.

There are wireless touchscreen devices that even allow voice control and smart-assistant capabilities, which will be absolutely delightful to car owners who have to manage their arthritis and cope with driving. 

5. Interior LED lights

This is definitely a next-level upgrade to the interior of your car. Depending on your colour preference and choice for dim or mood lighting, you can even choose LED light that will sync with the beat of your car’s built-in speakers.

Some interior LED have adhesive strips so you can opt to install these by yourself and skip the middleman. 

Pro Tip: Choose a set of LED lights that come with a remote control or app for easy customization of color and brightness.

6. Exterior LED lights

If you’re one of those people who prefer to customise the outer appearance of their vehicle, there’s no better way to do it than customised LED lighting. Widely different from indoor lighting, LED exterior lights for cars should be waterproof, weatherproof, and highly durable because these will encounter lots of wear and tear.

You may be driving through different terrain especially if your vehicle is a 4-wheel drive or a hybrid car. You can hook up these lights to your vehicle’s electric automated system so that you can easily turn it on or off especially at night when you’re on a long drive.
