Car kits allow you to upgrade your car with new features that make driving a little bit more fun. They come in different sizes to fit in your vehicle and offer a lot of functionalities to enhance your driving experience.
One of the first kit cars to become popular was the Meyers Manx dune buggy in 1964. Current kit cars often include replicas of famous classic cars and are designed so that anyone with some technical skills can build them at home.
Bluetooth Speakerphone
Using your phone hands-free while driving is not only legal, but also very convenient and safe. Using the latest Bluetooth technology, car kits make it possible to talk to your callers without having to touch your phone or take your eyes off the road.
These hands-free systems are very affordable and simple to fit. They use a special Bluetooth dongle to transmit audio from your phone (or tablet) through your car speakers or stereo system.
The CK11 is one of the best-selling and most popular Bluetooth speakerphones for your car. It comes in a nice-looking box along with the device itself, a car charger, USB to micro USB charging cable and user manual.
The device itself is very compact and minimalistic. All control buttons are on the front side – tuning button, two track buttons and multifunction button (play/pause/answer/end/reject calls). It is supposed to be attached to the sun visor with a strong clip. It has a LED display that shows status of the battery, audio playback and incoming calls.
Headphones
A headset is a piece of hardware that can be attached to the head for private listening to audio. They can be used to listen to music, talk on the phone and even for sports activities. Headphones can be used to improve the experience while driving a car and they can also help to prevent distraction that can lead to road accidents.
A traditional pair of headphones consists of two speakers contained in padded ovular enclosures that are joined to an arching headband that supports them. They trail a left and right channel signal wire that joins at the top to a connector that plugs into a headphone jack on a device like an MP3 player, smartphone or computer.
The quality of the sound varies between different models and can be influenced by various specifications such as frequency response, impedance and more. Some headsets are even equipped with active noise cancellation that can further enhance the quality of the music listening experience.
AUX Cables
Aux cables are a great way to transfer audio signals between your phone and a car stereo system. They feature a 3.5mm jack on both ends and are used to connect most mobile devices that play music to your car radio’s aux input.
A high-quality auxiliary cable should not cost too much, and you can usually find one within the $5 to $10 price range. However, it’s important to do your research to ensure that you’re purchasing a cable that will work well with your device. The best aux cables will have gold-plated connectors, which improve sound transmission and reduce electronic interference.
If you’re looking for a versatile aux cable that works with most mobile devices, check out the Syncwire Nylon Braided Aux Cord. Its flat design prevents tangles and makes it easy to handle and store. Plus, it’s compatible with all audio-playing devices that have a 3.5mm aux port. It’s also equipped with a 15000+ bending lifespan for added durability.
Car Charger
A car charger plugs into the cigarette lighter or power outlet of a vehicle and connects to devices such as cell phones for battery charging on the move. Some types can also have extra functionality – a popular option works as both a USB charger and an FM transmitter, allowing the user to play music on their MP3 player or smartphone while broadcasting it via one of the many available FM channels on their car radio.
Check the power output capability – 2.1 and 2.4 amps is common but higher is possible. Also look for multiple sockets – some are designed to provide two USB ports and others can offer more. Also check that the leads will not obstruct any controls in the driver’s area of the vehicle.
Keep your PTT phone connected for hands-free driving and communication with this kit featuring a junction box, 10-watt external speaker, noise-canceling visor microphone and charging cradle. Easily attaches to the air vent with magnetic mount and includes microfiber storage bag that doubles as a screen wipe.
