Best Gadgets for a New Car

These days, nifty electronic gadgets are just as important for your car as your home. Adding safety, entertainment, convenience and practicality, the latest gadgets can help make your driving experience far more enjoyable. Not only that, but its always fun to have something new to show off in the parking lot at work, or to wow your friends with when you have them over for dinner. Here are some of the best gadgets for your new car.

If you're focused on safety when traveling, the Drive Alert Master is one of the best gadgets for your new car. Especially convenient for long-distance drivers, this unique tool costs less than $15 and fits over your ear like a Bluetooth device. If you happen to start nodding off on the road, the Drive Alert Master senses your head slumping and emits a loud beeping noise to wake you up.

If you purchase gadgets for convenience sake, check out the Solar Auto Vent II. This is the perfect gadget for your new car-especially if you live below the Mason-Dixon Line-because it keeps your car cool regardless of whether or not you're in it. You won't have to worry about damaging the interior of your car because of the heat, or ruining your favorite electronic device when you run into a store. And with a price tag of just under $40, this gadget is well worth the investment.

Another safety device that comes recommended by Forbes is the Sync, which was created in a joint effort by Microsoft and Ford Motor Co. This amazing gadget runs a continual diagnostic check to make sure everything is running as it should in your car, and will call 911 if your airbags are deployed or if an accident takes place. Even better, this nifty device connects you to your MP3 player or iPod via voice command, making for easier and safer listening.

If you really have electronics on the mind, you might want to check out the Atlas CPC-1000 from Azentek. This powerful and unique in-dash computer system replaces your radio and provides you with a multitude of functions at your fingertips. From playing DVDs and CDs to typing up e-mails to talking on your cellular phone, this gadget will meet all of your en-route computing requirements.
