While most cars have this accessory as a factory setting, it always pays to have one that you can really count on when the situation calls for it. With USB output of 5V, with this jump starter in your trunk, you have the guarantee that you’ll be able to get your engine chugging at almost 30 times at a charge.

Mpow-holder

MPOW Grip magnetic universal car mount phone holder

We all own smartphones. And there’s nothing more enervating than not being able to heed a smartphone’s call while driving – although agreed that driving and texting is something that should be avoided at all costs. But if you still need to keep your phone within reach when making your daily commute, then you can keep a grip on things with this magnetic universal car mount affixed to your dashboard, and offload the worry of having to rummage for your phone while in mid-drive. Suitable for iPhone 7, 7 plus and Android smartphones, it’s a cinch to install with a one-hand motion and your smartphone latches on to it magnetically so you can be sure it won’t be knocked out of place on a sharp turn or sudden swerve. What is doubly convenient is that it also allows 360-degree rotation so that you needn’t worry about re-adjusting your seating position while your eyes are glued to the road, to instead skew the mount according to your seating position and not vice versa. A soft rubber suction cup ensures will keep your smartphone scratch free as well.

Nulaxy-display

It works reliably with Bluetooth-enabled devices which means your iPhone, iPad or virtually any smartphone will be answered to with the utmost efficiency. Connections are done through a 3.5mm audio jack, and it’s designed with an accommodating LCD display which spans 1.44 inches, with other perks like being able to gauge your car battery’s voltage levels, or receive caller id for incoming phone calls, as well as the names of the songs that are being broadcasted to your speakers. What’s better is that it has other talents like noise cancellation to ensure reliable audio output with no interference. While offering perfect audio quality is probably asking too much from an FM transmitter, the Nulaxy is undoubtedly one of the best of its class.  USB car charging is part of the package, and it comes with a 5V – 2.1A charging port. Other features include a built-in microphone to enable hands-free chats when you’re cruising forward, as well as support for MicroSD, with aux input and output as well.
