Nowadays, there are more and more advanced configurations in cars, but not all cars can take all the useful configurations. Today to share with you a few I think very practical car supplies, the price is not expensive, not even too much technical content, but it can really greatly enhance your sense of happiness in using the car. But the premise is that you have a certain hands-on ability.
1. Umbrella-shaped nozzle
Most automotive glass water nozzles are umbrella-shaped nozzles, that is, the glass water sprayed is umbrella-shaped, which can evenly cover as many windshields as possible and the rinsing effect is better.
But some car spouts are like water guns, spewing out a column of water. Less coverage, and the glass water is concentrated together, the wiper has not had time to brush the glass water flowed away, very wasteful, the cleaning effect is not good, and uneven spraying leads to a longer dry grinding time when the wiper just started.
And now there is a kind of umbrella nozzle for sale, after buying it back, the original car nozzle is replaced, and then your windshield nozzle can also spray out umbrella-like glass water, generally one or two pieces per price, after changing this thing, you will find that you have never been so looking forward to rain.
2. Voltmeter, water temperature meter
Nowadays, the intelligence of cars is getting higher and higher, the operation and maintenance are becoming more and more fool-like, and many parameters related to the operation of the car do not need to be informed to the driver in an intuitive way. For example, the previous old cars have ammeters, voltmeters, water temperature meters, these meters are also mechanical, the values are real-time display, accurately reflect the current state.
Today's cars are different, not many cars are equipped with voltmeters and ammeters. Although there is a water temperature meter, but many car water temperature meter is also a strip graphic display, like a toy, the driver through it at most to know whether the water temperature is normal, the specific number of degrees no one is clear.
If you are a car owner who likes to explore, then you can buy a digital voltmeter, ammeter, water temperature meter installed on the car, after the whole car is energized you can view the vehicle voltage, generator output current and engine water temperature in real time. These gadgets are particularly cheap, generally three or five pieces, back to do it yourself can be installed, the key is twisted, all kinds of parameters are clear at a glance, and you can also observe the change of parameters in different situations, which helps you to understand the car more deeply and monitor the status of the vehicle. Of course, these things are only suitable for car owners who like to grope, and for them these things are simply a panacea to enhance the happiness of the car.
3. Vehicle power interface
In 2019, I once published an article on why the CAR's USB interface is very slow to charge the mobile phone, the reason is that the USB interface standard stipulates that its maximum current is only 0.5 amps, and the current mobile phone charging current is generally 1 amp-2 amp, and the fast charging is larger, so the USB interface cannot meet the needs of mobile phone charging.
The simplest solution is to buy a car charge, about twenty yuan can buy a very good quality, and for most car owners is already the most perfect solution. But there is room for further tossing and turning for car owners who love to toss.
Because the car charging occupies a cigarette lighter socket, and it will occupy a certain amount of space, it is not convenient for the rear passengers to charge. The most perfect solution is of course the 5V dedicated power supply interface that many cars are equipped with, which is very convenient to use. But some of our old cars don't have this configuration at all, what to do? In fact, the method is very simple, now the Internet has to sell the car power interface, the shape and USB interface, with a step-down module, in the center console or the location of the need to use electricity holes, the interface into the fixed, the wire is connected to the cigarette lighter terminal post, so that it is perfect DIY a car 5V power supply interface. And this interface we can install in any convenient place.
4. Reversing radar
Ten years ago, reversing radar was still a relatively mainstream configuration, and now even reversing images are about to be replaced by panoramic systems, and reversing radar is almost no longer used. So why should I mention reversing radar today? Because we didn't intend to put it in the back of the car, but to put it in the front of the car.
Because the front part of the blind zone is very large, some of the earlier more high-end models will be equipped with front radar, which can help drivers find obstacles in the blind spot. Although many cars now have a panoramic image system, but there are many cars that do not, the price is not cheap to install separately, at this time you can choose to install a front radar, although not as intuitive as the panoramic image system, but also can increase the safety guarantee.
Now a set of eight probe reversing radar is priced at about 50 pieces, buy back in the corresponding position of the bumper to install a good probe, find a suitable place in the center console or engine compartment to fix the host, fix the display screen, and then connect the circuit, you can more easily judge the front of the car condition.
5. Led led beads on the dashboard
The car dashboard has a backlight, and most cars are white backlights, which look soft and high-end. The dashboard backlight of some economy cars is often red, and it always looks very unsophisticated. In fact, this backlight can also be changed by itself.
You only need to buy a few white or other colors of your favorite color car dashboard special LED lamp beads, and replace the red light beads on the original car dashboard. However, it is easy to buy lamp beads, and the difficulty is to replace the lamp beads, which is really a test of hands-on ability.
The price of the above car supplies is not expensive, if you have a strong hands-on ability, you can achieve the corresponding functions with the least cost. Especially for those old models, because the factory time is early, many advanced configurations have not caught up, we can use these products to enhance our car experience.
