Head-up display (HUD)

❓ What is it?

A small device that projects your speed and navigation directions onto the windscreen.

✅ What is it good for?

You see the key information without taking your eyes off the road. Handy for anyone who often drives with navigation or in low-speed zones.

💡 Buying tip

Check whether it works via OBD2 or GPS, and whether the display stays readable in bright sunlight.

2 / 14

CarPlay AI box

❓ What is it?

A small box that turns your car's wired CarPlay into an Android system.

✅ What is it good for?

It lets you run apps like YouTube or Netflix on the car screen – great for breaks and waiting times. Only watch videos when parked.

💡 Buying tip

It only works if your car has wired CarPlay – check the compatibility list in the listing.

3 / 14

Digital rear-view mirror

❓ What is it?

A rear-view mirror with a screen that shows a live image from front and rear cameras and records like a dash cam.

✅ What is it good for?

You get a clear view behind you even when passengers or luggage block the rear window, and your drives are recorded.

💡 Buying tip

Pick a model with good night vision and check the cable length for the rear camera.

4 / 14

Tyre pressure monitor (TPMS)

❓ What is it?

Sensors on the valves send tyre pressure and temperature to a small display in the car, often solar-powered.

✅ What is it good for?

A slow puncture is spotted early, before it becomes dangerous. Correct pressure also saves fuel and makes tyres last longer.

💡 Buying tip

External valve-cap sensors are the easiest to fit; internal sensors have to be installed when the tyres are changed.

5 / 14

Jump starter

❓ What is it?

A lithium power bank that can start a car with a flat battery.

✅ What is it good for?

No second car or jump leads needed – a lifesaver on cold winter mornings. It also charges your phone.

💡 Buying tip

Match the power to your engine: diesels and large petrol engines need more starting current.

6 / 14

OBD2 adapter (ELM327)

❓ What is it?

A small plug for the OBD2 port that reads engine fault codes and live data through a phone app.

✅ What is it good for?

When the engine light comes on, you know straight away whether it is harmless or needs a workshop. Great for anyone who wants to understand their car better.

💡 Buying tip

Check it works with your phone – iPhones usually need a Wi-Fi or BLE version.

7 / 14

Cordless tyre inflator

❓ What is it?

A rechargeable cordless pump: you set the target pressure and it stops automatically.

✅ What is it good for?

Top up car tyres, bikes or balls anywhere in minutes, no petrol station needed. No need to stand and watch the gauge.

💡 Buying tip

Look for an easy-to-read display and enough battery capacity for all four tyres.

8 / 14

Wireless CarPlay adapter

❓ What is it?

A small USB adapter that makes wired CarPlay wireless.

✅ What is it good for?

Your iPhone connects automatically when you get in – no more plugging in a cable. Perfect for short trips.

💡 Buying tip

Your car must already support wired CarPlay, otherwise the adapter will not work.

9 / 14

Portable CarPlay screen

❓ What is it?

A dashboard screen that adds CarPlay and Android Auto to older cars.

✅ What is it good for?

Navigation, music and messages like in a new car, without replacing the radio. Ideal for older vehicles.

💡 Buying tip

Check how the sound reaches your car: FM, AUX or Bluetooth – AUX usually sounds best.

10 / 14

Blind-spot detection

❓ What is it?

Aftermarket radar sensors in the rear bumper that warn you with lights in the mirrors when a vehicle is in your blind spot.

✅ What is it good for?

Lane changes become safer, especially with bikes, motorbikes and fast cars around. Useful for every driver.

💡 Buying tip

Fitting involves drilling and wiring – professional installation by a workshop is recommended.

11 / 14

4G dash cam with remote view

❓ What is it?

A dash cam with a SIM card, so you can watch the live view and parking alerts on your phone from anywhere.

✅ What is it good for?

You know straight away if something happens to your parked car. Ideal if you park on the street.

💡 Buying tip

You need a data SIM, and parking mode requires hardwiring to the car battery.

12 / 14

360° camera system

❓ What is it?

Four cameras around the car create a bird's-eye view while you park.

✅ What is it good for?

You can see posts, kerbs and children around the car, making tight car parks far less stressful. Great for large cars.

💡 Buying tip

Installation is complex and usually done by a workshop – check that it is compatible with your screen.

13 / 14

Type 2 EV charger

❓ What is it?

A portable charger or wallbox with a Type 2 plug for charging electric cars.

✅ What is it good for?

Charge at home, at a holiday flat or at friends' places without a public station. Ideal for every EV driver.

💡 Buying tip

In Switzerland, make sure your socket and installation are suitable and have them checked by an electrician.

14 / 14

Ceramic coating

❓ What is it?

A liquid ceramic/SiO2 protection that keeps paint glossy and water-repellent for months.

✅ What is it good for?

Water and dirt run off, so the car stays clean longer and is easier to wash. For anyone who wants to protect their paintwork.

💡 Buying tip

The car must be thoroughly washed and decontaminated first, otherwise the coating will not bond.
