With the automobile industry constantly advancing and providing drivers with more and more top-of-the-line features, there are plenty of options for those looking to add fun gadgets and helpful features to their vehicle.

1. GPS Navigation System. A GPS is a spectacular invention that allows drivers to be told by an interactive map exactly where to turn, when to turn, and what time they will arrive at their destination. What’s even better than lugging this contraption and charging cord around or making sure you’ve taken it out of your vehicle so it doesn’t get stolen is having a GPS built right into your vehicle that gives you all the same benefits as a portable GPS. The main difference is that it doesn’t require annoying mounts or chargers. It is all built in and that makes it super easy. More over, the dealer also often provides complementary map updates, whereas with the store bought GPS you may have to purchase the map upgrades.

2. Rear-seat DVD player. If you have a family that includes children, you know how awful some car trips can be. Kids get bored easily, they fight, and they quickly run out of things to do on a lengthy car trip. While a rear-seat DVD player may not solve all of these problems, it sure will keep the folks in the backseat entertained. Imagine the little ones being able to entertain themselves for hours on end. This would be great right?

3. Remote Keyless Entry. Having this system in a vehicle allows the driver to unlock the vehicle with the simple push of a button and avoids the problem of having to fumble around with their keys. Surprisingly, some vehicles are still not being manufactured with this convenient feature. The best part of pressing a button to unlock the vehicle is that in most cases, only the driver’s door is unlocked. This way, there is no danger of an intruder sneaking in on the other side of the vehicle and surprising the driver. The driver is in complete control of what doors are unlocked and when. This feature will allow you to avoid fumbling around for your keys.

4. Roadside Assistance/OnStar Program. Because unexpected things can happen to your car, having some type of roadside assistance or OnStar program can be incredibly helpful. Flat tires, car accidents, having your car stolen, or even getting locked out of your car can be quickly aided with either of these programs. In fact, OnStar can even let you back into your car if you’ve locked your keys inside!

5. Back-Up Camera. No one can possibly see every blind spot on their vehicle – otherwise, they wouldn’t be called blind spots. Through the use of a handy back-up camera on the vehicle, they are able to see these hard-to-see areas and ensure no small children or pets have gotten in their way as they back up their automobile. Imagine never having to back up into another car ever again? This feature is also important because it allows you to gauge the distance between you and other objects behind you at any time.
