When you’re in the market for a new car, there are many things to consider, like the colour and make of the car, the cost of insurance, and your fuel budget.

But there are some things that you may overlook, such as basic car accessories. You might note the standard items like tyre tread and air conditioning, but your car needs a lot more to function effectively.

Some of the options you should consider are car chargers. They come in a wide variety ranging from universal USB chargers to those specifically designed for your iPod or camera.

Some chargers come with multiple jacks, which save you the hassle of having several different chargers. Dashboard cameras are another popular accessory. They will make you feel like a rally driver when you view their feeds later.

GPS systems are essential, as are cigarette lighters for smokers. Lighting is important, so you can get string lights to use beneath your car. And for those who love music, an MP3, MP4 or M5 player is a must have. You could get a car stereo system instead, or a car radio. Don’t forget your branded key chain so you won’t lose your car keys.

For safety matters, you need an airbag. Many cars come with an airbag built in, but you need a quick and reliable way to refill them after use. There are many gadgets that can help you with this. The SRS Airbag Reseter for Honda works quite fast. You plug it into your car socket, turn it on and then turn it off after you hear three beeps.

There is an automatic airbag reseter that looks a lot like a traffic light. Its colour coded with red, yellow and green indicator lights, and has two different reset options.

It’s compatible with VW, Audi, and Opel. BMW has a reseter that doubles as a scanner. It can identify the exact error on the airbag before it does any reseting. It can also reset the SRS light. It comes with a user manual and a convenient carry case.

A device that is even more advanced is the Anti-Theft Code Reader and Airbag Reseting. This resetter can clear the trouble codes on an airbag so that it can be used again. It automatically reads the anti-theft codes on VW cars and the airbag can be reset using both the K1 and the OBD2 lines.
