Title: Gadgets For Your Car
Post by: THiNK on 09 April 2008, 08:57
As a gadget freak I'm going to start listing the worst gadgets you can get for your car.

Feel free to add to the list.

Once this has dried out, i'll do a list of good ones  :smiley:

OK my first one has to be this:

At $2.45 delivered its a bargain not to be missed.

Sat Nav!? Pah who needs to spend hundreds on an electrical device when you can have this 'Cute Bear Window Mount compass!' Supplied with a suction cup its universal fit means you can take it between all your cars. Always heading south is a breeze with 'Cute Bear'.

The major advantage is the green hair, its pretty visible from outside the car so make sure you put in in the middle of the dash ensuring everyone can see it! Unlike Sat Nav - there is no need to remove this when you leave the car in a multi story for fear of theft, at this price no one would want to steal it they'd just order their own!

Buy yours today : http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8351

not 100% sure i've read a few site in the past saying they have got them working but that was some time ago, someone will have to investigate, another think i've seen is people fitting the A3 auto dimming side mirrors, apparently the sharan had this too, which is probably an easier fit

the mirror gets wired in, similar to the V6 / W8 mirror, the auto dimming is basically an LCD behind the mirror glass which darkens when its bright

i found this guide no pics though  :cry:

you wire it into a power source.  then when the light shines the glass turns opaque or something like that and stops the light shining in your eyes  :nerd:

EDIT - beaten to it  :rolleyes:
