\n<\/a>Don\u2019t fall behind on technology with your older car \u2013 the 5 upgrade tips below will give you that new car spec without the hefty price tag writes Suzanne Keane\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Touchscreen Double Din \u2013 It\u2019s probably time to throw out that nasty CD player! With some careful online research you can pick up the perfect stereo system to suit your needs whether that\u2019s with DVD\/Blu-ray, MP3, iPod connectivity etc. It\u2019s a good idea to buy from a local supplier, especially if you\u2019re unsure about fitting as they will usually install the stereo for you. If you\u2019re doing it yourself make sure to get the correct wiring kit and faceplate for your car.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Bluetooth \u2013 If you don\u2019t want to upgrade the whole stereo system you can install a standalone Bluetooth kit to keep you connected while on the road without getting penalty points. Once again, if you buy this from a local supplier more than likely they will install it for you too!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. In Car Entertainment \u2013 keep your kids and friends happy on long journeys with screens in the back seat \u2013 you can get these roof mounted or installed in head rests. Just make sure you don\u2019t have any screens installed where they could distract the driver or block your view!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Parking Sensors \u2013 avoid those bumps and scrapes or wow your friends with magic parking skills by installing aftermarket parking sensors \u2013 these are available as painted sensors you\u2019ll need to have installed into your bumper or a detection strip that hides behind the bumper \u2013 much cleaner and doesn\u2019t involve any drilling! If you\u2019re not comfortable doing the installation yourself get in contact with your local body shop!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Cruise Control \u2013 for long motorway journeys you can\u2019t beat cruise control but if you\u2019re not lucky enough to have it as standard in your car it\u2019s worth looking into whether or not it can be retrofitted. This will depend on the type of car and control box that\u2019s fitted but it\u2019s a worthwhile investment if you spend long periods of time on the road.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
