There's no better way to give an old car a new lease on life than with a little tech gadget makeover

There's no better way to give an old car a new lease on life than with a little tech gadget makeover.

Most used cars from just 15 to 20 years back missed out on Bluetooth, music streaming goodness because of old radios, CDs, and cassette players.

Dash cams are arguably no longer a luxury feature in this day and age.

The biggest, most notable upgrade is to remove the old radio or AUX receiver from your DIN slot and get a dedicated infotainment car receiver.

You get a touchscreen hub for everything -- radio, Bluetooth audio, phone calls, digital assistant, GPS maps.

HUD sounds like something straight out of sci-fi , but the concept behind a HUD is fairly low tech and well within a budget reach.

The Govee LED light strips with a 12V plug in can be used to monitor music, but you can't have them on while driving.

An external parking aid like this STKR sensor is a useful, non-invasive alternative if you've got a tight, everyday parking space like a narrow garage.

If you want to get regular diagnostics on demand, try a Bluetooth-enabled OBD-II diagnostic scanner.
