We purchased over 15 car accessories for our Honda Elevate CVT

The list includes a dashcam, external TPMS, car duster, phone charger, ventilated seat cover and much more.

Hi, I wanted to share the accessories that we got for our Honda Elevate ZX CVT over the last couple of months. The list turned out to be quite long.

1. Ventilated seat accessory: This is from Riggear. Ventilated seat was high on the list of our requirements but we still decided to go ahead with the Elevate. Thanks to BHPian @krishnakumar for his comprehensive and long-term review of the Riggear ventilated seat accessory. Bought it from the official site, where it's cheaper than Amazon. I am satisfied with its effectiveness. There is a mild noise when it's in operation, but only the driver can hear it. Moreover, it does not compromise the seat comfort. I have attached this to the rear lighter port and the power adapter juts out a bit too much for my liking.
2. Rear window sun shade: This is a must-buy. It's sad that Elevate does not get this from the factory. It attaches magnetically to the window frame. But the door needs to be opened in order to attach or detach it. Cannot use it on the driver-side window because it obstructs the view of the ORVM. It blocks a tiny part of the left ORVM when fixed on the co-driver side window; but this will depend on your seating position. For me, I have kept it attached only to the rear windows. Amazon link.
3. Screen guard for the infotainment display: Fits well and does not create glares.
4. Charger for phone: It goes into the lighter port. It has one USB-C and one USB-A. The type-C port supports 33W PD charging, so it can fast charge devices which support PD. It's quite small in size and stays out of the way. Amazon link.
5. Dual channel dash cam: Did some market research and found this to be the best option when considering price and video quality. Interestingly, 70mai pushes out firmware upgrades for this dashcam, which can be flashed using the app. However, the dashcam gets reset after a firmware upgrade, which is super annoying. Amazon link.
6. Micro SD card for the dash cam: It's important to use an SD card that is meant for frequent writes. This is ideal for usage in surveillance cameras and dashcams. SanDisk uses the term "High Endurance" for this. Other brands will have other monikers. Amazon link.
7. Car fragrance from Bath and Body Works: The perfume cartridge holder is affixed to the sun visor and stays out of the way. The ones that hang from the internal rear-view mirror (such as this one) obstruct visibility. There are many fragrances to choose from but here is an example. You will need a holder for it, such as this one (many designs available).
8. 90-degree short USB-A to USB-C cable: For wired Android Auto (because wireless Android Auto is buggy in Elevate). I got this thinking that a long cable would create a mess. Unfortunately, this was a bad purchase. The cable got yanked multiple times when I reached out to pick up the phone without realizing that the short cable was attached. And the 90-degree bend is towards the other side (away from the center). Amazon link.
9. External TPMS: yet another important thing that the Elevate misses out on. Got an external TPMS because fixing it was DIY. Bought the one with the highest ratings on Amazon. Works well so far. I am not using the anti-theft locks. The solar charging does not work well for me because I have got sun film installed on the windshield. Thankfully, it can be charged with a micro USB cable. I did not want one that is app-based, since it might drain the phone battery and obtain unnecessary permissions such as location data.
10. Tyre inflator: There are too many options out there. Did some market research and went with this.
11. Neck pillow: Wife needed one; usefulness is subjective. Amazon link.
12. Napkin holder: Affixed to the sun visor. Blends well with the interior (roof) color. Amazon link.
13. Jopasu car duster: Super highly rated and does what it promises. This is my go-to option when dry dusting the car. Amazon link.
14. Mini trash can for car: Fits perfectly in the cup holder and does not block access to the phone tray. Amazon link.
15. Heavy duty micro fiber cloth: It does work quite effectively in drying the exterior surface. Amazon link.
16. Key cover: Feels and looks premium. The silicon adds a nice grippy texture to the key. Amazon link.
17. Carabiner key chain: For placing the key on the belt loop. Solid built and feels built to last. Comes in pairs. Amazon link.
18. Ganesh Idol for dashboard: There are 29 options to choose from. Elevate has a floating infotainment display, so any religious idol would be partially blocked from view. Amazon link.
