Re: 2023 Edition | Your must-have car accessories today

Very useful thread indeed. Apart from the numerous accessories listed above, I find the below very helpful as well
1. Steering wheel leather wrap - comfortable to grip
2. Steering wheel knob - helps cut corners swiftly
3. Wide angle outside rear view mirror - works as blind spot monitor
4. Mud flaps - in case they are unavailable in base variants
5. Car seats - I found original seats synthetic covers less comfortable so car seat covers can be chosen based on individual preference

Re: 2023 Edition | Your must-have car accessories today

With all due respect, I think that there is a slight difference between accessories and upgrades, even though both terms are often used interchangeably.
Accessories are added to the existing vehicle to improve the car’s user experience and/or enhance its appearance, without actively taking part in the car's operations.
Upgrades typically refer to modifications that are done to boost the performance, functionality or aesthetics of the vehicle.

Simply speaking, accessories are added, and upgrades are done.

Having given this rare Gyan to all of you for absolutely free, let me provide the list of accessories I have.

• 70mai Mirror dashcam - front and rear
• Tyre inflator - wireless
• Tyre Pressure gauge (Analog)
• Car seat cover
• Car Body Cover
• Portable vacuum cleaner
• Contact Stickers for Car. People can contact you for your parked vehicle without getting your phone number.
• Child Seat
• WD40
• Escape Hammer
• Portable Fire extinguisher
• Surface Disinfectant Sanitizer Spray
• 3M Rodent Repellent Coating spray
• Car trunk organizer
• Blind Spot Convex Lens Mirror
• Memory Foam Breathable Car Seat Cushion
• Type C Micro SD Card Reader.
• Car Visor Tissue Holder
• Car Registration & Insurance Card Holder file
• Multi-Purpose Carrying Case (for very small items and coins)
• Car Steering Wheel Cover
• Car Charger Adapter & Type C cables for phone charging and Android Auto.
• Microfibre cloths & Car Duster
• Mud flaps & Floor Mats
• Car Trash Can

Not accessories but...
• First aid kit with specific medicines for us, Sanitizer and N95 masks.
• A pair of basic casual shoes, Knee sleeves, and a clean T-shirt for me (I am always the driver!)

Wishlist (less practical) :
• 70mai Jump Starter (https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07XLZ1CFT/...=IK40O8WVSCHB8)
• Electric Car Floor Jack Set (https://www.amazon.in/dp/B09DVWT52H)
• OBD2 - OBDeleven for VW

Could you please recommend a particular one to buy? Preferably online. Thanks
