This little stud’s days are numbered
Updated: AutoMate information updated with more details.
In-car technology has been steadily improving, with the likes of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto paving the way for those who appreciate a dashboard total of gadgets and goodies. Not all of us are fortunate enough to have cars with these options, however.
So, what’s a driver of a “dumb” car to do? We’ve compiled a list of ten apps that will bring even the most battered and dated of cars up to 21st century standards.
TomTom
Once, a bulky Sat Nav (or GPS) unit was your only option if you desired a gadget to guide you to your destination. Now, the likes of TomTom and Garmin suggest apps, saving you from carrying yet another object around with you.
Available for various regions on both iOS and Android, TomTomis free for the very first fifty miles of use each month, but requires a subscription for unlimited use. Subscriptions are $21.99 /£14.99 (converted to AU$29.08) a year or $49.99 / £34.99 (AU$66.Ten) for three years.
Providing it the edge over free solutions such as Google Maps, TomTom offers speed camera warnings, providing you a goes up when it comes to upcoming speed traps. Its interface is also comparatively clutter-free, making it much lighter to glance at while driving.
For a slightly less intuitive, but entirely free, Sat Nav solution, Waze can’t be strike. Suggesting community-driven features, it encourages crowd sourcing as a means to keep you informed of accidents, police traps, and traffic jams in your local area.
On top of that, it provides turn-by-turn voice navigation, automatic rerouting and the capability to send your ETA to your friends, so they know you’re on the way. The option to add and view information on local glances and businesses is convenient for those fresh to an area also.
Don’t expect Waze to be as effortless to use as something like TomTom. But, with a little brain retraining, it’s a convenient, affordable alternative.
Carcorder
Dashcams are increasingly popular accessories for cars. Being able to record your journeys means you have concrete evidence in case of an accident, but it also means you can capture some fantastic footage as so many Russian dashcams have over the years.
Carcorder and a dashboard climb on turns your iPhone into a capable dashcam, permitting you to switch inbetween numerous resolutions, track your location, and know when you’re driving too rapid. It’s not as comprehensive as a dedicated unit, but for only $1.99 (£1.49, AU$Two.49), it’s an excellent embarking place.
iOnRoad
An enlargening number of cars suggest forward collision warning systems, detecting when a car in front has slammed the brakes on, before you’ve had a chance to see it yourself.
For $0.99 (about £0.92, AU$1.42), iOnRoad isn’t a flawless substitute for this, partly because you need to (ironically) keep an eye on your phone’s screen, but it can be helpful. Using your phone’s camera and GPS, it detects how long it would take for you to collide with the vehicle in front of you. A color coding chart gives you an indication if you’re getting too close, ensuring you don’t tailgate by accident. Speed sign detection is also included.
iCarMode
Permitting you to use your dashboard mounted iPhone securely, for $1.99 (about £1.31, AU$Two.84) iCarMode offers up a big buttoned display, making it ordinary for you to activate a music player, call your friends, and check for places nearby.
Custom-built app shortcuts support apps such as Spotify, Audible, and TuneIn Radio, saving you from having to look at overly petite buttons every time you want to make an adjustment on your journey. A night mode means it’ll fit into the aesthetics of your car too.
For older cars, it’s an ideal substitute for built-in dashboard systems that more latest cars suggest.
Dashdroid
The best Android dashboard replacement, Dashdroid keeps it plain with eight custom-built buttons and a central display. The display offers the current time, weather as well as your current speed, while voice directions ensure you don’t have to take your palms off the steering wheel to make a call or text.
It could look more stylish, but its concentrate on a clean interface means it won’t divert you while driving. You can customize buttons for your frequently used apps too. And, eventually, it’s free.
AutoMate
Not everyone can spring for a fresh car or radio with Android Auto connectivity, but AutoMate brings the clean car-friendly user interface to any Android phone or tablet. AutoMate integrates with Google Maps, messaging, phone calls, music apps and voice controls.
The app is free for basic features, but you can pay $Three.17 (converted to £Two.25 or AU$Four.Nineteen) to unlock premium features that lets you set AutoMate as the default phone launcher. Premium also adds hands-free gesture controls, like you can get in a BMW 750i if your phone has a light sensor, traffic camera alerts and custom-made wallpaper.
And in case you want to shoehorn a tablet or phone into your car, AutoMate lets you automate functions like power on, power off, shut off communications, close apps, etc. when it detects power via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, so an Android tablet can substitute your in-dash radio.
Strike the Traffic
Your daily commute is a drive that you can almost do in your sleep. You don’t need guidance on how to get there, but you do need to know when a traffic jam or incident is in your way.
Hit the Traffic provides real-time traffic updates, crowd sourced by other users, before providing you with a fresh quickest route to dodge the issue. All for 100% free.
Spot an incident that hasn’t been reported yet? Simply jiggle your device to give others the goes up. You’ll always know just how delayed you’re going to be.
GasBuddy
Buying cheap gas can make a world of difference to your car’s running costs. While those few cents or pennies don’t seem that significant on their own, they soon add up. GasBuddy sets out to find the cheapest gas near you, no matter where you are.
You can search via your current location or via a city or zip code, meaning you know exactly what’s ahead of you. For US users, submitting gas prices yourself gives you a chance of winning $100 (£65, AU$140) of gas each day, too, along with other awards for regular submissions. Better yet, it’s all free.
Spotify
There’s no need to be restricted to using the traditional radio to listen to music any more. Streaming services like Spotify have taken off through your PC or phone, and they can be just as lightly loved through your car.
Some cars suggest Spotify directly to your dashboard but for everyone else, you can use Bluetooth or an auxiliary jack to hook things up. The free app lets you listen to any artist or album, providing you have an internet connection, while subscribing offers offline listening and ad-free music.
Automatic
Requiring a separate car adapter, Automatic is worth the initial outlay of $99 (£65, AU$141). It turns any car into a more connected car than either CarPlay or Android Auto can say, suggesting fuel level tracking, parking reminders, and fuel saving habits.
The app will track your miles per gallon, how much each journey costs you, and keep an eye on whether you’ve been braking excessively hard on those journeys. A separate feature is also there for analyzing engine lights and providing you some guidance as to whether there’s a problem and what you need to do to correct it.
