So you’ve bought a new car. You’ve taken it for a ride around the city and excitedly shown it to all your friends and family members. But as you are driving, you glance at the dashboard and realize that it wears a deserted look.

Though you’ve invested all your savings in buying the car, the interiors (especially the front console) still have standard, manufacturer-fitted equipment. And shelling out more money would disrupt your budget.

Don’t worry, as we’ve curated a list of accessories that you can use for sprucing up your new car. These are available on all leading e-commerce websites. Let’s get started.

Audio-Video (AV) Console

The first thing that comes to any car buyer’s mind after deciding on the car itself is the music console. There are many single and double on any buyer’s mind after short-listing on a car – its music console. Single and Double DINs from many manufacturers like Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, JBL, and Blaupunkt are available. If you can stretch your budget further, you can go for premium brands like Rockford Fosgate, Nakamichi and Harman Kardon.

Depending on specifications, head units and amplifiers start at Rs 5,000 each. Make sure to narrow the correct configuration required before ordering. An ‘all in one’ should ideally have USB and AUX support, Bluetooth, iPod/iPhone connectivity and amplifier support.

Though the price of a dual DIN is higher than single DIN, it offers more features.
Among the others, Pioneer’s MVH-AV189 is a decent bet with its 15.7cm WVGA touchscreen unit with USB playability.

Speaker

Having a good speaker system is essential, as it complements the head unit. This is because without efficient speaker output, the AV console is practically of no use.

A good option is Pioneer’s TS-A6996R A-Series 5-way speaker. It offers improved bass with high power handling and a new design. The speaker system is designed to give enhanced sound quality at affordable value.

It includes a new multi-layer mica-matrix cone structure for wider dispersion of sound and deeper bass. There’s also a new tweeter designed to deliver improved mids and highs.

Woofer

What good is a speaker system if you cannot hear the correct beats? Without a good bass output system amplifying the beats, you would hear nothing but silent reverberations, regardless of the speaker system you get.

Also, you have to be careful while getting woofers installed as well. They shouldn’t be too loud as to distract you from focusing on driving. A good example would be JBL‘s GTO car woofers. These can handle a lot of power are quite efficient.

Amplifier

If the head unit, speakers and the woofer are not connected together to an audio amplifier, you won’t get anything out of the package. Most head units and woofer-speaker systems need a lot of power to function.

In some cases, you would also require a separate connector system as an auxiliary source for power transfer. However, the lesser devices you have, the better it is for your car. At the end, you wouldn’t want your car’s battery to get overloaded.

A good option in this category is the Alpine MRV-F300 4-channel car amplifier. It features a built-in monitoring system for temperature control. Providing a max power of 300 watt with a bridged output of 4 ohms, the MRV-F300 has four input channels. The mounts can be attached to the amplifier for easy installation.

LCD/Screen

Last but definitely not the least, we have the screen. If you (and your co-passengers) want to be able to enjoy a movie while on the road, a good LCD panel inside the car is a must have. It perfectly complements the vehicle’s entertainment system.
