Toyota of Orlando rounds up the coolest car gadgets of 2023

It seems like cars these days get more and more tech-driven, efficient, and connected – every time you get behind the wheel, the comforts of home are never far behind, especially when you drive a new Toyota. However, no matter how cool our – or anyone else’s – cars are, there’s always room for improvement. Our Orlando Toyota dealership has made a list of the coolest car gadgets of 2023 for you to shop.

What are the coolest car gadgets on the market right now?

Car seat gap filler: You know that feeling when you’re driving and all of a sudden your phone slides out of your lap and down into the black hole that exists between your seat and the center console? There’s no going back – if you want your phone, you have to pull over and do a deep dive to excavate it. Well, you can avoid having that feeling ever again by buying a car seat gap filler. These handy inserts go in between your front seats and the center console so you’ll never lose anything to the Marianas Trench ever again.

Screen magnifier: If you’ve got whiny kids in the backseat, you know how rough a road trip can be… especially if you forgot the tablet. A portable screen magnifier lets you do just that – magnify whatever is playing on your phone screen 3-4 times to keep your kids entertained while you focus on hitting the highway.

USB Adapter: There never seem to be enough USB ports in the car, especially when you’ve got a family. A USB adaptor plugs into the cigarette lighter to provide two more ports (who uses the cigarette lighter anymore, anyway?).

Air purifier: Don’t let your seasonal allergies slow you down (and keep your car smelling fresh in the interim) – get a portable air purifier for your Orlando Toyota. We consider this to be one of the coolest car gadgets because it plugs into your 12V outlet and releases negative ions into the air to freshen things up.

Thumbs-up and Thumbs-down light: You can yell and flash rude gestures at people all you want but honestly, in our opinion, a simple thumbs-down is way more insulting. Grab a flashing thumbs-up/thumbs-down light and stick it in your back window – you can mount the remote control to your dash and hand out thumbs-downs with the press of a button.

Amazon Echo Auto Gen 2: Are you a big fan of Alexa in your home? Bring her along for the ride – invest in an Amazon Echo Gen 2 adaptor for your car. This high-tech car gadget connects to your phone and your car’s speakers via Bluetooth so you can stream music and podcasts, make calls, check the weather, and more while on the go.

Wireless backup camera: If you’re in an older model that doesn’t have a backup camera and wish you did, technology can save the day. Another one of the coolest high tech car gadgets on the list is a wireless backup camera that you can add after the fact. You mount the camera on the back of your car and the corresponding screen to the dash, giving yourself a 110-degree view of everything behind you without having to shell out for a new Toyota.

Wireless CarPlay Adaptor: If you’re one of the people who bought your Orlando Toyota the year before wireless Apple CarPlay was a thing, we feel your pain (this writer does, at least). However, if you’re sick of the cords, you can invest in a wireless CarPlay adaptor. It syncs to your Bluetooth to allow your Orlando Toyota to utilize wireless Apple CarPlay just as you would if it were hooked up via a USB cord.

Travel cooler and warmer: Who doesn’t want cold drinks and hot food on the go? We recommend a travel cooler and warmer. It’ll hold up to twelve cans of soda and you can keep them cold with the press of a button, or keep your takeout toasty warm on the way home. It’s worth the investment!
