Interior lighting in the rhythm of music, a phone holder in the form of a robot or pedal pads with LED effects - these cool things for the car They will not only entertain passengers, but also make travel more comfortable. In 2026, manufacturers will offer gadgets with wireless charging, holographic windshield projectors, and even heated mini-fridges. We have selected 50 accessories that combine functionality and original design, and also added a price comparison table for AliExpress, Wildberries and Ozon.
The first thing you should pay attention to is the compatibility of the devices with your car model. For example, wireless chargers for iPhone 15 and Samsung Galaxy S23 require standard support Qi2, and the LED lighting under the dashboard may conflict with the on-board computer on cars with the system CAN-bus (for example, Volkswagen Golf 7 or Skoda Octavia A7). Before purchasing, check the voltage in the on-board network - some gadgets are designed for 12V, others (for example, for trucks) for 24V.
In this article you will find not only an overview of the “chips”, but also step by step installation instructions the most popular devices, as well as warnings about possible problems. For example, why you shouldn’t put cheap vinyl stickers on your dashboard or how to properly connect a USB hub so as not to burn a fuse.
1. Interior lighting: from RGB strips to starry sky projectors
LED strips with a remote control are the easiest way to transform the interior of your car. Modern models such as Xiaomi Yeelight Car LED, synchronizes with your smartphone via Bluetooth and supports 16 million colors. But there is a nuance: for cars with leather interior (for example, BMW 5 Series G30) it is better to choose silicone-coated tapes - they do not overheat and do not damage the casing.
More advanced option - starry sky projectors (for example, Galaxy Projector Car). They are attached to the ceiling and project moving constellations or clouds. Important: such devices consume up to 5W, so they cannot be connected to the cigarette lighter directly - only through a USB port with support Quick Charge 3.0.
- 🔹 RGB strips with music: React on bass and sync with audio system (Mpow Car Light).
- 🌌 Projectors: Creates an aurora or galaxy effect (Homgeek Star Projector).
- 💡 LED pedal covers: Illuminates the driver's legs in the dark (Nillkin Pedal Light).
- 🚗 License plate light: Legal options with white light (HELLA LED License Plate Light).
⚠️ Attention: In Russia, interior lighting in red and blue colors is prohibited (Administrative Code 12.5, part 3). Also, you cannot install flashing lights - this is regarded as an imitation of special signals.
2. Phone holders: from magnetic to transforming robots
Classic suction cup holders (e.g. Baseus Magnetic Car Mount) can withstand up to 15 kg, but lose adhesion at temperatures below -10°C. Alternative - magnetic mounts, which are built into the ventilation grille or dashboard. For owners Tesla Model 3/Y holder will fit Taptes with automatic locking when a smartphone approaches.
The most unusual options: Transforming robot (RoboHolder) — holds the phone and distributes Wi-Fi via the built-in 4G modem. Cooler holder (Arctic Air Chill) — cools the smartphone while navigating. Wireless charging pad (Anker PowerWave) - compatible with cases up to 5 mm thick.
| Model | Mounting type | Wireless charging | Price (₽) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baseus Magnetic | Magnet + gel | 15W (Qi) | 2 490 |
| RoboHolder Pro | Transforming robot | No | 4 990 |
| Anker PowerWave | Suction cup + clamp | 10W (Qi) | 3 290 |
| Taptes Auto-Clamp | Automatic fixation | 20W (Qi2) | 5 790 |
If the holder is mounted on a dashboard, first wipe the surface with alcohol - grease and dust reduce adhesion by 70%.
3. Gadgets for comfort: heating, cooling and flavors
Mini refrigerators for a car (for example, Koolatron P20) operate from a cigarette lighter and maintain temperatures from +5°C to +65°C. They are suitable for bottles up to 0.5 liters in volume, but consume up to 60W - this can drain the battery if parked for a long time. Alternative - thermal bags with USB heating (Tourit Cool Bag), which hold the temperature for up to 8 hours.
To scent the interior, it is better to avoid liquid air fresheners - they leave sticky stains on the plastic. Optimal options: Carbon filters (FRAM CF10134) - removes odors of tobacco and animals. Air ionizers (Xiaomi Roidmi 2S) - cleaned from dust and bacteria. Wood flavors (Black Ice) - do not contain alcohol and do not cause allergies.
- ❄️ Refrigerator Koolatron P20: 12V/24V, volume 20 l, weight 2.5 kg.
- 🔥 Heater RoadPro 12V: Heats food up to 70°C in 30 minutes.
- 🌿 Air purifier Philips GoPure: Removes 99% of viruses and mold.
- 🚬 Ozonizer EcoBreeze: Eliminates cigarette odor in 10 minutes.
⚠️ Attention: Do not use ozonizers more than once a week - high concentrations of ozone (more than 0.1 ppm) are harmful to the lungs. After treatment, ventilate the salon for 15-20 minutes.
4. Entertainment for passengers: screen, games and karaoke
Suitable for rear passengers head mounted monitors (for example, Pyle PLHM78D) with support HDMI and USB. They are mounted on chairs and operate from a cigarette lighter, but require a separate DVD player or Fire TV Stick for streaming. A more compact option - tablet holders (VaygWay Tablet Holder), which are fixed on the headrests and are adjustable in angle.
For karaoke lovers there is wireless microphones (Bonaok Q37) with echo and lighting that connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth. And for children - game consoles like Nintendo Switch with car adapter 8BitDo, which allows you to play on the steering wheel (suitable for Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and other crossovers with a flat steering wheel).
Make sure your monitor supports your device's resolution (Full HD or 4K).
Check the length of the cables—minivans may require an HDMI extender.
For tablets, choose holders with shock absorption to avoid falls on bumps.
If you have a hybrid or electric car, check compatibility with the energy recovery system.

5. Unusual accessories: from coffee holders to parking sensors with a camera
Coffee holders (CupHolderHero) with heating and a lock prevent the drink from spilling on potholes. They are attached to a standard cup holder and are powered by USB. For fast food lovers there is food organizers (Car Seat Tray), which are mounted on the steering wheel and have compartments for burgers, fries and sauces.
Among the useful "tricks": Parking sensors with 360° camera (Boyo VTL360) — show a “transparent hood” on the radio screen. Tire pressure sensors (TPMS Solar) — send notifications to your phone when you get a puncture. Laptop charging stations (Jackery PowerBar) - convert 12V to 220V for work on the road.
How to install parking sensors with a camera yourself
1. Drill holes in the bumper (use the template included in the kit).
2. Connect the camera to the control unit via a video cable (usually RCA).
3. Lay the wires along the threshold of the passenger compartment, securing them with plastic clamps.
4. Connect the unit to the rear lights (plus to the reverse lamp, minus to the body).
5. Adjust the sensitivity of the sensors using the remote control (optimal distance is 1.2 m).
6. Humor and personalization: stickers, figures and “gags”
Vintage stickers on the bumper (for example, "Baby on Board" or "Caution: New Driver") can be ordered at Etsy with personal text. For meme lovers there are sets with characters from Rick and Morty or Simpsons. But remember: stickers on the windshield (even small ones) can result in a fine under Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses - they limit visibility.
Among the most popular "gags": Figures on the hood (Hula Girl or Yoda) - are attached with magnets. Inscriptions on the gas pedal (“Turbo”, “Nitro”) - sold in the form of vinyl stickers. Sound signals (Air Horn) - replace the standard beep with a melody from Star Wars or the cry of an eagle. Fake buttons (“Eject Seat”, “Hyperdrive”) - for pranking passengers.
For owners Tesla or BMW i4 there are special steering wheel covers with style lighting Cyberpunk 2077, and for UAZ Patriot — seat covers with camouflage print and pockets for a hunting knife.
— Do they block the view or registration plates?
— Do they violate traffic rules (for example, flashing lights).
— Will they damage the paintwork (this is especially true for magnetic figures).

7. Security and anti-vandalism: hidden fastenings and trackers
GPS trackers (for example, Tile Pro or Apple AirTag) help track the car in case of theft, but they are easy to detect with a scanner. A more reliable option - hidden beacons (SpyTec GL300), which are mounted under the bumper and operate from a built-in battery for up to 2 weeks. Suitable for protection against vandals: Pads for locks (LockJaw) - block access to the larva. Armored film (3M Scotchgard) - protects glass from breaking. Fake cameras (Dummy Camera) - scare away thieves (effectiveness ~60%).
For owners of premium cars (for example, Mercedes S-Class or Porsche 911) yes remote engine shutdown systems (Pandora DXL 4700), which are triggered by unauthorized access. But their installation requires intervention in the wiring - it is better to trust this to professionals.
8. Eco-gadgets: solar panels and air purifiers
Portable solar panels (Bluetti SP120) with a power of 120W allow you to charge your car’s battery while traveling outdoors. They weigh about 5 kg and fold down to the size of a laptop. For hybrids (eg Toyota Prius) there are special universal chargers (EcoFlow River), which plug into an outlet in the parking lot and support solar charging.
To improve the environment in the cabin: Activated carbon filters (FRAM Extra Guard) - traps up to 98% of harmful particles. Humidifiers (Xiaomi Smartmi) - maintain humidity at 40-60% (optimal for allergy sufferers). Biodegradable fresheners (EcoZone) - free of phthalates and formaldehyde.
⚠️ Attention: Do not leave solar panels on the roof while driving - they create additional aerodynamic drag (up to +0.3 l/100 km fuel consumption).
