Easy Ways to Make Your Car a Smarter Car

If your vehicle is a few years old or didn't come with navigation or voice control, we can help you. There are plenty of easy ways to add smart features. Here are a few you'll want to check out.

Garmin Speak Plus with Amazon Alexa is a simple way to add tons of smart features. It brings the things you love about Amazon Alexa to your car. Answer calls, stream music, hear news, add to your shopping list, control smart home devices when you're out, and more, with your voice. Speak Plus connects to your car via Bluetooth or with an AUX cable, so Alexa's responses and music play through your car's speakers. Plus, since it's a Garmin, it's a GPS too. Get spoken turn-by-turn directions with visual cues and lane guidance. There's a built-in dash cam* too, which automatically records your drive and saves video of incidents. And, advanced features like forward collision and lane departure warnings help encourage safer driving.

Get a quick answer when your check engine light comes on, by adding Automatic Pro. It can diagnose the issue with easy-to-understand descriptions and maybe even save you a trip to the mechanic. This car adapter plugs into the OBD II port, which is usually under your dash, then sends data to your compatible phone. So you'll know what's wrong before you head to the auto shop. Automatic Pro helps keep you safe too. It will alert trained responders if you get into a serious accident, 24/7. Plus, it tracks the car's real-time location, so you can keep tabs on your kids when they borrow the car, or find it easily when you forget where you parked.

Ever wish you could start your car with your phone? The DroneMobile Remote Start Add-On Module can do that. It pairs with an app that allows you to start your car from wherever you are. It's a convenient way to get the A/C or heat going before you get in. You can even unlock and lock the doors with the app. You'll need a compatible remote start system to set it up, but if you don't have one, we sell and install those, too.

You don't have to be a gearhead to add tech to your car. Geek Squad® can install it for you. Our Autotechs are Mobile Electronics Certified Professionals, and you'll get a lifetime workmanship guarantee.
