There's something for everyone in Chinavasion's range of car accessories and gadgets, from handy little boxes that will tell you how well the engine is performing to a neat breathalyzer kit that indicates whether you are safe to drive.

Car accessories are currently in hot demand, both with individuals and wholesalers. If you run your own webshop or are an eBay trader, cheap car gadgets and gizmos are a good opportunity for you to realise a quick profit, by purchasing bulk orders or single item dropship deliveries. If you are new to retailing, you could order a few different samples, choosing the products you like, or the products you think will sell best, and then order in bulk to save on shipping and get an even lower wholesale price.

Car Accessories Shop: What's Inside?

We've divided our car accessories into four main categories to make it easier for you to find what you're looking for - Car Diagnostic Tools, Bluetooth Car Kits, Car Alarms/Car Security and Car Gadgets/Accessories.

Our diagnostic tools include OBD2 readers that can warn about potential problems before they affect a car's performance, and Black Box recorders to record and store trip data such as acceleration and average speed. Our small but perfectly formed selection of Bluetooth Car Kits give you hands-free phone calls while you're driving, with the added benefit of listening to MP3s on your mobile through your car's speakers. Our Car Alarm / Car Security products can protect your car from thieves and intruders and includes GPS tracking devices to pinpoint your car's position, and parking sensors for stress-free reversing.

Finally, our Gadgets section includes AC inverters, cup warmers and LED flashlights for the car. We even have a sound activated rear window sticker that looks like a graphic equaliser and bounces up and down in time to your music. Now who wouldn't want one of those?

Breathalyzers: It's Cheap And Easy To Confirm You Are Safe To Drive!

You've visited your friends and had a pleasant afternoon eating a delicious meal and catching up on old times. You've had a drink or two and been for a short walk. Now it's time to drive home. Can you drive safely? You feel fine, but how can you be sure? If you had a Breathalyzer Keychain Car (CVEHL-62) you could check whether you are legal to drive. This mini breathalyzer has a clear traffic light readout, making it easy to gauge how much alcohol is in your system. Simply blow for five seconds then wait. A green light means you are good to go; yellow and you may want to wait a while before you drive home, while red indicates you should hand your keys to a friend. Please note that this is a reference tool only; if you need to be 100% confident you should not drink at all if you have to drive.

Don't Tell Me You Try To Hold Your Phone To Call While Driving?

You want to be able to use your phone safely when you're driving. What you don't want is wires messing up your interior or a lump of plastic stuck to the dashboard of your beloved car. Why not try a Bluetooth Car Rear view Mirror (CVSB-957-N1)? This clever gadget lets you keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel while making and receiving hands-free calls. Simply snap it over your existing rear view mirror and you are ready to hit the road! It's easy to install and also come with an MP3 player and FM radio. It can even send music from an SD card or USB flash drive to your car stereo.

Confused By Tech Jargon?

• OBD
  OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics, which monitor your car's performance and can detect problems and display vital information while you are on the road. Mostly, OBD focuses on the emissions of a vehicle. Once fitted, OBD can warn you in advance of any problems with your car and will turn on the "check engine" or "service engine soon" indicator should it detect a problem, so that you can get to a garage before your car breaks down. OBD1, the earliest version, is usually connected to a car's console. OBD2, introduced in the early 1990s, reads data through a Bluetooth connection.
  
• Bluetooth
  Bluetooth technology enables you to transfer information over short distances without the need for a wire. A Bluetooth chip can be fitted in many electronic devices, including computers and mobile phones, and used to transmit file data, such as music, photos or documents, to another Bluetooth enabled device without having to use a cable.
  
• GPS
  GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a navigation system that uses a network of 24 satellites orbiting the planet to provide location and time information anywhere on earth. The system sends signals to and from the satellites to your GPS device and uses this information to calculate your position. Using map data, the technology also enables you to plan routes, find out about nearby locations and approximate your speed and journey time.
  
• G-Sensor
  A G-Sensor is a device that can measure a vehicle's acceleration, cornering and braking while the vehicle is on the move. The 'G' stands for gravity, as the G-Sensor can measure the force of acceleration, or how quickly a car is speeding up.
  
• Power inverter
  A power inverter converts the DC power in your car's battery to AC. You can use conventional AC power to operate all kinds of household devices - electric lights, radios, TVs, laptops, portable DVD players, games consoles...

Looking For A Cool Car Gadget Gift For Dad?

With so many different products it is difficult to pick just one - so we've picked two! First up is a one-of-a-kind car vacuum cleaner (CVXR-G473) in the shape of a DSLR camera lens. Powered by your car's 12V DC power supply, this useful little gadget can clear up dust and crumbs to keep your car clean and tidy. Shaped to look like a camera lens, it is ideal for photography enthusiasts and perfect for getting into those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies in your vehicle.

Or if that doesn't tempt you, why not try a Bluetooth to Android OBD2 diagnostic tool (CVSN-A166). This handy device connects your car's on-board diagnostics to an Android phone or tablet (we sell those too), and can be used to monitor your car's performance and spot faults before they lead to a breakdown. And because it's Bluetooth there are no wires, making it easy to set up.
