In spring, many drivers want to spend more time with their car, making it more convenient, comfortable, and reliable. The simplest path is to rely on handy devices available online that enhance the driving experience.
Neck and back massage pillows
Spring brings more road trips and longer hours behind the wheel. Prolonged driving can leave the back and neck stiff. A compact massager powered by a 12-volt outlet helps relax and stretch the muscles. A small pillow targets the cervical spine, while a larger one soothes the lumbar region.
A set of two pillows is typically priced around 3600 rubles, with top and bottom cushions available separately if needed.
Colors for the massage cushions can be selected to match personal taste.
Compact battery washer
This handheld device runs on an internal battery charged via a USB-C connector. It delivers a water flow of up to 72 liters per hour and a maximum pressure of 7 bars. The kit includes a foam nozzle and a hose for draining water from a bucket.
In the summerhouse, the universal and compact car wash proves versatile for many tasks. The price is about 6000 rubles.
Combined inclinometer
On early spring trips into nature, equipping an SUV with an inclinometer can be very practical. Modern units include a compass and can measure the angle of ascent or descent, roll, as well as the vehicle’s on-board voltage and GPS-based speed. This is especially helpful for owners with large off-road wheels, where the stock speedometer can distort readings. The device is typically priced around 4000 rubles.
The inclinometer is placed on the dashboard and powered by a 12-volt outlet.
Foot-operated trunk
For enthusiasts of hands-free trunk access, a kit can enable foot-activated opening under the rear bumper. Installation typically costs around 5000 rubles. It is important to verify compatibility with the specific vehicle model beforehand.
Such systems work with station wagons that have an electric fifth door drive; for sedans, the process is simpler. The mechanism unlocks the lock and, with reinforced springs, lifts the trunk lid smoothly.
Overall, this device adds noticeable convenience to daily driving.
Seat cover with ventilation
Even in air-conditioned cabins, the driver’s back can sweat in warmer weather. By the warmer months, a ventilated seat cover powered through a car cigarette lighter can be a smart upgrade. The built-in fan directs air through openings in the cape. A seller can assist in selecting a cover that matches the seat shape. The price is around 4000 rubles.
The color of the cape can be coordinated with the seat cover for a cohesive look.
Seat cushion extension
For taller drivers, some seats have shorter cushions that leave the legs numb during long trips. A seat cushion extension lengthens the front cushion, offering better hip support. A black eco-leather rug costs about 1,500 rubles.
The mat is securely anchored where the cushion meets the backrest, with a forward extension created by a triangular ledge.
Oil trap
After winter, certain models show higher oil consumption, usually due to more highway cruising at higher speeds. This can foul the throttle body, idle control, and spark plugs. Oil can reach these components through the crankcase ventilation system if it cannot manage the gas flow. Installing an oil separator on the crankcase breather hose helps address this issue.
An aluminum cup with a built-in filter and convenient connectors, color optional, costs about 2,000 rubles. The device does not degrade the car’s environmental performance and remains legal. When draining settled oil, it should be poured into a separate container and disposed of responsibly rather than returned to the engine or the environment.
