Before you can drive anywhere, you’ll need to find your car keys. 

Keeping a Tile Mate Bluetooth tracker on your keychain can help ensure you always know where your car keys are located. You simply attach the Tile to your keychain, and whenever you can’t find your keys, you can use the Tile app to make your keys ring.

The app also tracks the last place it paired with your smartphone, so if you leave your keys somewhere outside your home, you’ll be able to see where you left them. 

You can purchase the Tile tracker on Amazon for $24.99. 

Dashcams can be used to shoot a memorable drive, but they can also come in handy if you get into an accident.

You can purchase the Black Box B60 for $69.95 on Amazon.

Automatic is a small car adapter that you plug into the on-board diagnostics port of your car to get all kinds of data about your vehicle.

The device — which pairs with your phone via Bluetooth — diagnoses engine problems, remembers where you parked, displays your trip history, and can even call for help in the case of an accident.

There’s even an Automatic app gallery, which features apps for business, convenience and savings, and safety. For example, the Concur app lets drivers track mileage for work trips, making expenses easy.

You can also connect the device to your Amazon Echo so that you can do things like ask Alexa how much fuel you have or how much you drove last week. 

The device, which works with most cars that were built since 1996, is available on Amazon for $76.99.

A GPS tracker connects with your smartphone to let you know the location of your vehicle at all times. 

While this gadget is probably more useful for parents trying to keep tabs on their teens, it can also come in handy in the unfortunate event someone tries steals your vehicle.

You can buy the Spy Tec portable GPS tracker on Amazon for $49.95. However, you’ll also need to pay $25 a month for the tracking service. 

One of the best features in new cars these days is the blind spot alert function. The feature is basically just a light built into the sideview mirror that flashes when someone is in your blind spot.
