What are the must-have items for a new car?

Must-have items include a dash cam, sunshade, temporary parking sign, and a jack. Below is an introduction to purchasing a new car: 1. Materials: Provide relevant documents and apply for a parking space permit. Individuals need to provide an ID card; companies need to provide a corporate legal person code certificate, and state-owned units also need to provide a "control office" quota. 2. Location: Local relevant regional departments. 3. Process: After the owner selects the car model and pays the purchase price, the dealer will provide the manufacturer's vehicle quality certificate and a three-day vehicle movement permit, and issue a purchase invoice. When issuing the purchase invoice, the owner needs to provide their name and ID number.

When I first got my new car, I spent quite some time figuring out what to install. First, a dash cam is a must—given the complex road conditions these days, it helps prevent fraud and serves as evidence in case of accidents. Tire pressure monitoring is also crucial, providing real-time tire status for peace of mind on highways. A rearview camera is non-negotiable, especially for new drivers who won’t have to crane their necks while parking. Full-coverage floor mats are essential to keep the original carpets clean from muddy shoes on rainy days. Windshield tinting is highly practical, offering sun protection in summer and added shatter resistance. And don’t forget a phone mount for easy navigation and hands-free calls. All these add up to around 2,000 yuan—way better than dealership prices.

I think the must-have accessories for a new car depend on the usage scenario. Commuters should prioritize ETC and a fast-charging phone mount, so they can watch shows and charge their phones without hassle during traffic jams. For moms, child seat anchors and window sunshades are essential to keep kids comfortable on the road. Those who frequently drive on rough roads must install underbody protection panels to avoid worrying about stone chips. In rainy southern regions, rain guards are a must—they allow you to crack the windows for ventilation without getting wet. Always keep collapsible storage boxes and a fire extinguisher in the trunk to organize clutter and handle emergencies. Oh, and door edge guards are the most practical—no more worries about dinging other cars in tight parking spots. These accessories cost just a hundred bucks online and can be easily installed yourself.

Right after picking up the car, I installed these items first: a wireless charging pad placed on the center console for convenient phone charging anytime. A high-definition dashcam with dual front and rear cameras, recording with GPS positioning. TPE eco-friendly floor mats that are easy to rinse—no worries about spilled milk tea. A sunshade windshield protector to prevent sun damage when parked, extending the interior's lifespan by three times. The most surprising addition was the one-touch window control module, solving the issue of forgetting to close windows when locking the car for just fifty bucks. Also equipped with a window-breaking safety hammer, the kind with a cutting blade. For tire pressure monitoring, I recommend the solar-powered version to avoid wiring hassles. Planning to add a roof rack for weekend road trips, making it easy to carry suitcases and tents.

From an automotive detailing perspective, new cars must be equipped with three layers of protection. Surface protection: Paint protection film (PPF) or ceramic coating to prevent scratches, especially for black paint. Interior protection: Full-coverage seat covers and 360-degree aviation-grade floor mats, as factory fabric seats are difficult to maintain. Functional upgrades: Automatic headlight module that turns on at dusk, and HUD (Head-Up Display) to avoid looking down at the dashboard. Essential comfort modification: Ventilated seat cushions to keep your back dry during summer drives. Electronic upgrades: OEM-spec backup camera with trajectory lines, which is far more accurate than aftermarket alternatives. Lastly, always keep an emergency jump starter handy for battery issues – self-rescue without relying on others.

Our team has been into car modifications for over a decade. Here are some practical upgrades we recommend for new cars first. An anti-glare dashboard mat prevents reflections and improves driving focus. Door stopper protectors are essential as plastic parts age quickly. A cigarette lighter charger with voltage display helps monitor battery health in real time. Install a magic hook mesh net in the trunk to keep drinks from rolling around. Upgrade to silicone-coated wiper blades for crystal-clear vision during rain. Most importantly, install an auto-locking module on the OBD port to double driving safety. For frequent long-distance drivers, keep a portable air pump - it can get you to the repair shop after a puncture. These cost-effective modifications deliver maximum value for money.
