Review: Sony XAV-AX100 Car Stereo with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto (productReview)
However, it's not available on all new cars - and if your car is more than a couple of years old it definitely won't have it. This radio will replace your factory-fit radio and, as well as being able to mirror your phone on the dashboard, it can also provide access to AM/FM radio and display an image from your car's reversing camera (if fitted).
Review: Pure Highway 600 DAB radio (productReview)
What is it? The Pure Highway 600 is an aftermarket DAB radio receiver for your car that connects to your existing radio. If you pair it up to a phone you can also use it for music streaming services like Spotify, or as a hands-free system for making and receiving calls.
Review: Lenco BTL-450 Bluetooth tower speaker (productReview)
There's also a built-in FM radio with auto-scan if you don't fancy any of your own music. The radio recieves signal via a cable antenna that dangles at the back of the tower speaker, it works fine but doesn't exactly look pretty.
Review: Monojoy keyless car key signal blocker (productReview)
If you don't want to put your faith in physical solutions like the Disklok steering lock, then Faraday bags are a good preventative measure. They work by blocking electromagnetic fields, which stops radio frequencies from being amplified - meaning your car can't be stolen without the physical key.
Review: FenSens Smart Wireless Parking Sensor (productReview)
width=500&height=333" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/9163231abc7f426fb7b5dc79a107e323" /> The home screen has options for Google Maps, Spotify Music, Pandora Radio, YourMechanic and AAA Mobile. However, Pandora Radio, YourMechanic and AAA Mobile are apps that are US specific, so they're pretty much useless to anyone in the UK. The sensor screen shows distance by displaying arcing red, orange, yellow and green lines from the front or back of your car (dependent on where you put the FenSens).
Review: Kenwood DMX8020DABS Car Stereo with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (productReview)
It features a slick touchscreen display providing access to a wide range of features – including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as DAB radio and even a reversing camera or dashcam (when fitted). In the box, you'll find the stereo itself, as well as a wiring loom to connect to your car (you'll probably need an adapter as well). There's a microphone (for handsfree calls), a USB extension (for connecting your phone) and a GPS antenna for using Google Maps.
Review: Micro Wagon (productReview)
On a day out you can throw all their stuff in it, get them to pull it and when they get tired, stick them in it too. True, the Radio Flyer EZ Fold Wagon is brighter (and red) and comes with extras like a canopy, seatbelts and bottle holders, but it's more expensive than the Micro Wagon and isn't as small when folded.
Review: Anker Soundcore Flare (productReview)
There are a handful of sound presets, including one for voice which is good for listening to podcasts or talk radio, but we find the default setting best in all circumstances, giving a solid balance of bass response and clear high frequencies without sounding thin. We always have the ‘Bass Up’ feature switched on, too.
Review: Lenco L-400 Turntable (productReview)
Lenco may not be a household name, but it's been around for 70 years and the Dutch company now produces speakers, radios, portable DVD players and turntables. In fact is has a whole range of turntables, both retro and modern. The L-400 is one of its mid-range models and costs around £180 on Amazon. Confusingly, Lenco also sells the identical L-3808 (same turntable and specification), which is cheaper at £150 and also comes in a grey and white.
Review: Lexmoto Viper 125 2017 (productReview)
There is a space under the pillion seat for a smartphone and there's a USB connector, so you can charge your gadgets. Not only that, you can also play music from a USB stick or via a built-in FM radio. It’s a gimmicky feature, really, since at any more than walking pace you can barely hear it and the audio quality is downright bad. Still, it’s there and it works when you’re parked up or crawling through traffic.
Review: Marshall Major III Voice headphones (productReview)
For an office environment, the Major III aren't particularly good at drowning out noise like conversations and phones ringing - which isn't surprising considering you don't get Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) at this price. Isolation of external noise is decent, with noises like the radio in the background, the hum of the air con and typing being mostly blocked out — but then again this isolation is good because of the Major III press fairly tightly against our ears.

Review: Brainwavz B400 headphones (productReview)
But for those who plan to listen to a lot of electronic music, which is arguably the most popular genre on the radio right now, you may find the balanced armature drivers don’t produce bass sounds as well as earphones that use dynamic drivers. However, the Brainwavz B400 don't lack the power that is sometimes characteristic of balanced earphones.
Review: Mio MiVue J60 dash camera (productReview)
Next to the WiFi light is a green light that indicates the J60 is recording, and lastly is a light that shows if the mic is muted. You can opt to mute the dash cam (so it doesn't capture you singing along to the radio and the like) via a grey button next to the orange power button.
Review: Garmin 55 dash cam (productReview)
Saying "Okay Garmin" lets the device know you're about to give it a command, and then you can tell it to save videos or pictures, turn audio on or off, turn on Travelapse etc. This system works well, but if you have the radio on the dash cam sometimes seems to think it's heard a command. For example, it recorded part of my drive to work as a Travelapse video when I didn't ask it to. Footage quality is great thanks to the powerful 3.7-megapixel camera, which records an impressive 2560 x 1440 (at 30fps) maximum resolution.
Review: Garmin 66W (productReview)
This lets the device know you're about to give it a command, and then you can tell it to save videos or pictures, turn audio on or off, turn on Travelapse etc. This system works well, albeit for limited commands, but if you have the radio on the dash cam sometimes thinks it's heard an instruction and will mistakenly carry out said command - like recording your journey in Travelapse mode. The Travelapse feature takes still images as you drive and stitches these into a movie that will show you a quick version of your journey as if you're fast-forwarding through a video.
Review: Husqvarna Automower 450X (productReview)
As well as the boundary wire, guide wires can be laid within the area to be mown, either to guide the Automower back to its charging point more efficiently (the charger also sends a radio signal), to navigate between obstacles or to set up separate mowing areas. Once the boundary wire has been laid, it’s connected up to the docking station and connected to the mains via a three-pin plug - so a constant, reliable source of power is essential.
