Not a fan of the heat

As the temperature rises, the air conditioning will see a lot more use in our cars. But if you want to stave that off for a bit longer, try this handy clip-on fan. The twin-speed unit can be clasped into place - or you could opt for the suction cup model - and comes with a fully adjustable head. Though, why you wouldn't use the car's own fan or even just roll down a window, we don't know. Available from www.7dayshop.com for Dh46.

Bringrr it on

Have you got to work and realised you have forgotten your mobile, returning home that evening to missed calls and missed opportunities? With this handy device, those days can be a thing of the past. The Bringrr is a Bluetooth-enabled alarm that, when plugged into your car's power socket and when paired with your phone, will warn you when the engine starts if you have forgotten your mobile. Available from bringrr.myshopify.com for Dh128.

Instant performance (sound) upgrade

Economic crisis or family obligations mean that owning that sweet-sounding, Italian sports car is just a distant dream, but this device can make even the most feeble vehicle sound as if it has a V12 under the bonnet. Just plug it into the lighter socket, select a frequency on the radio and turn up the volume; the car's speakers transmit a healthy, high-powered engine roar, matched to your throttle input.
