Music Everywhere You Go: Audio Accessories Must-Haves for Your Car

They say that good things come in pairs- peanut butter and jam, bat, and ball, sweet and salty, but my favorite pair will always be music and traveling. Nothing beats the serotonin rush from an hour-long drive exploring new cities or even a quick errand run with a curated playlist on blast.

I am trying to remember a single road trip without my eclectic mix of songs ranging from dream pop to full-on garage rock. Having a wide range of music tastes means I can create and correlate new memories with songs from different artists and genres. I firmly believe that I can instantaneously revert to a specific moment and location by listening to a particular song.

Whenever I hear a song from the band Sublime, I’m immediately transported to a stretch of beach cut by towering cliffs covered with glistening sand and a luminous haze covering the water's surface far out at sea where streams of shimmering light are visible. The road was bumpy, but hearing their song called Santeria over the car's sound system reminded me of the overwhelming memories ahead.

Certain songs from the band Mazzy Star would take me back to a road trip with my family a few years back; I remember feeling euphoric as I looked around the busy streets observing the city's fast-paced lifestyle while the lead singer's dulcet tones filled the car. Looking back, I can't help but feel melancholic as I think about the busy people along the busy streets as they get along with their lives; I wonder what kind of songs they were listening to as they were on their way to their destination. The lady in the bold power suit was probably off to work listening to Beyonce's Run The World, the all-time feminist anthem. The teenagers with their hands intertwined were most likely off to a coffee shop or the mall; at the same time, Al Green's Let’s Stay Together plays in the background.

I'm eager to carry on my love affair with music and travel. It’s a good thing I came across an ad online for a wireless car play/Android auto adapter that lets me automatically connect my phone to the car's speaker via Bluetooth. It's less hassle than plugging my phone into the USB port every time I get into my car!

For only $ 119.99, the Carlinkit 4.0 Wireless Carplay Adapter supports both Apple Carplay and Android Auto, which means you can use it with either iPhones or Android phones. It's also very user-friendly; you only need to plug it in and choose it in the iPhone's Bluetooth settings. If your iPhone is in the car and the car has started after the initial connection, the Carlinkit 4.0 Adapter connects automatically and flawlessly.

Maybe you're in the market for a new car and have your heart set on one that supports Wireless CarPlay. However, you need to be aware of all the advantages of this technique. Here are a few of Wireless CarPlay's main benefits. A wireless CarPlay adapter is worth considering if you're weary of having to plug in your iPhone every time you get into the car or if you tend to remove the cord only to forget to carry it with you the next time. Also, wireless CarPlay reduces the possibility of difficulties stemming from a cable connection. It's no secret that the CarPlay cable you use affects the experience; thus, moving to a wireless solution eliminates this issue.

I'm telling you, this car accessory has made traveling an even better experience; I can't wait to get on Spotify and make the perfect playlist for the next road trip ahead.
