I tried five unusual gadgets on an older car: a solar dummy alarm that is only a blinking light, colour tyre pressure valve caps, a solar tyre pressure monitor with four external sensors, a thermal night vision camera and an Android head unit. I fit each one, show how it works on the car, and say what it actually does. The dummy alarm did not work in my test. The links are the closest similar listings I could find, so check the model before you buy.

Looking at my tires the air pressure looked fine
but see all of them have low air pressure.
This is for old cars the ones that did
not have some fancy stuff in them. This is actually
Actually,
a fake tracker like have you seen those cars
in which there is a blinker light going on
telling you that hey this car is being tracked
and protected so don't touch it.
it's that and the good thing is that they did say it
was solar yeah it has solar panels there is a
micro usb charging let's give it some light no okay
so it's the new day so this thing never
worked for me i'm assuming it's not working
or useless the next in line is this one which is
which is tire pressure monitor,
it's a very simple cover for your
tires to monitor their pressure safe green mean
all good yellow mean warning get ready and
red mean dead right so the colors are self-explanatory let's remove
I don't know.
previous color
and let's try on this one whoa it does
some leakage leakage as well okay so it's
it definitely did change so the green is up see
so i'm assuming it's giving me green
because this one is down this one is up
so look at the ratio between the red and the green here
on this one and then if we go to this wheel this
has actually less green or more red so it means
this tire pressure is less than others apparently
this is also tire pressure monitor and
fun fact my car does not have any tire pressure monitor by the way
just in case you are wondering
and you would install them on top of your wheel and they should
give you pressure monitor reading on this tiny little device
which also has solar panel apparently
there is no change and if it works correctly why
is there no change okay so i since it was not
giving any reading change so what i did
is that i opened it up the sensor you can easily open it up
This is the wrench that comes with it.
CR1632. So what I did is just I just
ordered some random brands CR1632
button batteries and then I installed them and immediately I started
installing them then it connected.
Need to be careful front left it is front
left. Okay. I think
that there is an actually
as an easy way to find out I do
have another Xiaomi air compressor
so if I bring it when I pump it it can go 30 psi
So let's try that then.
Now as per this tire pressure monitor as you can see it says 16
on my front left. Well let's find out.
As you can see the air pressure monitor
detected it correctly and that actually means
that this tire is actually punctured.
The style is not correct so I should get it fixed
but for now let's fill in the
Here so that we can verify it. We have full 30.
Now let's install the pressure monitoring
cab and see.
But the reading is correct and I
verified it through this reader and this
reader both agree. By the way you can adjust it.
The low pressure is mine. Low pressure should be 20.
you can adjust it in the settings using
this M button long press it and it will
start showing you different settings here it is
right almost in the center of this so anyone
here can actually see it
and you can change its unit it has an audible alarm
what more you can do you want to ask from it by the way for
those of you wondering what this thing is this is actually
a thermal camera screen let me turn it on
Let's say it's a Robofinity.
and it's a thermal camera for fog you can see
at the night as well with this one and it has
object detection let me actually start
and see if it works okay so see i turned off i'm turning on
the light and yet the camera does
not show any difference because it doesn't care about
the light or fog so it's a thermal camera and it has
Audio feedback recording built-in and all
those and you see it was I think around
Six or seven hundred dollars so don't consider it cheap like
this one another thing while we are here quickly
I want to show you is the screen this Honda City actually had
an old screen which barely worked
so I went and installed a new screen, so I
ordered this one and it's an excellent screen.
It has a built-in eSIM as well.
So for example, if I go this is the built-in eSIM it has
It has...
You can get data connection
in different countries without installing any SIM card
It is I think 10-inch really good screen really responsive
and as you can see 4G popped up right there. I think my
and data ran out of it so i need to recharge it
but there was a signal you don't even need to
install the same or you can install
the same using physical SIM using this one that's oh
yeah it's called x10 series
and it has ram of 8gb my last one had a ram of just one gb
and the snapdragon processor i have been using it for more than a year
And I really love it. You have live wallpapers.
The live is still not working for some reason.
So if you are looking for something like that,
Android Auto and CarPlay,
wireless connecting.
So there it is.
You have Android Auto, you also have
CarPlay, both wireless.
Mine only has this back camera.
And you have
camera. Haven't really configured it
exactly.
It's actually Gemini. Wi-Fi is here as you can see
but for some reason it's still not working.
So as you can see there is a system update available right away.
So these they keep adding
things. The previous one had terrible mics.
People would complain all about it. It has some excellent
mics. What do you think of the gadgets and what do you think of me?
But I love doing it so I will
keep doing it. So I appreciate you guys watching. Take care. Bye.
