If you drive an old beater like me, you’ve probably got nagging CarPlay envy.

I love CarPlay, but my old wreck doesn't even have Bluetooth, and I’m too cheap (and lazy) to install a complicated aftermarket head unit.

I’d also love a backup camera so I don’t constantly smash the neighbor’s fender when I park in front of our house (and have to take off and park somewhere else like it wasn’t me!).

Luckily, it’s easy to add both wireless CarPlay and a combo 4K dashcam/backup cam for just over $200.

You can get a 9-inch wireless CarPlay display that plugs into your cigarette lighter, plus a cool touch-sensitive backup/dashcam that attaches to your rearview mirror.

Check out the videos for both: They show how easy it is to add these devices and how well they work.

I know how I’ll be tricking out my truck.

Get a 4K dashcam that doubles as a backup cam

Dashcams are a great way to monitor the road and protect yourself in case of an accident, but a cheap cam can be more trouble than it’s worth.

When it comes to features, this 4K touchscreen dashcam has everything a safe driver needs. The 10-inch IPS touchscreen attaches easily to your rearview mirror, and it costs less than $100.

4K dashcam and backup cam in one

From the moment you turn on this dashcam, you’ll be surprised by the clarity of the imagery it captures. The front cam records in a colorful, 4K 170-degree view. And it can switch to a super-sharp night vision mode when the sun goes down or conditions get dark.

Recording is automatic, and a loop feature lets it keep taking footage even after your memory fills up on long trips. Best of all, there’s no need to lift a finger if you want to take a still photo or stop the camera altogether. You can do just about anything you need with a simple voice command.

Parallel parking made easy

And the cam doesn’t just keep you safer in the front. You can switch the view between your front cam and a 160-degree rear lens that can be used as a backup camera. When you go into reverse, it automatically displays assist lines that can help you ease into tight spaces. Plus, there’s a G-sensor that can detect incoming collisions and alert you if you get too close to something.

Right now, you can get the 4K rearview mirror–mounted touchscreen with a dash and backup camera for $95.99, a full 20% off the original MSRP.
