Just in time for Father’s Day, LeaseTrader.com has shared this year’s list of top car gadgets according to its team of Customer Advisor Experts. LeaseTrader.com, the company that helps people trade their car lease to someone else, shares this gadget list from its team of customer experts who work closely with drivers on what they find appealing in car features.
“Here at LeaseTrader.com there are a number of car gadgets we’re excited about this year, including the mobile microwave for your car, and the anti-sleep driving alarm,” said John Levine, customer advisor expert at LeaseTrader.com. “This year’s list is comprised of gifts that keep fathers safe and provide the ultimate wow factor for any dad on the go.”
Why am I not surprised so many of these are related to food?

innovative safety alarm is worn over the ear and has an electronic position sensor. When Dad’s head nods forward, it sounds a loud alarm to instantly wake him up. ($15 MSRP)

He doesn’t have to be behind the wheel of a Porsche to appreciate the exciting world of Porsche racing: Instead you can offer Dad some extraordinary accessories from the Porsche Design Driver’s Selection. These high-quality gifts can be ordered at your dealership, online, or by calling 800-PORSCHE. Plus, online purchases receive free standard shipping on any order placed during the month of June! Whether it’s as simple as a Porsche-badged cap or car-themed silk tie, or incredible polycarbonate travel cases, the entire product line features high-quality materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and beautiful designs exclusive to Porsche.
Porsche-Themed Keyrings: No matter what he drives, he’s got to carry a key around, so why not give him an elegant
Porsche-themed keyfob? With dozens of choices you’re sure to find something that suits his tastes, from the classic Porsche Crest on a leather fob ($19) to a reproduction of the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) disc and caliper ($20), to the gorgeous AluTech black anodized aluminium and high-gloss polished stainless steel with spring-loaded keylatch ($139), there is something here for every driver and every price range.
