Today it’s all about the car. We’re going to be looking at five great accessories for the car for one of the best phones on the market, HTC’s One M8. Let’s get started!
5. Official HTC One M8 Car Cradle and Charger (D190)
We begin with an essential: an HTC One car charger. This phone’s screen does drain a fair amount of battery as it is LCD instead of AMOLED, so it’s vital to keep your phone charged if you’re using it in the car, whether that’s for satellite navigation or for taking calls on the road. The best car charger / car holder combo is probably HTC’s official option, which boasts a svelte design and uses premium materials.
4. Case-Compatible HTC One M8 In-Car Mount Cradle
If you’re looking for a solid car charger and car holder combo, but you don’t want to invest a great deal of money, then our third-party car mount cradle is a good choice. It is a little less svelte than the official HTC option, but still looks good and includes integrated charging. The holder is also case-compatible, meaning you can keep your phone in its case while in the holder.
3. Avantree High Power 2.1A Dual USB Universal In Car Charger
This One M8 car charger is an affordable, standalone unit that works simply and well. The Avantree offers two USB ports with 2.1A of charging power shared between them. That means you can charge the One M8 at full speed, or any two smartphones at a more moderate pace. A must-have for anyone that doesn’t have a car holder / car charger combo, but still wants to keep their phone charged up while they’re on the move.
2. Clip & Talk Multipoint Bluetooth Hands-free Car Kit
Once you’ve gotten a car holder sorted, the next big accessory for anyone that takes calls on the road is a hands-free kit. This keeps you safe and legal, and ensures that you can easily hear and respond to incoming calls. The Clip & Talk is our recommended option here: it’s affordable, effective and dead simple to use.
1. RoadTune Universal Hands-free In-Car Kit with FM Transmitter
If you’re looking to get all your in-car functions in one device, the RoadTune is what you should look at first. The RoadTune comes with a number of functions – car holder, car charger, hands-free device – but the winning element for me is the FM Transmitter. This device transmits your phone’s audio – calls and music – onto an FM frequency, which you can tune into with your car’s stereo. The net result is getting your music and calls playing through your car speakers, which sounds brilliant.
