Last year we reviewed the older Garmin DriveAssist 50 sat nav dash cam. The 51, is the updated model for 2017. It still combines a Sat Nav with dash cam capabilities, for what is arguably the same cost as a decent dash cam these days. But what’s it like? What is it? An […]

When you hear the name Cobra in an automotive sense you either thing AC or car alarms, not battery packs. But Cobra Electronics are the brand that created the first ever CB radio. These days they offer a range of car techcessories including dashcams, sat navs and speed camera detectors. One of their niftiest devices […]
After recently purchasing a near enough three year old car, that had always run on 95 octane fuel, we wondered if putting a bottle of Cataclean through the lines would make any difference at all. There are numerous products out there that can clean your catalytic converter, the idea is to improve performance and reduce […]
Having reviewed the amazing ‘Dash Nav Cam’ that is the DriveAssist 50 we thought we best check out its little brother, the DriveSmart 50. Coming in at £159.99 from Halfords, the DriveSmart 50 is a whopping £120 cheaper than the DriveAssist model. In The Box It’s all very no frills with the Garmin, you […]

Having previously reviewed a few dashcams – some of them even being cleverly concealed these days – but what about a dash cam built into a sat nav? Garmin have you covered!

So it may not be the most obvious of products for us to review, but we do a fair bit of filming, and action cameras are always awesome to have for track days or road trips. As we have seen in the past TomTom are branching out from being a “sat nav company”, the hands-free […]
Fuel economy is something quite high up on most people’s requirements when purchasing a car, however you don’t always drive in the most eco-friendly way…TomTom have an app for that, CURFER. What is it? Basically it’s an OBD (On Board Diagnostics) reader with Bluetooth, however it is much more than that. The accompanying CURFER app […]
With the rise of dash cams comes the security risk involved, sitting a £200/300 piece of kit in your windscreen permanently obviously raises concerns. Now there hasn’t been any widely publicized dash cam theft spree sweeping across the UK, but naturally some still worry that their car will be broken into. Proofcam have come up […]
Dash cams started off in Russia due to the largely lawless nature of their roads, but in recent years they have started to become prevalent in the UK too. You can’t argue with video evidence, no need to find witnesses and no contesting what happened, they are the ultimate insurance policy to protect your insurance […]
We were invited by ZEISS to Berlin for the launch of DriveSafe, a new glasses lens optimised for drivers. ZEISS DriveSafe lenses combine an optimised lens design with a new coating to offer three benefits: improved detection of objects in low light conditions, a reduction in glare and, for progressive lenses , improvements in refocusing […]
Here at Carwitter we are big on car detailing. Personally, there is nothing more satisfying than having silky, smooth as glass paintwork and spending a good few hours getting it that way. I had heard of a relatively new brand hitting the scene called Wo-Wo, and their gear looked pretty good. So when they got […]
Keeping your tyres in good condition is often overlooked. You SHOULD be checking tyre pressures weekly, not only to keep yourself safe but to also look after the tyres, to make sure they are wearing correctly and to give you the optimum miles per gallon. Many new cars also dont come with spare wheels anymore. […]
