London, UK - The 2012 Auto Express Product Awards has been revealed and the gadget most drivers can't live without – their sat-navs.
Over 25% of the votes named a GPS system as their in-car gadget of choice, trumping air-conditioning and audio systems.
The Product of the Year title belongs to digital radio specialist Pure for its Highway 300Di. This device can add Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and iPod connectivity to any audio system.
ADDING VALUE TO YOUR RIDE
Bilt-Hamber claimed three awards for its cleaning products while TomTom scooped the prize for Best smartphone app. Readers chose Goodyear as the Best summer tyre and Continental for winter.
Steve Fowler, editor of Auto Express, said: “With many car owners holding onto their cars for longer, keeping them pristine is critical to maximising their value at resale time. The Auto Express Product Awards is a chance for us to acknowledge the very Best products out there for our readers to add value to their cars.”
