My cab is home to a number of gadgets. I use an Insta360 camera, my phone acts as a satnav, I have my stereo hooked up to Amazon Music, and a whole host of other little connectivity gizmos.
USB Hub – I use this to power a few devices at a time. It’s true to say that sometimes you can’t really charge quite as many devices simultaneously as you have the number of ports for (due to them all collectively pulling too much power), but it’s convenient to have them all connected and it will redirect the charge once it’s finished charging something else.

Buy Now on AmazonInsta360 – A great device for capturing video footage of myself or other road users. I run it in loop mode while I’m driving. If something happens, then I just hit STOP and then START again, and it saves the last few minutes of footage. It records audio as well as video, too.
