4 luxury car upgrades that are worth the money

Luxury cars generally have the latest and most advanced safety and comfort features. If your luxury car is a couple of years old, you may want to upgrade it with technologies that are being added to new launches. You do not need to sell your car and buy a new one, but only pay a fee for the modifications. Here are four upgrades that can increase the value of your luxury car.

Four-zone climate control system
A climate control system helps maintain a comfortable and pleasant cabin environment. It regulates internal temperature by automatically adjusting the speed and amount of cold or hot air. Unlike a regular climate control system, a four-zone package splits the car’s temperature for each of the four main seats. So, you can individually regulate the climate for the driver and every passenger in the front and back seats. Older luxury cars may have dual-zone climate control, one for the front and the other for the back. If you have an older model of a luxury car with dual-zone climate control, you can upgrade it to the four-zone system. 

Biometric car entry
Fingerprint security can protect your vehicle from being driven by unauthorized persons. It is a useful anti-theft feature for luxury cars and can be integrated with your vehicle’s CAN bus data network. Most systems can store about ten fingerprints and will not allow the vehicle to start unless it recognizes at least one of them. You can customize the system to send alerts if there is an attempt to start the vehicle by an unauthorized person. Advanced biometric systems can remain hidden and untraceable by strangers.

Ceramic brakes
Most brake pads in the country are made with a combination of rubber and fiberglass, while some automakers use metallic pads. Ceramic pads are made from pottery ceramic that is denser and long-lasting. They do not cause any noise when applying the brakes suddenly, and there is less wear and tear residue. It is best suited for locations that have extreme weather conditions. Many luxury brands use ceramic brake pads. If your car has organic or metallic ones, you can consider upgrading them.

Touchscreen GPS with geofencing
The primary function of a vehicle’s GPS is to track its position when moving or parked in a particular place. Since luxury cars are common targets for theft, fixing a GPS tracker can help you find the vehicle if it goes missing. A good GPS also enables you to navigate from one location to another without hassle, which can be helpful in an unfamiliar city. Further, you can set alerts for location and overspeeding if you hire a driver and want to monitor their driving habits. Some GPS systems support geofencing. It allows you to mark a geographical zone for your vehicle. If your car leaves the marked area, you get an alert on your cell phone. This upgrade is necessary if your loved ones are using the luxury car, as you can monitor their movement for safety. 

Some luxury car makers offer upgrades as a part of customer service. If not, you can reach out to private vendors who are experts in car makeovers. While some upgrades can be costly, they are more affordable than investing in a new luxury car altogether. So, many people prefer this option.
