Make Your Jeep Compass Interior Comfy

If you're the proud owner of a Jeep Compass, you'll be pleased to know that there are a number of great interior accessories that you can add that make driving your Jeep Compass even more comfortable.

Starting around the driver's seat you can add an aluminum pedal kit that will not only look great, the holed design makes it easier for your shoe to grip the pedal and reduces chances of slippage. Additionally you can add a shift knob. If you opted for an automatic transmission, you won't use it nearly as often as someone who enjoys driving a stick, but it's great when the shifter is comfortable when you grab it.

If you live in a bright and sunny area of the country, a reflective sunshade will keep the sun from making your steering wheel into an object that will feel as if it is hot enough to burn off three layers of skin at first touch. The reflective sunshade folds up when not in use and will fit under your seat or other storage area in your Jeep Compass.

If you have kids, stains and spills are going to happen and you can keep your original seats looking like new with a pair of seat covers. They fit snugly and are designed exclusively to fit your Jeep Compass. Floor mats are another item to consider if you have kids or frequent passengers in your Jeep Compass. You can keep your floor space in your Jeep Compass looking sharp, as dirty feet and occasional spills will happen. When you use floor mats all you have to do is remove, vacuum, shampoo, dry and return to your Jeep.

If there is a ban in your area, you already have a solution at hand or rather out of your hands. It is called the U-Connect and it is hands free cell phone adapter that installs easily into your Jeep and allows nearly any cell phone to become a hands free phone. You don't even have to take your hands off the steering wheel to answer the phone or make a call. The voice recognition will allow you to use voice commands to answer or make calls.

Additionally, U-Connect will automatically mute your radio when there is a call so you never have to worry about lowering the volume and taking your eyes off the road. People who have jobs that mean a lot of communication with their offices such as sales representatives and consultants will be among the most greatly affected individuals if there is a cell phone ban. Using an item like U-Connect will allow them to remain within the limits of the law as well as drive safely.

Advantages of a Remote Start

With the cooler days of fall fast approaching and winter just around the corner, if you live in an area with a lot of cold, blustery days; consider the convenience of a remote start.

A lot of people have put off getting a remote start for their Jeeps, but the pluses can't be denied. Imagine it's a hurried school morning and there is a combination of freezing drizzle and ice on the ground and you can already see you need to let the car run for a bit before you leave to get it warmed up for the kids. You need to get ready for work and you haven't even had time to change out of your nightclothes.

In the past you would have had to trudge gingerly over the ice just to start your car and then come back in the house, get the kids and then go back out the car. With a remote start, you simply point the remote at your Jeep, click and your car starts like a champ. Let it run and warm up and then all you have to do is get your kids, load up your Jeep and head off for you day. It will come in just as handy in the summer when you can cool your car down before you get in it. The remote will work from up to 800-feet away so you can start your car remotely from almost anywhere.

The remote start for a Jeep Grand Cherokee is easy to install and if you need help, there is a handy installation guide that you can download to walk you through the process. A remote start is one of those handy inventions that once people have one, they wonder how they got along with out it!

Another Way to Make the Jeep Ride Enjoyable

If you love to "road trip" in your Jeep and you have kids along for the ride, one way to keep from hearing the famous,"Are we there yet?" over and over is to have some entertainment along the way.

Playing road games such as counting red Jeeps that pass by or other riding games can wear thin in their entertainment value so you will need something to keep the kiddos interested on a long ride.

A great solution comes in the rear seat video system. The kids can watch their favorite movies and you have the choice of running the audio through the sound system of the vehicle so everyone can hear what's playing or you can let the backseat passengers listen through comfortable wireless headphones. This is especially useful if you have younger children that are napping during the trip. Their older siblings can watch their favorite DVDs without disturbing the little one's sleep.

This handy unit also has a video game adapter so your kids can play Kingdom Hearts or Saints Row to their heart's content. Other features for your unit include the ability to run a video camera through an auxiliary input so you can let you kids shoot and watch video during the trip and if the family enjoys music on the road, it also functions as a CD player.

The player comes complete with a remote control and two sets of wireless headphones. If you need more than two sets, they can be purchased separately.
