Top 5 Electronic Gadgets at the 2008 SEMA Show

Mio Technology

Everybody who still has a mid-1980s Pontiac Trans Am must go out and buy this: the Knight Rider GPS by Mio. Even if you aren't awash in '80s bitchin-ness, the prospect of a navigation system with KITT himself (the good one, voiced by William Daniels) giving you turn by turn directions is pretty appealing. You can even program it to use your own name if you get sick of being called "Michael."

Beltronics Radar Detectors

Chronic speeders usually realize that there's a benefit to having a radar detector. Yet with so much of traffic enforcement automated these days thanks to speed cameras and the like, having a detector that knows where those nano-nuisances are located is a breakthrough. That's what Escort has introduced with its Passport 9500ix, with its GPS receiver and detailed description of every speed camera, speed trap and red light camera out there.

If you're a car geek and a computer geek, then Palmer Performance Engineering has just the thing: DashCommand. This software – available for Windows computers or iPhones – allows the user to monitor a vehicle's diagnostics. But it's more than a scan tool -- it also provides a virtual dashboard, dynamometer, skidpad and race-track timer. The touch-screen software makes it easy to use, and it's even skinnable for full customization.
