Five Items You Can Buy the Auto Enthusiast on Your Gift List

The holidays are nearly here, so chances are you've already done quite a bit of shopping for those friends and family members who made your "nice" list. Some loved ones are easier to shop for than others, though, because their passions may be a little outside of your personal expertise. After all, how do you surprise them with something they'll love when you don't know the first thing about their hobby? If your first impulse was to get online and look for advice, we've got two pieces of great news for you: that was a smart idea, and if you're shopping for a car lover you've come to the right place! We talked to our technicians to find out the hottest electronics gift ideas for the season, and after extensive debate, narrowed it down to the following five.

At the top of the list was the VIPER 5806V 2-Way LED Remote Start + Security System With Keyless Entry. This remote starter allows the lucky recipient to start their car from up to a mile away, getting it warmed up on freezing winter mornings or cooled down on blistering summer afternoons. Best of all, this package includes a state-of-the-art new security system, with installation included in the bargain.

Next up is a Window Tint Level 4 with Lifetime Warranty. We could go on and on about the color stable nanotechnology and all the other reasons why this is one of the best tints for your buck, but suffice to say that any auto enthusiast will love it. You can even get it installed in a single day, meaning if you want to surprise that special someone you can borrow their car for the day—if they'll let you!

Third on our list is the Kenwood DNX573S In-Dash Touchscreen DVD Receiver with Navigation. Far from simply offering GPS navigation, this in-dash system does anything and everything one could possibly imagine: it plays DVDs and CDs. It features a built-in amp, HD radio tuner, and bluetooth. It's ready to synch with Android and Apple devices right out of the box. Did we mention it does everything?

If car auto gift ideas seem more in your intended's wheelhouse, we have a pair of can't-go-wrong options. The first of these is a JL Audio JX250/1 Monoblock Class A/B Car Subwoofer Amplifier. Unlike most amps, this box is designed with subwoofers in mind, so if your loved one loves that bass this is the only amp for them.

Speaking of amps, our last-but-not-least gift idea is a PIONEER TS-SW2502S4 10-Inch, 1,200 Watt Shallow-Mount Subwoofer. This subwoofer doesn't just pack serious power, it's also designed to fit into smaller spaces than your average sub, making it the perfect choice for a car audio fanatic with a compact ride.
