The satellite radio receiver rings in at number one. People love having satellite radio. There are several reasons why. Satellite radio receivers have really dropped in price and are very affordable these days. The lower end receivers offer plenty of nifty features and consumers are able to find them nearly everywhere for fewer than a hundred dollars. Another plus side to these satellite radios is that the monthly service is fairly cheap, typically running a subscriber around ten to twelve dollars per month for hundreds of commercial free radio channels; no more flipping through the local channels trying to find something good to listen to.

A custom CD player sits at number two. Most cars come with a shoddy stock CD player that is limited in features and in functionality. This is why many people opt instead to upgrade their CD player to something better. Like CD players that have more programmable buttons, a removable face and are MP3 and Ipod compatible. Of the most common add ons you will see in any car, the custom CD player easily ranks at number two on the list.

High end, surround sound speakers are number three. Many people dislike the low quality sound that they get from the stock car stereo speakers. The truth be known, upgrading speakers to higher quality ones is not that pricey in the long run. Some people like custom speakers because they can add a bass subwoofer to the system with a separate power amp and really rock out to thudding tunes. Others simply want to enhance the quality of the music they are listening to when they drive around, easily making the custom stereo speaker system number three on this list.

Hands free cellular phone kit is easily number four. Most states are working on passing laws that make it illegal to talk on your hand held mobile phone while driving. In turn, many consumers already realize that this can be real safety issues, which is why many people have chosen to install a hands free cellular phone kit in their vehicle. There are a wide variety of these kits currently on the market, and many do not require any tools or drilling, or technical skills to install.

DVD player and mini screen is pricey but still number five. How many cars have you seen driving around that have custom screens in them? This is a very popular add on for many consumers. Some like to add a custom DVD player and screen to keep their children entertained while they drive. Others like to add them just to spice up the look of their cars. Some car manufacturers are already making cars, trucks and vans that come equipped with DVD players and screens, directly from the factory, as an added amenity that encourages consumers to purchase their vehicles.
