Cars across the board are being sold with more and more smart capabilities but if you can't afford to upgrade your current vehicle to take advantage of these new features, Logitech has a solution.
The Lausanne-based firm has launched its ZeroTouch gadget in the UK which promises to add smart features to any car using just an air vent.
When connected to an Android phone, the smart car mount responds to gestures, voice commands and can even help you use individual apps as you drive.

ZeroTouch comes in two models. The ZeroTouch Air Vent attaches to any vent on a dashboard, while ZeroTouch Dashboard can be attached to your windscreen.
When you connect your phone to the magnetised ZeroTouch it triggers Logitech's voice-controlled app which lets you respond to incoming texts, and operate certain apps – including Spotify, Waze and Google Maps - hands-free.
It can also be used to make calls, dictate and send text messages, and share your location without touching your phone.
"New car owners can experience the luxury of a connected car, but there are still tens of millions of older cars on the road," said Bracken Darrell, Logitech president and chief executive officer.

The product is already available in the US. The ZeroTouch Air Vent and ZeroTouch Dashboard are available in the UK from September 7, exclusively from Carphone Warehouse, priced at £49.99 and £59.99 respectively.
ZeroTouch is compatible with Android smartphones running Android OS 4.4 or later, and requires an active Bluetooth connection.
