Black Friday 2023 brought incredible deals on the most popular product categories, including Android Auto adapters, CarPlay dongles, GPS navigators, and dash cams. Even the AirTag received a massive price cut, and we all know that Apple doesn't typically discount its products.
With this year's Black Friday already in the rear mirror, it's time to check our pockets for spare change and continue the shopping frenzy with awesome Cyber Monday deals.

I created a list of the best deals under $100, so if you haven't already ordered an Android Auto or a CarPlay adapter, you now get an extra chance to do it.

Android Auto and CarPlay adapters

Everybody likes Android Auto wireless adapters, and it's no wonder why. They let drivers get rid of the cables, turning a wired connection into wireless using a simple approach.

Motorola's MA1 is one of the top models on the market. It connects to the USB port of the vehicle and the mobile device via Bluetooth, playing the role of a middleman to run Android Auto wirelessly. The device is 28% off this Cyber Monday, which can be yours for $64.99.

If you don't want to spend that much on a wireless adapter, you can go for DriveLink's model. However, this device doesn't offer the same reliability levels, so you should expect random disconnects. The product received a 17% discount, costing $33.25 instead of the regular $39.99.

If your car supports Android Auto and CarPlay and you own mobile devices from both worlds, CarlinKit 5.0 is the right choice. It supports both platforms and comes with a 45% Cyber Monday discount, costing only $68.75.

Ottocast offers a similar device with Android Auto and CarPlay support, but despite the 31% discount, it's still more expensive than CarlinKit. You can have it for $89.95, down from $129.95.

Eventually, Ottocast also offers the U2Air, which comes with CarPlay support and a $69.95 price tag. It's a 36% discount, as the device typically costs $109.95.

Dash cams

Most people searching for a dash cam want top video quality, mainly because they expect the license plates to be easily readable in their recordings.

VIOFO A119 Mini 2 offers such capabilities, though it struggles during nighttime. The device provides good video quality and a small form factor, and it can be yours as part of the Cyber Monday sale with a 29% discount. It costs $98.98, down from $139.99.

Garmin also offers a small camera. The Dash Cam Mini 2 offers good value for the money, including 1080p video quality and support for monitoring the vehicle when you're away, is on sale with a 23% discount, costing just $99.99.

70mai, the maker of several popular budget-friendly dash cams, offers significant price cuts for two models. The M300 is 44% off, promising parking monitoring and 2304x1296px recordings for just $33.59.

The A500S is a more expensive alternative with 1944P support, a Sony sensor, built-in Wi-Fi, and a 2-inch display. It joined the Cyber Monday party with a 36% discount, so you can get it today for $50.99.

Vantrue, whose products typically sell for a premium, made it to my shortlist with a 33% price cut for the E1. The 2.8K Wi-Fi dash cam sports night vision support, parking monitoring, voice control, and other goodies at just $99.98. When the Cyber Monday sale ends, the device will return to its typical $149.99 price tag.

Car chargers and cables

The debut of the iPhone 15 taught us that choosing the right mobile phone cable is critical because, otherwise, you could spend a thousand bucks on a smartphone without being able to connect it to your vehicle.

Anker sells a 36W car charger with a 40% discount. It includes two ports and carries a $11.99 price tag, down from the regular $19.9. If you want upgraded speeds, the 49.5W PowerDrive model is 34% off today, costing $19.99.

Belkin discounted the BoostCharge 30W charger by 20%, so the device no longer costs $19.99 but $15.99. It offers a single USB-C connector but promises high charging speeds for any connected device.

Spigen wants a slice of the Cyber Monday pizza, too, so it joined the discount party with a 27% price cut for its 75W dual-USB charger. The device should be fast enough to charge your MacBook, and thanks to a 27% discount, it's available for $23.99 today. The USB-C charger with an integrated Lightning cable is perfect for those who haven't yet upgraded to the iPhone 15, sporting a massive 60% discount. It's available for just $17.99 today instead of $44.99.

USB-C cables have become more popular following the debut of the iPhone 15, so Anker has three models on sale this Cyber Monday. The USB-C to USB-C braided cable is 20% off and costs only $15.19. It's an excellent choice to charge your iPhone 15 with the original charger or run CarPlay if the vehicle comes with USB-C.

If the car is fitted with USB-A, Anker has got you covered, too. The company offers two USB-A to USB-C cables at just $9.99, down 29% for this Cyber Monday. And last but not least, you can get the super-fast Powerline II USB-A to USB-C cable, which promises 10000 Mbps speeds, for $17.99, down 28% from $25.

Belkin offers a 20% discount for the BoostCharge USB-C to USB-C cable, which promises speeds of up to 200W. The cable is two meters long and 20% cheaper, so you can get it today for $15.99.

As a bonus, you can also get Apple's AirTag with a massive discount today. The device lets car owners track their vehicles if they get stolen, connecting to nearby iPhones to broadcast its location. A single unit is 17% off today, costing $23.99, while a 4-pack can be yours for $79.99, down 19%.

LEGO sets

The holiday season is upon us, so it's time to let the playful soul inside you have some fun. LEGO offers great discounts for petrol heads, and the NASCAR Camaro ZL1 is living proof. The 672-piece Lego Technic set costs $39.99 today, down 20% from its regular price.

If you're a Dodge guy, Fast & Furious Dom's Dodge Charger also received a 20% discount. You'll spend more time building the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, as the set includes 1,077 pieces. You'll also have to spend more, as it costs $95.99.

Eventually, you can build Batman's Batmobile with this Lego Technic set that includes 1,360 pieces. The 20% discount means you can get it for $79.99 instead of the regular $99.99 price tag.
