    Look for a stereo plug aux-in port on the car’s stereo. You can get a Bluetooth receiver that will plug into that if there’s no usb input built into the car. This will let you listen to music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc from your phone using your car speakers.

    This also works with turn by turn navigation prompts that come from the phone.

    Just remember to keep your phone plugged into a charger on your trip so that using it this way doesn’t drain the battery.





  • If you have an iPhone, you can get an Apple Watch and set it up using the other person’s phone. The health app will tell you what the person’s heart rate is. It will also do sleep tracking and check blood oxygen levels. It will also notify you if the person falls. It can also be used to contact 911 if it is in range of your phone, or if you buy the cellular version and add it to your cell phone plan.

    If you live near an Apple store, stop in and ask about it. The trick will be to set up/link your spouses watch with your iPhone so you can continuously monitor the other person.
