Manufacturers incorporate many ergonomic features in the design of cars, but further Car Conversions will be needed for drivers with mobility needs. Radio Remotes are a device that attaches to the steering wheel with a ball or lollipop grip so the driver can use functions like indicators, lights, and wipers without taking a hand off the steering wheel.
They work a bit like a TV remote with multiple functions and can be fitted to most cars. Advice can be given by the installer on the best device for the driver’s needs.
PB Conversions provide a complete range of Car Adaptions and servicing. These range from basics for mobility cars to lifts and hoists, and remote systems.
Let’s take a look at potential adaptions and functions of radio remotes and how installing a them in your car could help you increase your confidence when driving.
Radio remotes, what are they? How are they fitted? And will it make car mobility easier for me?
Radio remotes are easily fitted to the steering wheel, either with a ball or lollipop grip, and have a number of different functions matched to the driver’s needs. The remotes are really good for drivers who have difficulty driving with two hands, or with only one hand.
With suitable car adaptions, radio remotes give a driver with hand mobility issues a greater access to use the controls in the car and make driving easier and safer.
These are multi-functional devices with 7 to 13 functions, which can be adapted to each driver’s needs, increasing freedom on the roads. When fitted, simple actions for a driver, such as using indicators, windscreen wipers and headlights can be done without taking a hand off the steering wheel.
There are also plans to add more features to radio remotes, meaning that cars will have summoning functionality, offering the futuristic option to call your car out of your garage.
Radio Remotes give drivers with mobility issues a range of options for practical Car Adaptions. This creates easier and more comfortable options for mobility driving. These accessible features improve the driving experience and give confidence back to those with lowered mobility.
PB Conversions offer a complete range of adaptions and servicing, based in Bedfordshire, and covering surrounding areas such as Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire.

Thank you so much for all your advice, help and very professional job on adapting our car. Without your advice I would never have known to apply for a grant. You were excellent, thank again.
Due to my husband's condition we need a car with adaptions, we were advised by his paraplegic group to visit and this place is the best. Felt so relaxed talking about what we needed, all the staff were so friendly and so well informed, going above and beyond, especially Paul Berridge. I fully recommend this business. Honest and reliable. Thank you.

I’ve been using PB Conversions for over 30 years and cannot fault their care and attention to detail with every adaptation I’ve needed. And if something isn’t quite right they quickly sort it. Truly professional and innovative service every time
I have used PB on 2 occasions and 2 different cars. I have found their staff efficient, caring and most pleasant to deal with. Their work on my vehicles has been completed on schedule, flawlessly, with no issues arising after 2 + years use
Very good work and customer service
As always a professional and with care job
Good and prompt adaptions fitted. Support offered and flexible. All staff were helpful and communicated
If you’re looking for 5⭐️ customer service and quality workmanship look no further. I was kept in the picture all the way through the build with photos and telephone calls. A date was set for completion and they delivered on that exact day. It was refreshing to deal with such a professional company. The personal emails from your staff made it a pleasurable experience which is hard to find these day!
Really speedy and flexible response from PBC to an emergency situation requiring hand controls being fitted to a new vehicle. I much appreciated their support
Always excellent service from PB conversions. They had fantastic knowledge of the adaption options available and whether they would fit
Friendly, first class, prompt and efficient service at a very competitive price. Would recommend the company to all.
