When I think of "bells and whistles" your googled answer is certainly what I think of : "the things that something, especially a device or machine, has or does that are not necessary but that make it more exciting or interesting". A vehicle with navigation, USB outlets, tinted glass, sun roof, CD player etc., many things we use regularly, like computers, printers, software programs, some are basic and cost much less, but the extra "bells and whistles" is what we want if we can afford them.
