Connected Cars Offer Something For Everyone to Like By  Ernest B Bray And Worry About. The smart money is betting that sales of smart cars will explode, but concerns about privacy, cybersecurity, average sticker price and embedded vs. smart phone connectivity are also growing as connected cars move from the realm of science fiction to everyday fact. Although most drivers can't afford the $55,000 average cost of today's connected car, many analysts believe prices will fall significantly in the next few years. As a result, Gartner predicts that 250 million connected cars will be rolling on the world's roads by 2020, while a BI Intelligence report forecasts that 75 percent of the 92 million cars shipped globally in 2020 will be built with internet connection hardware. IHS Automotive predicted that in 2015 nearly twenty percent of all cars sold globally will include some connectivity. Despite the higher price, consumers are already sold on the benefit...

The Fine Prints of Vehicle Leasing Contract Rules Zoomed By  Terrence Lewis Vehicle leasing has been a popular drive among the masses since the last two decades. An infinite count of up-and-coming business enterprisers prefer to hold vehicles on lease as opposed to purchasing. While that is a justified shift in the trend, interested lessees are still requested to stop to buckle themselves up with the required knowledge before taking the leap. A Foreword Though terms vary minutely from one dealer to another, and that beyond a shadow of doubt should not be belittled, they more or else have the same sense. The terms are mostly divided into four different heads, namely, the down payment, monthly installments, mileage restrictions and car maintenance. There is also a slot dedicated to contingencies and the fine prints there should not be flipped over. The Upfront Deposit This sum is decided on the current net worth of the chosen vehicle. The upfront cost of th...

Trunk light switch You can order Trunk light switch here How to troubleshoot and fix the trunk light Switch On Camry Disclaimer  Use this guide at your own risk! I assume no responsibility for any damage to your vehicle or personal injury as a result of following this guide. Any comments to improve the procedure will be gratefully received. Time Required It took me 2 hours from start to finish, including the time to take photos and make notes. If I had to do it again, I think I could cut this down to 1 hour or less. Tools Required: Simple hand tools and a multimeter. Let’s Get Started! 1. Remove clear plastic cover from the trunk light. It is held in place by four snaps. It is a bit tough to pull off. If necessary, use a thin flat screw driver to gently pry it off. Note that the cover is not symmetrical. The snaps on one side are spaced further apart than the other side. You will need to pay attention to this when replacing the cover. 2. Pull the light bulb out of the so...

volvo warning 'abs/anti-skid service reqd' volvo v70 2002 is showing the warning 'abs/anti-skid service reqd', also the driver side front wheel makes a screeching sound not unlike worn down pads on discs when making a right or left The vehicle has done 170k miles and I replaced the water pump and belts in March 2011. However, I did not refit the plastic inner wing till Nov of 2011. Could this have anything to do with noises and warnings I am now receiving. I guess I am keen to know if the problems are wheel speed sensors or ABS/ECU issues. Get that car Jacked up and pull the wheel and do a very close inspection. It could be any thing from a rock in the Caliper, to loose wheel bearings to bad brake pads to a bad CV Joint.Inspect for where there is any fresh wear or grind marks on your suspension to check for integrity. Also if you have run over a piece of wire it could be wrapped up int he CV axle. Inspect the brakes/suspension first. If pads an...

Sputters and shakes when accellerating 2001 volvo v70. The car shakes and sputters when accelerating from 0 to 35 mph. Also the abs light and check engine light flashes really fast. There was also a slight metallic/rubber smell. You have an engine misfire....unless you have expertise in this area you need to see your local shop as you will damage your catalytic converter if you continue to drive.  Check the Coil Pack Rubber insulator boots. If you have one that is torn that will cause your problem. The Boots are only $8.50 each through IPD. Sputtering is more than likely a bad ignition coil. If the MIL (check engine light) is flashing it indicates possible damage to the cat converter. LOTS of coil problems on these cars-Replace them all unless you want to keep bringing it back for the next year. ABS is probably a module. Volvo has lots of issues with this. The ABS/Tracs control module has solder joints that go bad in the control module 99% of the time it is th...

Key won't come out of ingnition 1999 Volvo V70 Key wont release from the ignition when the car is off. It is in park. Abs and service light is on. At this point the vehicle starts and drives so Im not sure what I should do. I had the same problem and found that if I made sure the button on the shift lever is out all the way the key would come out. Mine was sticking and had to be pulled out, the spring had become weak on the shift knob. Sound like 2 issues. Ignition key maybe that the cable to the shifter is out of adjustment. If the cable is out of adjustment/broken the key will not come out. ABS is probably a module. Volvo has lots of issues with this. The ABS/Tracs control module has solder joints that go bad in the control module 99% of the time it is the issue. Have the module repaired/replaced. Jiggle the steering wheel while trying to remove the key. Some cars, you have to push in and turn to a full off position before you can remove the key. ...

2004 Volkswagen New Beetle  Where is the transmission code located on the car? The code letters on an automatic transaxle are on a metal plate near where the transaxle butts up against the engine. The stamped transaxle type is in the metal of the housing, away from the engine and closer to the front wheel. Both the code letters and tight become visible by your raising the vehicle up onto jack stands and viewing from underneath.
