Ok. You bought your dream car. It has the most powerful YET fuel efficient engine on the market. You have to do your part in fighting global warming after all. The car comes with everything youve always wanted. It even comes with bells and whistles you never even knew existed.
By the end of this decade, a third of your car’s value will be in its electronics and advanced technologies. Current tech toys not only makes your car more fun but also safer to drive and lets them go farther on a gallon of fuel, and emit less pollution; all while zipping around corners quickly.
However, did you know that you can even add more technology to the car? Believe it or not but you actually can. There are advances in Bluetooth and navigation aspects. If youre car didnt come with a backup camera factory installed, then dont worry. They now make backup cameras which shoot clearer than your current digital camera. Isnt it exciting?
Here is a list put together from the people at Car and Driver and PC World of the newest and best add-on tech accessories being sold for your car. While some of these may not be cheap, they are definitely fun.
Traffic Info: Garmin Nvi 680 The best is never the cheapest. These shirt-pocket devices are the Nvi 680. They come with a 4.3-inch quarter VGA (QVGA, or 320-by-240) LCD screen. You can connect it to your car’s power and it receives real-time traffic reports, giving you a better idea of roads to avoid.
Add-On: HD Radio Directed Electronics Car Connect DMHD1000 – HD Radio can triple the radio broadcasts you receive. One frequency will carry the digital station while two others are multi-cast over the same frequency. The Car Connect HD tuner connects to any existing radio via the antenna for no loss of signal quality. All you need to do is mount a small module on the dash, then tune your radio to an unused FM station, or use the auxiliary input.
Car Stereo: Sony MEX-BT5000 – For a unique way to experience Bluetooth in your car, you need to replace your old stereo with one that integrates the latest in Bluetooth technology. The MEX-BT5000 has an AM/FM receiver, CD player, 24-bit DAC, and more. This Bluetooth isn’t just for phone calls. Using a device supporting A2DP (the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), you can stream music off devices, and there are plug-in modules for iPods and satellite radio.
Cell-Phone Navigator: LG 9900 ENV It seems every day portable navigators shrink even smaller and smaller. Theyre so tiny; its difficult to remember to take them with you. Consider this like a cell phone with navigation built-in, such as the LG 9900 enV running VZ Navigator software from Verizon and Networks in Motion. Place messaging lets you send a “GPS thumbtack” to someone else’s phone, setting your location as the destination.
GPS Navigation: Alpine PMD-B100 Blackbird This one has it all. Here’s a navigation device you can use three ways: Try it as a battery-operated walkabout unit with a 3.6-inch color screen, as a dashboard-mounted personal navigation aid, or add a $200 docking module to it which hides the Blackbird under your seat and connects to an Alpine AV head unit with a big LCD. This last option gives you a system nearly as good as what you’d get built into a new car.
Cell-Phone Adapter: Parrot CK3100 LCD – Cell phones can be distracting and often illegal when held in your hand. If youre not a fan of an earpiece dangling as you drive, get a dash-mounted Bluetooth adapter such as Parrot’s, which connects to most car stereos or a separate speaker. Only a small display stays visible. There is also voice recognition which lets you dial by name.

The inspection to the automotive fault is largely depend on the auto diagnostic tools such as the x431 diagun and GM MDI which have function of read the car trouble codes, clear trouble code and data stream, component testing, maintenance light reset, read the computer version, basic settings and matching adjustment. Some automotive fault diagnostic computer such as the gm tech2 and autocom cdp could also provide value-added services such as the long-distance diagnosis for car fault, vehicle maintenance data, fault code table, management of customer files, business functions and so on. From these descriptions, we could find that the manufacture for the auto diagnostic tools such as the GO2OBD which is a brand for reliable auto maintenance devices in China for 5 years has paid more attention to the function varieties of the auto diagnostic tools such as the autel maxiscan and tacho pro.
The knowledge from the website http://www.go2obd.com/ would teach us that there are two main types of automotive fault diagnostic computer and automobile link mode which are wired and wireless. The Wired type is that the people connect the diagnostic computer and automotive diagnostic seat by the diagnostic connector and link lines. The wireless type has eliminating the need for the middle of the link line. The wireless transmitter device connected to the diagnostic socket location and the diagnostic computer connect to receive the device. As we all know, the usual wireless device is the Bluetooth device.
According to the manufacturer’s configuration and measurement models, the automotive fault diagnostic computer such as the carprog and bmw icom could be divided into three types which are dedicated, comprehensive and original instrument. The dedicated automotive fault diagnostic computer only work for the set model. The original diagnostic computer can only operate for their own models from the automobile factory. The majority of the repairers in the repairing market use the integrated automotive fault diagnostic computer such as the GO2OBD and x431. And this kind of testing equipment is generally produced by the professional fault diagnosis computer enterprise.
In order to pass the Automotive Diagnosis seat to have communication with car ECU host computer, automotive fault diagnostic computer such as the and x431 diagun must follow the relevant standards and protocols such as OBD. From the information of the website of GO2OBD, we could know more about that the OBD is the most traditional and efficiency standard and system for the auto diagnostic tools such as the GO2OBD and x431 diagun. Most of the auto diagnostic tools in our market today are all based on the OBD system and standard.

There are not too many feelings as unnerving as when you lose your car keys. Most people have experienced that at one time or another but in the worst case scenario is that it is rather easy to remedy. People losing their car keys over all the past years have necessitated more and more locksmiths being certified at automotive locksmith as well. Locksmith in the Chicago area is a certified automotive locksmith who can help you out when you encounter a situation like this.
In addition to replacing your lost car keys, locksmiths can also help you if it is becoming difficult to turn your key in the ignition. Experienced locksmiths can assist you and replace the following types of car keys:
o Electronic and Transponder Keys
o High Security
o Key Duplication & Replacement
o Laser-Cut Keys
o Transponder keys
The majority of the newer model vehicles typically feature entry and ignition keys that have a computer chip in them and can handle replacement of those as well. Locksmiths give, reliable, and trusted services in the Chicago area and with the state-of-the-art computerized equipment, can easily replace your vehicle keys and you have you back on the road efficiently and effortlessly so you don’t have to keep stressing.
Steps You Should Take Once A Locksmith has Replaced Your Keys
Loosing your car keys oftentimes create uneasy feelings of desperation and helplessness. Although this is a hassle to deal with, just remember that Chicago locksmith can help you in this situation. However, we recommend that you consider the following steps to take once your keys have been replaced and you are back on the road:
Try to retrace all your steps from the past few days – start by asking yourself when the last time was that you had your car keys. Sometimes this can help you pinpoint where you may have lost them. You may have already searched through your home and through all of your personal items, but it is always a good idea to try to remember where you last had your car keys. The bottom line here is that you still want to locate those keys, especially if you have other important keys on the key chain or key ring.
Contact A Locksmith immediately – replacing those car keys might be a bit costly, especially if they are one of the types listed in the first section above. So be prepared. Calling emergency key service will benefit you in that you will know what it is going to cost you prior to us arriving on the scene to help solve your dilemma.
Contact the automobile dealership – realize and understand that some people might be skeptical of dealing with an automotive locksmith, regardless of them being trained and certified at replacing vehicle entry and ignition. If this is the case and you are not sure about letting us help you, you should contact the automobile dealership as soon as possible and talk with someone who is knowledgeable in this area.
Getting your vehicle to the dealership – once you have decided on taking the vehicle to the dealership, you will be confronted with getting it towed there – which creates another expense for you. Tow truck services are expensive, and if you don’t have that coverage with your insurance policy, you could be forking out big bucks. The bottom line is that contacting a locksmith in Chicago will save you a lot of unnecessary expense. It will cost you considerably more to go through the dealership and you will have the towing expenses on top of that. Save your money and contact us whenever you find yourself in a situation where you have lost your car keys.

History PTFE was accidentally invented by Roy Plunkett of Kinetic Chemicals in 1938. While Plunkett was attempting to make a new CFC refrigerant, the perfluorethylene polymerized in its pressurized storage container, with the iron from the inside of the container acting as a catalyst. Kinetic Chemicals patented it in 1941 and registered the Teflon trademark in 1945. By 1950, DuPont had acquired interest in Kinetic Chemicals and was producing over a million pounds (450 tons) of Teflon per year in Parkersburg, West Virginia. In 1954, French engineer Marc Grgoire created the first pan coated with Teflon non-stick resin under the brand name of Tefal after his wife urged him to try the material he had been using on fishing tackle on her cooking pans. In the United States, Kansas City, Missouri resident Marion A. Trozzolo, who had been using the substance on scientific utensils, marketed the first US-made Teflon coated frying pan, “The Happy Pan,” in 1961. An early advanced use was in the Manhattan Project as a material to coat valves and seals in the pipes holding highly reactive uranium hexafluoride in the vast uranium enrichment plant at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, when it was known as K-25. Properties PTFE is often used to coat non-stick frying pans as it is hydrophobic and possesses fairly high heat resistance. PTFE is a white solid at room temperature, with a density of about 2.2 g/cm3. According to DuPont its melting point is 327C (621F), but its properties degrade above 260C (500F). PTFE gains its properties from the aggregate effect of carbon-fluorine bonds, as do all fluorocarbons. The coefficient of friction of plastics is usually measured against polished steel. PTFE’s coefficient of friction is 0.1 or less, which is the second lowest of any known solid material (diamond-like carbon being the first). PTFE’s resistance to van der Waals forces means that it is the only known surface to which a gecko cannot stick. PTFE has excellent dielectric properties. This is especially true at high radio frequencies, making it suitable for use as an insulator in cables and connector assemblies and as a material for printed circuit boards used at microwave frequencies. Combined with its high melting temperature, this makes it the material of choice as a high-performance substitute for the weaker and lower melting point polyethylene that is commonly used in low-cost applications. Its extremely high bulk resistivity makes it an ideal material for fabricating long life electrets, useful devices that are the electrostatic analogues of magnets. Because of its chemical inertness, PTFE cannot be cross-linked like an elastomer. Therefore it has no “memory,” and is subject to creep, also known as “cold flow” and “compression set”. A little bit of creep allows PTFE seals to conform to mating surfaces better than most other plastic seals. Too much creep, however, and the seal can be compromised. Compounding fillers control unwanted creep and improve wear, friction, and other properties. Sometimes metal springs apply continuous force to PTFE seals to give good contact, while permitting some creep. Due to its low friction, it is used for applications where sliding action of parts is needed: plain bearings, gears, slide plates, etc. In these applications it performs significantly better than nylon and acetal; it is comparable to ultra high-molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), although UHMWPE is more resistant to wear than Teflon. For these applications, versions of Teflon with mineral oil or molybdenum disulfide embedded as additional lubricants in its matrix are being manufactured.
