Since the invention of the cup holder, and the seat belt, automobile manufacturers come up with new features for every new model of car, that will make our driving experience easier, more fun, more comfortable, and of course safer. Sometimes, the new accessory is something that we really don’t want or need, such as that irritating voice that used to tell us that our door was ajar. However, knowing that your door could possibly fly open at 60 miles per hour on a busy highway is important, so when carmakers changed that voice to a subtle beep or a bell sound, the warning was appreciated...............read more

I believe you can get some books, and things of that nature to help you learn the basics of installing. I just learned it by installing my own system, and helping some friends with theirs.

The turn signal, invented by Florence Lawrence, an actress, who also came up with the idea for a device to indicate when a vehicle's driver had decided to stop, a forefunner of brake lights. She never patented either concept, but then again, neither did my father, who designed a system of childproof door locks in the 1950's. Nonetheless, he bought the first car he saw that had a similar system, a 1963 Corvair, and was thrilled that they kept us imprisoned in the back seat.
I can see that most posters have pretty sexist ideas about women and cars. Some ladies do know more than a little bit about how they operate.
