Yes. Here is the relevant introduction: For models that still use traditional keys, if you want to upgrade to a smart key later, it's not as simple as modifying the key itself. A series of modifications to the car's original starting system are required. Currently, upgrading to a smart key one-button start system takes about 60-70 minutes. The technician will first remove the car's decorative panels, locate the position for installing the main unit, use a special bracket to secure the main unit, and connect the main unit's start group and power plug to the car's original lock. During the modification, the technician needs to dismantle the decorative panels under the dashboard to find the plug for the car's original "multi-path controller" and connect the main unit's wires one-to-one with the car's original wiring. Since this involves the car's original circuit, it is recommended to choose the original manufacturer's 4S store for the modification.

How to Tell if an Air Filter is Dirty?

Methods to determine if an air filter is dirty: 1. Observe the engine's operating condition. If the air filter is dirty, the air intake will be insufficient, leading to incomplete fuel combustion, which causes unstable engine operation. When continuously pressing the accelerator pedal, the engine sound becomes muffled, acceleration response is sluggish, and the exhaust is thick and black. 2. Check the surface color of the air filter. If the filter paper remains gray-black after cleaning off the dust on the surface, it indicates that the filter paper can no longer be used and should be replaced immediately. The car's air filter is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter the air entering the engine. During operation, the engine inhales a large amount of air, which contains many dust particles. Without filtration by the air filter, it can accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. If larger particles enter between the piston and cylinder, it can cause cylinder scoring.

Why is the automatic transmission stuck in P gear and unable to move?

Automatic transmission stuck in P gear and unable to move may be caused by: depleted battery power, malfunctioning electronic valve in the P gear position of the gear lever, abnormal brake switch, or improper installation of the gear position switch after transmission repair. Automatic transmission generally refers to the automatic gear-shifting mechanism of a car, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load while driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. Precautions for driving an automatic transmission car include: 1. Start gently and accelerate slowly; when starting, shift into P or N gear, and avoid coasting in neutral; 2. Shift back to N gear when waiting at traffic lights or during brief stops, and shift into P gear when parking; 3. Do not push into P gear while driving; 4. Ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into R gear for reversing.
