When the small red car icon flashes on the car dashboard, it indicates the vehicle's anti-theft system. If the alarm is triggered while parking, the indicator light will flash. Below is an introduction to the car anti-theft system: Introduction to the Car Anti-Theft System: The anti-theft system primarily utilizes existing telephone networks or wireless GSM mobile networks to connect with the owner's phone or mobile device via wired or wireless means, enabling remote anti-theft functionality as an electronic product. Popular anti-theft system products on the market mainly consist of a signal-receiving anti-theft host and a series of alarm detection heads, such as infrared detectors, door contacts, smoke detectors, and infrared barriers. Anti-theft systems can be categorized by usage into car anti-theft alarms, motorcycle/electric vehicle anti-theft alarms, home anti-theft monitoring alarms, and office anti-theft alarms. Methods to Deactivate the Car Anti-Theft System: Remove the alarm fuse. Locate the car's fuse box, identify the alarm fuse, and use professional tools to remove it. Use the car key to open the door. Unlock the driver or passenger door with the key and wait for a few minutes—most alarms will stop automatically. Turn off the alarm directly. Open the car engine hood, then refer to the car's manual to locate the alarm and follow the instructions to deactivate it. The car anti-theft device integrates GSM network digital mobile communication technology and GPS satellite positioning technology, offering not only anti-theft functions but also features like mobile control, SMS positioning, remote monitoring, remote alerts, and full voice-guided operation.

Is Yamaha domestically produced or imported?

Yamaha has both domestically produced and imported models. The differences between domestically produced and imported vehicles are as follows: 1. The engine font is different: The engine number of an imported Yamaha motorcycle has a different font compared to a domestically produced one. Imported engines often start with letters, and there are no asterisks (*) at both ends of the engine number. 2. The frame number and engine number are different: For genuine imported Yamaha motorcycles, the frame number and engine number are unique. Sending the frame number to Yamaha's SMS platform can verify authenticity. For every vehicle Yamaha produces, the engine number and frame number are unique and correspond to each other, and they are uploaded to the national motor vehicle CD-ROM directory. When registering the vehicle at the vehicle management office after purchase, the manufacturer printed on the driving license issued by the office will match that of the genuine vehicle.

Where to Get a Dash Cam Repaired?

If the dash cam is an original factory-installed device, you can have it repaired at an authorized car 4S shop. For aftermarket dash cams, you can go back to the store where you purchased it for repairs. Of course, you can also choose to find a repair shop yourself. Below are the pros and cons of the three methods: 1. Repair at a car 4S shop: This ensures repair quality and comes with warranty service, but the price is slightly higher. If factory repair is required, it may take a long time, which can be quite inconvenient. 2. Repair at the purchase store: If the dash cam is damaged due to quality issues, repairs are usually free at the purchase store, and good merchants might even replace it with a new one for free. However, for dash cams bought online, the process of mailing it back for repair and waiting for its return can be time-consuming, and the repair quality may not be guaranteed. 3. Find a repair shop yourself: As of August 2019, repair shops in the market are of mixed quality. Some shops might attempt repairs even if they lack the expertise, potentially causing secondary damage to the parts. Self-sought repairs are generally cheaper, but the quality cannot be guaranteed.
