I believe vehicle media refers to the in-car multimedia system, which includes all the entertainment and information devices in a car, such as the central control screen, audio system, navigation, and Bluetooth functionality. As an enthusiast who frequently modifies car electronics, I've installed wireless CarPlay, allowing my phone to automatically connect and play music or display maps as soon as I get in the car. This system consists of hardware like the main processor, display, and speakers, as well as the software layer, such as the vehicle's operating system. To maintain it properly, avoid using heavy apps on bumpy roads to prevent freezing, and regularly clearing the system cache can also help. Nowadays, new cars come with built-in smart features like voice control for air conditioning and lights, but I prefer DIY upgrades with low-cost solutions—saving money while adding a personal touch.

What is ETC on highways?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC toll collection method: Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, using software networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; Postal credit card application form, which is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS slip to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated postal outlets, with no additional charges; Must be between 18 and 60 years old; Must own a vehicle in personal name. Below are precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rear windshield angle, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable, requiring a visit to an ETC service point for unlocking. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front; The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 kilometers per hour. Excessive speed may prevent reading vehicle device information, leading to failed toll deduction; When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause failed toll deduction.

What are the symptoms of a damaged transmission valve body?

Symptoms of a damaged transmission valve body: If the transmission valve body is damaged, symptoms may include the vehicle not moving when shifted into D gear, or the inability to engage certain forward gears. The valve body serves as the shift control system of an automatic transmission. Unlike manual transmissions, automatic transmissions do not require manual gear shifting. They are equipped with a computer that collects data from various sensors and controls gear shifts through actuators, with the valve body being the key actuator. The valve body can be seen once the transmission oil pan is removed. It is a highly precise component and the core part of an automatic transmission. To prevent damage, it is crucial to change the transmission fluid regularly during routine vehicle use, as most valve body failures are caused by delayed transmission fluid changes.

What to Do When the Windshield Wipers Won't Turn On?

Solutions for windshield wipers not turning on: 1. Check the wiper blades: If you usually neglect the maintenance of the car's wiper blades, you might find them severely damaged during rainy days and unable to function properly. Simply replace them with a new set of wiper blades in time. 2. Check the wiper motor: Open the car hood to locate the wiper motor. You can touch the motor with your hand; if it feels scalding hot, it indicates an internal short circuit. Replacing the motor will solve the issue. 3. Check the wiper linkage: The wiper linkage has many connection points. If any of these points malfunction, the wipers won't work properly. Observe the wiper's operation to determine if the linkage is faulty. 4. Check the wiper fuse: To protect the car's wiring, each electrical device is equipped with a fuse. If the wipers stop working, check if the wiper fuse is blown. You can replace the blown fuse with a spare one from the car.
