Here in my car I feel safest of all

Not that *ahem* my husband would ever be guilty of ignoring routine car maintenance *cough, cough*...excuse me, where was I...oh yeah! Today's "Call For Help" is going to feature a new GPS device by AAA that will hook up to your car's diagnostic system.

"Remote diagnostics allows you to know the condition of certain systems in your car while your car is still on the road: at home, at work, before a trip, before it becomes a major -- and expensive or dangerous -- problem." Some of the key features include:

Early notice of potential maintenance issues: AAA will send you a Trouble Code alert via email, cellular device, or pager. In real time, you'll know the condition of your emissions and fuel systems, battery voltage level, and other key systems so you can proactively take care of them.
Remote door unlock: Ever lock your keys in your car? Nearly one out of five people do every year. With a simple phone call and your security code, AAA will unlock your vehicle for you and you can be on your way in just minutes.
Automatic smog check: As long as your car is in compliance, you never have to go in or pay for a smog check again. The California Air Resources Board has approved this device to evaluate your emissions data and confirm that you are in compliance.

You can check all of this out, and more, at the Call For Help site!
