Proposed bill aims to set minimum auto sound levels {Engadget}
Apr 10th 2008 4:43PM The answer was already given. A notification system the disabled person could carry, provided free of charge. Less? expensive than retrofitting or forcing new sound level regulations onto manufacturers... have them foot the bill for a few devices or have the disabled buy them or provide a discount.
Most new cars already carry or will be carrying the equipment to provide this system... Just develop a carry size device that detects the TPMS signals from the car (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), yes range might be an issue... but "develop" is the key word :p
The cost of providing devices to the few, instead of hobbling/modifying the many should be much less. The responsibility of the disabled person to not walk out into oncoming traffic is their own... give them the means to react to the world around them instead of forcing the world around them to react... to them.

Feb 10th 2007 11:31AM What a joke... Just goto an autozone/pepboys etc... and they do it for FREE. I've never understood why people payed 80bucks or more at a dealership to get this done. I guess its as simple as... stupid people are the easiest to make money off of :p

DIY electric car heater {Hack a Day}
Nov 29th 2006 8:49AM Honestly... his car should heat up within 5 minutes. Is it worth the extra current draw/fire risk from this? I seriously doubt it.
If the car isn't heating up... fix it :p
(I have that year/make/model car.... it heats up quite quickly and has a great heating system)
