We managed to drive our VWs for decades without any smart phone access whatsoever. And we actually got to our destination, too! And if we ran out of gas, we WALKED to the next station because we actually knew where it was instead of relying on an electronic device to tell us so. I betcha there is some sort of APP that could link to your modern car's computer and remind you via your smart phone that your car is running low on gas. A virtual gas gauge on your phone... There is probably some kind of APP to tell you that maybe it is time to go to the bathroom as well...

I'd like to see you wire your smart phone into your VW's gas tank. That might introduce some new language into your garage!

On some vehicles, the fuel level sender is connected to the ECM and is available as a data read out when scanning. I am sure this data can be linked to your phone if someone wants to actually program that. And NO, I am still one of the last remaining holdouts when it comes to cell phones, smart or otherwise...

If Russ had a cell, imagine how many call he would get from people stranded on the side of the road. I know there were a few occasion when I would have called him.
