Extremely Easy Manual Search

By Doron Rosenblum I just built something for us iM5/iM6 owners

I got tired of scrolling through a 365-page manual every time I needed to figure something out in the car. So I built a free web app that lets you just ask questions and get clear, step-by-step answers - with the actual diagrams from the manual.

What it does:

• Ask anything about the car in plain English - "How do I turn on the fog lights?", "What does this warning light mean?"
• Shows you the relevant diagrams and images from the manual, not just text
• Voice input - ask your question without typing (great when you're in the car)
• Snap a photo of a button or warning light and ask "what's this?"
• If you can't find what you need in the manual, hit "Search Online" and the app will look it up on the web for you

Try it here: iM5 Assistant

It's free, no login needed, works on any phone or computer.
I built this for myself but figured other owners could use it too. Would love to hear what you think! Try asking it a question and let me know if the answer was helpful. Any feedback, feature requests, or ideas for improvement are welcome.

What device were you using, it’s not working on my iPad but I might try on my windows laptop ( it might be a file config issue). I’ll let you know if it works on windows
