1. An automobile monitoring system, comprising:

  • a plurality of sensor modules selectively disposed adjacent an automobile subsystem, each one of said plurality of sensor modules detecting characteristics of the automobile subsystem, and generating respective audio and video signals representative of the detected characteristics;

    a plurality of control circuits respectively connected to said plurality of sensor modules;

    means for attaching each sensor module to a respective automobile subsystem to be monitored;

    each said audio signal being characteristically distinct and different from each said video signal;

    means for selectively generating an output signal of said at least one of said audio and said video signals electrically coupled to each said control circuits; and

    means for storing said output signals of said at least one subsystem component from the automobile; and

    means for indicating a characteristic condition of said output signals;

    wherein each one of said plurality of control circuits transmitting corresponding pairs of said first and second signals to said means for selectively generating, and said means for indicating a characteristic condition of a said sub-system and said means for storing data indicating and storing the generated output signals;
