Default Owner's manual

I'm thinking of starting a project, and I'm wondering how many owners have their manuals? And would you be interested in a video version of it?

Mom just bought a new car (tried to get her into a UX but...) and she doesn't read manuals, so she had a tough time doing things like programming her radio presets, connecting her phone, etc.

So I was thinking - what about a video version that just has the good parts?

Interesting idea. Now the word "Free" seems like it would be a YouTube video? Is this something which would also be a sticky type of informational info? Meaning others can add to the content, before the final version is released? or is this a one man project? Either way, sounds like a great idea to me.

Very good idea. Sometimes even if I read the manual, I can't understand some parts. A video will surely explain things better, if there will be some pictures/illustrations.

I have a domain name, but would publish the first set on my personal YouTube account for people here to comment. So I can iron out the bugs and get better at it.

I'm looking into wireless lavaliere mics this weekend.
