CHICAGO (WLS) -- Many modern cars either synch or "clone" your smartphone to a screen in the vehicle which helps keep you safer on the road. But there is a consumer warning about your personal information being left behind.
You wouldn't unlock your phone and give it to a stranger, so the same rule should apply when you turn in a rental or trade in your vehicle, with your phone still connected.
A Glenview man's car display was synched to his phone. He turned his luxury car in at the end of the lease, leaving behind his phone's information: his home address, work address and other places he visited.
