hardware for controlling your car via phone

[ldsff]

Using little more than book knowledge, experience from previous projects, and a healthy shot of elbow grease, a Kenyan kid has constructed a nifty (and perhaps just a little scary) box that attaches to your car to provide a number of unique remote-control features that you're not going to find on your average OnStar setup. The flagship function seems to be the real-time lockout, which can call you as the car is being started; only if you confirm that it's not some baddie trying to jack your ride will the ignition request be granted. That's not all, though -- it'll also let you dial into the car and listen in on any conversations going on within.

Wow very interesting. And no prior training with electronics?? I can see someone stealing his idea if he hasn't patented it. The listening in thing would be the best. You let your children borrow the car for a date or something and they are late. You can listen in to see what they're up to.
