Jons rx8 remote controlled from an iPhone

[nolan050500]

Jon, can you come over and play at my house? I have cars that could use a good geek-ing. A new remote alone for my rx8 costs $250+ and this is SO much more. Mazda are you watching? Can we please get this functionality in the rx9????

[terkel1995]

Now people can hack your car;)

[ShanesAutos]

Absolue unnecessary waste of money is what this is.

[tin2k1]

houses where multiple people use the car, to check who has it and if it's being used by someone you dont want it be (eg no user currently paired, who has my car???). Second thing I'm not sure if it could be done, but how about a kill function which disables ignition (even with the key) to stop it being used if its stolen? Last thing, any way of connecting it to the windows to remotely open them to cool the car before you get in? :)

[tin2k1]

I know this is an old video and this may have already been done/you may not have the car anymore, but can I suggest a couple of things? First, how about have any devices you carry (such as mobile phone) auto pair up to the network when your close. You could then setup user's on the network and assign the MAC address of the device to an individual user. You could then use this info to display a section on the web app showing "Person(s) Currently in the car". This could be really useful for.......

nice set up wish it was in mine lol

[UgoIgo]

I can't deny what this is now doing and fuzzing up my adrenaline watching this...WoW!!! I need such an OBD too and whats great is starting the car up, let the airco /heater pre-do in advance B4 stepping into it. I wonder if there's a override interface considered to dead-stop all functions in the event of ANY emergency deemed necessary? TQ for sharing, will follow up & if necessary, drive across pond for serious guidance to install...cheersch mate..:))

[cosmin519]

interesting... but I prefer the key.. it's faster and with a car like that it's a pleasure..

[hellohuy]

@cosmin519 imagine its 50degrees outside, you can just turn on the engine and aircon and then step into the car rather then going to do it manualy and waiting

[TheNorweigans]

Its an Ipod not Iphone....

[nnavigators]

This is excellent, Can i find something like that in the market?

[valld95]

this is awesome

[iwannakrump]

creative , you the real Man , that a great job seriously im so impresed . and sorry for my shitty english

[jmartich1]

@ MrWOW, Umm noticed he said high gain 3g ant (More than likely GSM Band), do you know the interference that would've caused with a wireless mic. People need to learn their shizzle before they run their fingers along the keyboard.

[Driv3th3hiv3]

@jmartich1 You idiot

It wouldnt do anything

[Driv3th3hiv3]

@jmartich1

Do you realise what we live in?

World of wireless everything?

There are so many open frequncies right now that it isnt funny

Yet nothing interferes

Every heard of channeling? RF Encryption? No?

[josephTposton]

that look like a ipod cuz it got the black thing on the back l0l

[MrWOW4u]

Lol ... dude can geek his ride but cant find a wireless mic. :)

[Muffinman012]

@MrWOW4u was probably given to him by the GeekMyRide people. And a microphone still has its presence in news reporting. It's a part of the business.

[somekiwidude]

if you can drive it by remote wouldnt it be daingerous because of the slight delay like for turning or can you not drive the car

[elDreDas]

dude why dont you do some workout?

[mrcitic8788]

question

do you have to pay for the 3G? im considering a mod to wifi my car and an curious...

[PracticalArduino]

Yes, I'm on a measly 1GB plan with Three but that seems to be adequate for occasional access. A lot of the time I'm just SSHd into it anyway, so it's tiny bits of text traffic dribbling through. Latency to the car can be annoying though.

[Antecedently]

You are seriously my hero...!

[Kdlifeisgreat]

Do u have anything else to do with ur town??? lame as ever

[Memphis35]

SO if i hack your car, i can find it and stealz it from u

[cnawan]

You're just asking for someone to hack your car via the internet and stop the engine when you're driving down the road. :/

[KIR3NN]

rofl.

nice rx-8 :D

[JeremyVisser]

You need a boom mike. :)

[SuperHouseTV]

Much better than the dodgy video I did myself. Bob's editing makes this look really cool.

[monsterpen15]

Great editing!
