RX-8 controlled from an iPod Touch

www.geekmyride.org. Quick demo of accessing a web server linked to an Arduino in my RX-8 from an iPod Touch so it can be started, stopped, locked/unlocked, current location shown on Google Maps, and engine parameters displayed. More info at http://www.geekmyride.org/wiki/index.php/Jon's_RX-8, or browse directly to the car itself at http://rx8.oxer.com.au/

Pls answer me truthfully is it really real

[SuperHouseTV]

@Xcel271 Yes it's real. It's been demonstrated at tech conferences and events around Australia, seen "in person" by lots of people. If you follow the link in the video info you'll even see info about how it was done.

i honestly dont want to spend hours ready through your comments but i have a few brief questions

1. do you have separate power supply/battery to run computer? if not, how do you prevent computer from draining battery.

2. what type of CPU and motherboard is it? a server board?

[SuperHouseTV]

@HondaTurboToys I honestly don't want to spend hours answering the same questions over and over again, so all that info is in the Geek My Ride page that's linked from the video info ;-)

@NoTVEntertainment As I explained in the video, the iPod was connecting to my house's WiFi. The car itself has a 3G connection
