Build your own remote starter with a pre-paid mobile phone — Autoblog
If necessity is the mother of all invention it must be really cold where this guy is. This should also be a signal to remote start manufacturers that the distance the remote starts work from may need to be increased. Of course 15 minutes away may be a little excessive.
What if the guy accidentally dialed his remote start and he was no where near his car? Maybe he went on vacation and his vehicle is at the airport waiting for his return. I wonder if he thought of a way to turn it off from his phone as well? I guess if he didn't then he would be calling for fluid delivery after he got back.
That would probably be a number you would want to make sure no one else had as well. There could be some major issues if the number wasn't placed on some kind of no contact list.
Big props to Dave for a little ingenuity though. Definitely a cool idea.
