I think you have to pay for that service as well though. I looked into it at a frys the other day when i saw it and it was a pricey system and also for the app on the phone.

Definitely is a cool app, an if you have the money to spend on it would be worth it. Just as long as you keep a remote on your keychain so if you lose your phone or the battery dies you can still get in your truck.

That has to be the coolest thing I have seen in alarms to this day but I would never use it. I can control my alarm from inside Wal-Mart and that is enough for me.
NOW if they would make me an app where my truck could call me if it's being broken into and give me video of what is going on...I would be all over that and would pay $50 a year.

I would be more likely to do that, I hate Apple.

I roughly followed this writeup making my customizations along the way:
The DIY $10 prepaid cellphone remote car starter -- Engadget
That is a cool idea but how much does a prepaid minutes cost. Just thinking using that you could burn through some money.

With the phone I used, its a number thats never been ever given out and since you could make profiles and customize a ringtone/vibrate alert to a certain caller id number, i was able to eliminate most risks.
First, never ever have had a call from any number other than my own.
The profile setting/caller id settings have it where it only vibrates when my number calls
and cost wise, 500 minutes = 30 bucks = 500 starts (probably use trice a week) = 3 years worth of starts.

Cell phone hack
What would really be funny: call your car and get an automated voice saying, "press 1 to start your car, press 2 to unlock your car, press 3 to lock your car, press 4 to activate the time circuits and flux capacitor, press 5 to fire meh laser!" And etc.

ive installed quite a few of these they are awesome, one of the emplyees has it and its getting really really cool, you can see where the truck is, set a boundary on a map that will warn you if the truck goes out of it, see the max speed the truck has gone, all kinds of sweet stuff. plus you get roadside assistance. i think they are starting to do 2 way notifications if the alarm goes off so does your phone. and it works on blackberry, android and iphone, pretty damn sweet imo
