I'm so sad that I have to leave my baby, this forums and this country.
I wish I could meet everyone at Seven Stock once more, but my time in US is done.

An RFID reader is mounted in the back right window of the car, and when it detects an authorised RFID tag it unlocks the car and starts the engine automatically. I have an RFID tag surgically implanted in my left arm so I can unlock and start the car simply by putting my arm near the window.
I was waiting for him to show us how he shuts the car off, right after he turned it on.
Think that IPod can also deflood? lol

The problem is the computer would need to be powered constantly, thus draining the battery, but it is possible with an auxiliary battery. Also computers currently have limited ODBII abilities, at least to the general public and anything you could put on a carputer. Granted I'm not 100% on what any ODB software might be able to read and it could be possible it can read all that information already.
Yes this could be possible in theory, but the person doing it would need knowledge in web programming since it was all controlled over HTTP according to the guy's statement, iPhone development, ODB2 development, and some type of programming skills. It would be an interesting project, but completely worthless imo since there are better alternatives.

what he shows as far as obdii info is easily aquired by any number of scanner softwares hymee, scan guage 2 the elm stuff, efi dude, cobb etc etc etc it was an issue getting to it 5 years ago but not now
LOL.
Good day to start new thread.
Obviously, this is not a joke.
Thanks for more input.

My general thought is that people who are unwilling to read the STICKIED posts in this exact forum before posting about forced induction have no business messing with their engine.
