Anybody interested in a RFID based ignition system?
I figured b4 I go overboard in writing a detailed "how-to" guide...id check to see if their was any interest in this. I'll summarize my reasons for doing this 1) I was bored 2) it required waaayyy too much effort for my lazy **** to put the key in the ignition & turn it (lol) 3) I'm a tech nerd....need I say more??
So pretty much, wut I did was deleted my keyed igntion system & wired up a RFID reader, an arduino, & 4 relays to become my "new & improved" ignition system.
So...I'll await for the responses...personally I kinda assumed only my Dumbass would think of doing something like this, but my friend keeps insisting it's really "cool" & that other ppl would see want to do it too...

Not enough to cause a dead battery (yet) lol. The reader/writer gets it's power supplied from the duino. So the longest my car has sat w/o being started was 2 weeks. I parked it at LAX while I was on a business trip to Chicago. Got back, and it started no problem. I'm sure ideally the duino should b powered off unless it's being used, but then its starts to get more complex lol.
