Result

Conclusion

This is a better solution than using a remote starter because of it’s limited distance and the view between the car and the remote can not be blocked.

This is a better solution than Onstar service because you have to pay a monthly fee and not every car has this feature.

Future work

Incorporate with another cell phone in the system to call me when my car is running or when someone breaks into my car.

Apply this system to my friend’s cars that I can make some money and they can save some money as well.
