Re:Modding cars? - 2007/04/05 12:46
Its something that would be done in a pretty standard way by anyone who attempted it - mount a pc of some description inside the car.
What would be nice is some sort of OS that comes configured for use in a car - with easy to use plugins for controlling things like your media, gps and more advanced functions - most cars are the same and most peoples requirements of the product would be the same.
A launching platform is all thats required to make this challenging mod into a really sweet one.
Possible plugins could be:
- in car media center
- remote access for ignition, windows, locking
- smart computer on/off functionality - linked to
ignition and battery usage
- gps software
- wifi integration to house network - control your car from the house and the house from the car ( no need to open garage door - would just happen when you got in range of house).
- Car monitoring - link all data collection into the computer so you know your speed, distance - can warn when service required.
[li[ Bluetooth - automagically connect your phone to the car for hands free action [/li]
Certainly out of my scope but would be nice to see someone set this sort of platform up. I would love to contribute.
