Hi all! New member here. About a year ago I cracked open my remote car starter key fob and wired it to a GSM controlled relay switch. I connected the GSM device to my 12 cigarette outlet in my truck to keep continuous power to it and stowed it under the dash. Now I can start my vehicle from anywhere in the world!
I would like to start performing this service for others where I live (for a fee of course), and would like to simplify the process. Currently I'd have to track down their exact type of key fob remote and try to get one on ebay (buying them new is just too expensive) and then wire it up and try to make up for any timing problems or sequencing problems that their remote starter may have (i.e. having to press other buttons first or pressing the start button twice).
So my question is, has anyone cracked open their car starter brain before? I would love to wire my GSM controller in directly to whatever pin gets activated when a wireless signal from the key fob is received. Do you think such a thing is possible? It would be awesome to just buy a bunch of really cheap remote car starters that have crummy key fobs and just wire the GSM controller in directly and never have to use the key fobs ever again.
Anyways, any thoughts or information you may have would be awesome!
