Welcome To The Future: Ipod Car Remote

By Eric Harrison

Controlling a car with an iPod seems like something take out of a fairytale or of a science fiction movie. But a man who is bound to set new standards, Jonathan Over, has just proven that it is possible and it can be done with the help of his newly invented program. He showed the world how he can not only write about stuff in technical publications, but also create strange yet futuristic devices.

The application he invented can be used to close and open a car's doors, the trunk, the windows and to start the engine. The car owner can also see the fuel level, the speed and engine temperature on the display of the iPod. The program offer all around the world coverage, as it allows the presence of a GPS system to allow people track their car with Google Maps' help.

Your car has to be computerized. This means you will connect an in-car laptop to the car's computer and connect a 3G modem to the laptop. This procedure allows the iPod to stay always connected to the car, Even if you are located in a different part of the world, you will still be able to view and control your car via iPod means. It sounds a bit strange and also unsafe, since any new software programs that's using GPS seems so easily available to hackers, and since the program basically controls your car, you have to wonder what would happen if someone does manages to break into it.

You have to consider safety and accuracy before getting something like this for your car. But if by any chance it becomes something huge you will also need a iPod fm transmitter charger so that the functionality of the device is truly around the clock. It would be too funny to use such a sophisticated program and run off battery on the iPod.

It's surprising to realize just how far things have gone during the past few years, both with technology and invention. Who would of thought of such inventions when the iPods first appeared? No one. They were simply plain music players, and few people tried to attribute them more tasks back then.
