V-am spus ieri ca Viper SmartStart ne permite sa pornim masinile folosind asistentul personal Siri din iOS, insa acelasi lucru poate fi facut folosind un simplu SMS. Un nou hack ce utilizeaza un iPhone, tehnologia SMS, o placa Arduino si putina inginerie, ne permite sa pornim masina indiferent la ce distanta ne-am afla de ea. Totul implica o conectare manuala a placii Arduino la masina, ea trimitand automat un mesaj catre iPhone cand motorul a pornit, insa din pacate intreaga modificare nu poate fi chiar atat de legala.
I send a text message from my phone with the phrase: “Start 1234? (1234 would be the password in the phone script). The phone gets the text then tells the arduino via serial interface to start. The arduino grounds the wire to the remote start that activates it. Meanwhile, the phone sends back a SMS saying ‘Executed’ to let me know that it got the message and is acting on it. In the future it’ll send back a message confirming that the start was executed as opposed to the I told him to do it method.
Aici gasiti toate explicatiile necesare pentru construitea intregului hack, insa cel mai indicat ar fi sa nu va bateti prea mult capul.
