Description

This might be one of my favorite projects i have worked on. using my spare car key i have createde a device that can press the buttons to remote start the car. Using an Arduino nano as a microcontroller and SIM800l for GSM connection by which i only have to send as specific text message and the text is then verified in the microcontroller to then take an action based on the text. I can lock the car and start the car from anywhere in the world with just a text message. I am also using a Step-Down voltage converter for the arduino and the SIM800L module to use 4.5v from the 9V battery. For my next iteration in will get rid of the servos and directly tap into the key's circuit and use a SSR to act as buttons.
