[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 534107, member: 259515"] [IMG]http://mos.techradar.com//classifications/gadgets/phones/mobile-phones/images/kenyan_mobile_car-200-200.jpg[/IMG] An 18 year old from Kenya has invented the 'Block and Track' system, which allows a user control over a vehicle using a mobile phone. Morris Mbetsa developed the anti-theft and tracking system despite having no formal training, thanks to a love of taking gadgets apart. Using a combination of voice, touchtone key presses and SMS, the car can effectively be authorised only by the owner. [B]Ignition code[/B] When the ignition is started when the car is supposed to be locked, the vehicle rings the owner and he or she must punch in a code to allow it to start. The system also can patch in to the car's conversations, so if your hot-rod has been hotwired you can hear the thieves laughing and congratulating one another. Better hope they accidentally read out the address of their secret hideout too, eh?
