Mmmmmmmmmm......I don't think so.
You find your car stolen one morning.... You whip out your phone.... You find out your car is currently in motion down I-80 30 miles away....
happen. Still, makes for a good revenge thought
ever heard of TeleAid or OnStar? instead of calling TeleAid or OnStar to disable the engine.
u just send a command from the cellphone to disable the car if some1 stole it, and the car send back it' location based on GPS data.

Re: Control your car from your phone???

Onstar now after a stolen car report slows the car down and turns the flashers on if the car is moving making it an easy target for police. The insurance discount for that should be huge.

Or you lose your cell phone and, while driving on the highway, the person who finds it disables your engine. No thanks.
