He is hooking his phone up to a pre-existing remote starter unit (which he probably paid a few hundie for).  What do I think happens when I turn the key?  Well, considering I said my car has an ignition cutoff, when I insert my key I THINK the transponder sends an encrypted signal to the ECU which opens the fuel line and runs the starter, meanwhile the ECU is regulating the ignition timing (no distributor in modern engines) and likely the air intake because it's trying to moderate emissions, which it detects via an O2 sensor in my exhaust.  And my car is 5 years old.  If you can build a plug-in replacement ECU that requires no authentication with a couple relays, then I guess you're the badass genius.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[trentblase]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 20th 2010 10:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The DIY $10 prepaid cellphone remote car starter]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-diy-10-prepaid-cellphone-remote-car-starter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-diy-10-prepaid-cellphone-remote-car-starter/</guid><description><![CDATA[nice!<br><br>maybe if combined with Google Voice, you won't have to be worried about wrong numbers/telemarketers.<br><br>also, couldn't you set it only to vibrate only when certain numbers call? by just setting the ringtone to 'vibrate'?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[danger355]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 20th 2010 10:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The DIY $10 prepaid cellphone remote car starter]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-diy-10-prepaid-cellphone-remote-car-starter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-diy-10-prepaid-cellphone-remote-car-starter/</guid><description><![CDATA[I found some remote starter at ebay for less than $60, with no monthly fee]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[htd]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 20th 2010 10:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The DIY $10 prepaid cellphone remote car starter]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-diy-10-prepaid-cellphone-remote-car-starter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-diy-10-prepaid-cellphone-remote-car-starter/</guid><description><![CDATA[@htd link?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael Wolstat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 20th 2010 11:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The DIY $10 prepaid cellphone remote car starter]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-diy-10-prepaid-cellphone-remote-car-starter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-diy-10-prepaid-cellphone-remote-car-starter/</guid><description><![CDATA[@htd The point of this setup is to be able to start your car remotely from a very long distance away.

I didn't want to try it on a remote start for the fear of it starting in my garage because of a possible accidental page. I abandoned the project because Onstar could do the same thing (for a more expensive monthly fee though).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ddc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 20th 2010 3:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The DIY $10 prepaid cellphone remote car starter]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-diy-10-prepaid-cellphone-remote-car-starter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-diy-10-prepaid-cellphone-remote-car-starter/</guid><description><![CDATA[this could be done in a bit of a different way... set up the phone profile to silent / no vibrate when an incoming call comes in but vibrate for text messages (most phones allow to do this.
