Kroby has made a cool GSM Controlled Car Alarm System for his entry to the PIC32 design challenge. Have a look at the video below to see it in action. Have a look at all of the other entries here.
"Nowdays stealing of cars is a great problem. Unfortunately, car alarm systems, which are in circulation gives not enough security. In my project I try to update these systems with following functions: – remote control on/off function (sms) – You can query the alarm system on/off status (sms) – at anytime You can query the car GPS position with a simply sms message – in case of alarm-signal the system send a warning sms – You can download the cameras picture which is situated in car (with software by means of GPRS) – You can follow on-line the car movement ( with software through GPRS)"

That’s the kind of thing I’d want in my car.

Hi Alex,
It is a microcontroller (computer on a chip) made by a company called Microchip. You can read more details here:

Digikey has a starter kit available here:

That’s pretty cool. At first I thought it was a camera that streams to the internet, for your car. That’s would be really cool!
