Re: Using car key fob as generic remote control


The problem is getting a receiver to interpret the encrypted communications, so the simplest solution would be to make use of the receiver in the car that's already set up for that purpose.

Using an Arduino compatible microcontroller and some sort of transmitter module, it would be quite easy for it to send packets when the doors are locked/unlocked, when a door is opened/closed, and when the car is started/stopped (to name a few events) just by connecting the GPIOs using voltage dividers to divide down the 12V...

Re: Using car key fob as generic remote control

Rather than trying to defeat the security of the key, what about install a transmitter in the car connected to the door locks? Lock your car when it's near your house and it turns on the lights if it's dark.

Re: RCUnlocker

Would it be possible to run it on Linux? After extracting the archive, it appears to be based on Python and I assume would be trivial to port.
