Check Engine Light
 
I wanted to throw this idea out there and see what happened. How about turning our PPCs into a diagnostic device too. Just plug it up to yer vehicle and see what that check engine light is all about instead of paying someone $80-$100 dollars to do it. Oh, and while im at it. Can these devices also hijack a internet jukebox in a bar?

That would be cool if it can be done, It would also be cool to flash a cars computer with our ppc...I use a predator for my Mustang.

very good ideas....... now all that needs to happen is for a great dev to catch an eye on this little baby and then when any of the iphone users come we can make them dump their pants. lol

I don't think this idea is far fetched, all we need is a wire harness to plug our ppc (mini usb) to our cars computer and some software.

usually that software costs thousands of dollars

Very cool idea but there would be a tremendous work load keeping up with all of the auto manufactures. Leave it to a fellow St. louis boy to come up with the idea... :)

the juke box idea would be sweet, but we'd need an older PPC that has infrared (so we could trick the box into thinking its the original remote)
