I was interested in adding a fob to my car that would work very similarly to the one found with the new Maximas (enables keyless from door and push button start when you come in range). I have no problem with wiring this up but I cannot seem to find a RF or Bluetooth device out there that has the things I need. The two big needs are:

A) Large enough range that I do not have to take the fob/card out of my pocket (maybe 2 or 3 feet)

B) Some sort of output (- or +) to enable everything once the fob/card comes in range

Has anyone heard of such a device or know where I can get something similar? Let me know what you have seen.

Yes, there is a remote starter (I'll look up the brand/model) produced in China that apparently has proximity sense for it's keyfob .. it's LOADED with other features and has been posted on this forum before .. it's 2-way, etc... i'll look it up

As far as independent unit that'll specifically provide the two functions you're looking for .. haven't heard of anything like that.

Actually looks like a pretty nifty system. Wether or not it actually works is another thing
