Default Electrickery ideas wanted.

Some of you may have noticed that I've produced a few little amusements involving the use of remote controls and other gadgetry for our cars.

Some of the ideas were my own, others an extension of the ideas of forum members.

With the latest project for automatic extension and retraction of the powerfolds now validated and available, I've run out of ideas so I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas that I could try to produce please?

I can't guarantee anything of course but happy to have some thoughts to work on

What about an electric opening boot? (You press the key and the boot doesn't just unlock it opens up fully).

Ingition fires up at press of a button

The horn sounds at a press of a button

Can't think of anymore right now...

Somebody else is researching that as we speak, Lewis

Have been trying to do that for ages. The wiring is simple enough. The problem is the B*W immobiliser. At the moment it's a no-go
