Introduction

🚀 This is an arduino sketch that enables the use of a sim-reader in order to remotely start a vehicle




Description

This Arduino sketch is specifically made and tested for a Volkswagen Golf MK4 GTI, but it will most likely work on older cars as long as the immobilizer is removed/defeated.

You will need to have a neutral switch in your car if it is a manual car, you can easily connect this switch to an arduino pin.

Our Arduino Sketch requires a SIM card-reader that you can send SMS messages to. We wrote the sketch specifically for the sim800l gsm module. We recommend using a prepaid card for your sim, as it is free to receive messages.




Requirements

These items are required for our sketch to work.

  1. 💻 An arduino
  2. 💾 A sim-card module that can read and send messages
  3. 📱 A phone that can send messages
  4. 📲 A sim-card that can receive messages
  5. ⚙️ A neutral-switch in your car

Optional

  1. 🖨️ A 3D-printer to print our case for the arduino and a relay-box



How To

Use our sketch

To use our sketch, you will need to upload our .ino file to your arduino-board. Make sure you've changed all necessary values before uploading and that you've properly hooked the arduino to your sim-reader and your vehicle before powering on the arduino.
