Delphi has demonstrated its Wireless Vehicle Access software running on an iPhone this week at CES. Described as a concept, the new system utilizes a Bluetooth link between the iPhone (or other device) and a new smart key fob to allow users to check their car’s vitals from up to a mile away.
Functions include the ability to turn on the engine, turn on the climate control, roll down the windows, check door unlock/lock status, monitor tire pressure, check how much gas is in the car, and even tell the condition of the oil and brake fluid. It is unknown when/if the new system may find its way into production vehicles.
