Nokia E65 Controlled Car - Best April Fool’s Day Hoax
I like to try push the limit for what I can do with my Eseries devices. I think I have done some cool things but I don't even come close to this - control your car via Bluetooth using a Nokia E65.
Via Slashphone. The original article and video clip here (In Czeck).

Wow, thats crazy! Reminds of me James Bond movie-Tomorrow never dies. BMW remotely driven.

Anyone else notice the date the original article was published?

Man! The bluetooth connection drops out from time to time.
What if this happens when you’re trying to make a turn and end up going straight instead?

It’s a Fool’s day joke, guys. It’s even written at the end of the article. Trust me, I’m Czech…

Really funny, but could be possible in the near future

Pretty cool!.. Gives me ideas of controlling your car’s security!.. imagine.. locking, unlocking or starting your car with your bluetooth mobile! hmmm..

of course this is still a dream, but Vinit nowadays we already have car alarms activated via gsm/cdma cellphones. they’re able to (by distance) turn off engine, cut the fuel, turn the sound alarm on and loud, activate car lights and alert signals and, at last (but not at least), give the car location via gprs even evdo network.
If I can buy a system like this easily here in Brazil, it’s a clear sign that this technology is already in current work in Europe, Asia and U.S.

heh nice it’s joke but imho why not - if bluetooth will be changed by wifi / tcp ip in modern cars where almost everything is powerd / drivien by mcu´s and embeded pc’s it’s only about api and connection

I have an April Fools joke for Symbian freaks running for 3 years now

Even thought I thought it was pretty obvious, I’m still receiving comments on it today. There used to be a WAP page to “download” the patch which would display “April fools!”

Hi ! I’m doing a solar car for a project and I think that would be a very good idea. Add my msn or send me an email (cnl_99@hotmail.com) telling me which kind of tools do I need to control a car by bluetooth with my E65.
Cheers !
