Even better, they sell it as a kit for tinkerers, too, so if you want to wire the phone and motion detector into the rest of your vehicle's circuitry you can. Or if you just want to leave an old cellphone stashed inside your car somewhere, the company sells clip-on backs to many common phones with the circuits integrated inside."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20041216-phone_alarm.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />This is pretty interesting. I have a couple old Nokia 5190's that I was going to eBay, but this might be a better use for them. :lol:
