Start Your Car With Your Cell Phone (Next Year, Anyway)

New Cell Phone Can Turn on Your CarNissan, Sharp, and Japanese cell phone provider DoCoMo are working to lighten the load in your pockets. The three companies have developed a cell phone that integrates Nissan's Intelligent Key system.

The Intelligent Key system allows you to unlock and lock your car as well as start and stop your engine wirelessly, and is currently installed in almost one million cars around the world. The cell phone integration should be hitting the market in early 2009. The system has been available as an option on Nissan vehicles since 2002, but this is the first time it has been combined with another gadget, which means one less thing to have to cram in to the pocket of your skinny jeans.
