Control your RX8 with your Ipod Touch
Well that's what this guy did anyway. Pretty crazy.

I've heard it is an April Fools joke. To me it doesn't seem like a viable option since the computer would need to be on constantly and drain the battery. It is possible and all the links he has on his site are legitimate, but the fact that the computer has to stay on makes believe this is a joke. There is probably someone behind the camera with a keyless remote and remote start.
Not sure. Its actually all possible although I agree with the battery drain issue unless it pulls such little power to run preliminary checks (IE: signal in or signal out) and if it retrieves a request it could then pull from the battery full power. Much the same as the keyless system, onstar systems, etc all work. Not to get technical, but I could see how this would work... is it useful is the question...
