I agree $150 is a decent price, we’re not talking about the FOB itself but the “function” for the car. Don’t look on the electronics of the FOB when considering the price because having this function will also need to upgrade other electronics inside the car and inside the tire. So maybe $150 for the FOB plus the upgrade on your car $$$$$.

Well, My freind has a LCD fob for his remote starter, and just knowing that you pressed the keystoke to start your car, and knowing that your car started, is the biggest feature of all.

Well considering how simple the security is on most keyfobs, I’d worry about the hacking issues. How would you like to be driving down the road only to have the kid in the car behind you changing your radio settings. If they continue down this route, what else will a skilled hacker, or a script kiddie using the script from a skilled hacker be able to change?

Well, I don’t have any kids so I would get it to check the tire pressures. ;-)
But I think it would be useful, as was mentioned, if you need/want to check the fuel from outside the car or any of the other vehicle vitals. It would also be kind of handy if it also taps into the climate control and can tell you the temp inside the car, especially if you use a remote starter. Considering most SUVS start around $30K new, $150 for this gadget don’t seem so bad. Actually for a tranmitter, tied to your vehicles computer, and a fob receiver, this seems like a decent price, especially coming from an OEM car manufacturer.
