Truck/RFID thoughts
Ok, so this is purely a thought.
I currently have the rewritable RFID from cyberise.me and my ultimate goal is having it be used with my truck. I know @mcstuff has done a project with his car and that I will be trying to accomplish also. That being said I started thinking about my remote start in the truck I would be using and decided that might be a better way to access it to turn it over.
At this point I'm not just thinking up ways to mod my truck and thought, hey why not rip down a keyfob to as basic as possible and just have the remote start and battery? Now it went from a simple truck mod to maybe it could be implanted in the forearm with an inductive charge coil and magnetic switch for the button. I think in order for the fob to start the truck with just one button I would need to change the program in the device because it requires the doorlock and then the remote start button. That would obviously be ideal if I want to minimalize the size but a quick fix would be to just make it use both of the buttons through wiring.
Bare in mind I do not yet have an m31 for multiple reasons which are unavailability and lack of a person to install it.
All that being said I would love some feedback on why my current plan would not work or why it would.
Side note: charging the battery would not be a wire in the wall at night with a magnetic tab. That could start the truck instead I was thinking of using a compression armband that had a chargeable battery that I could just slip on into the correct spot to A) hold it in place and B) not be as awkward to have on. This would make it more aesthetically please in public or wherever.

I'd go the hacking the truck route - maybe use something like an xEM to read the tag and have the signal wire send a signal to unlock the car as well as remote start it at the same time.
Just my two cents.
The only thing I could see possibly getting around the new truck issue would be if the fob is "universal". I have seen them before where you just have to program the fob to work on that vehicle.
In all honesty I will probably go the truck route first since I have means to do that currently opposed to the implant part. I was toying with an idea of putting multiple readers in the truck for different things such as door locks and starting. I think using the fob as a back bone to it all might be the simplest and fastest route.
and an arduino to trigger it instead of the key. on one circuit and another for the central locking. I do have concerns with the security of the system though and have been trying to solve this.
I'm sure you could make it work easy enough though
The off-the-shelf authenticators are dead simple to set up and use and the one I used had an all-weather antenna with respectable read range. Do sells them.
