[ale] Car/Android integration (OT)

[alan at alanlee.org]

I think he's referring tosome of the hobby MCU projects that offer a connection
to class 2 CAN or GM-LAN via your OBD-II port through BlueTooth SSP from your
phone.  Allows you to do things like remote start your car, change radio and
environmental controls, etc.
