Starting your car with a remote starter is the easy way out.  I suppose its more expensive but it’s just not as cool as this.  Guidepoint is now offering a service that you control certain functions of your car on the web.

The company created a WAP version of its existing Guidepoint service, allowing customers to unlock their doors, start the engine, and honk the horn from any device with a web browser… including cellphones and PDAs.

According to Guidepoint’s CEO Rand Mueller, “The addition of WAP and our recent move to digital reflect our drive to deliver value innovation to customers. Our goal is not to create bleeding edge technology. Instead, we are focused aligning innovation with utility, price and costs to deliver a unique experience.”

Guidepoint is in the same industry as OnStar but adds the ability to track your stolen vehicle.  In addition, you don’t even need to call them anymore when you lock yourself out of your car, because you can do it yourself from your mobile phone.
