hotwire pretty much is a program box, just fancier. but one thing, it would be much more appealing if hotwire was built into our esc's. thus eliminating plugin's in hotwire. All you'd have to do is turn your car on, or when the radio turns on, the car does as well and then turn your phone on, whamo hotwire on your phone, no plugins. That i'd pay for, but this isn't "new" tech at all.
