would the rain, snow or ice effect this sysem? becuase i could't even use my key this morning. had to get in from the trunk. lol


my uncle's AMG 55 has a puch buttoin start. and a key.

 

If it is your lock that is frozen, this would prevent it. If it is your door, it wouldnt.

really, really cool!!

 

Wow... OLD thread. So.. I have seen these kinds of things on TV with the whole fingerprint recognition and such, my question is ARE YOU RICH??!! did you get rights to this? Are you the one behind all the highclass car keyless fingerprint entry?

 

as good as an idea this sounds like... not so much... what purpose?! interesting though.

 

haha what purpose? yeah, why DO they have fingerprint anything? hmm... gee... that is a stumper ain't it?

I don't know, maybe to keep unauthorized people from starting your car? I don't know its just a hunch.

 

Old post......

But still... How could anyone be negative about this?

ANY security system is only as strong as the material encasing the actual physical object, and a person's will. Including keys, remote entry, and proximity cards. To say that is redundant, and just plain ignorant.

It's a very cool convenience. With the addition of the ignition to the system, you simply walk up, extend your finger, and drive away.You have eliminated the need for a key of any kind.

Locks can be picked and remote signals can be recorded and duplicated. Both of those along with proximity cards can be stolen or lost, and ALL THREE can get broken.

The last I noticed, I lose my keys and remote alot more than a finger. Actually, come to think of it, I've never lost a finger. Even if you did, you have 9 other ones. I'd never even try to hide 9 keys on my car.

 

Any idea when these will(or might) come into buyable versions? If not, how hard would ti be to get the proper peices you made/bought for this porject?

 

Thanks and well said Disturbed One.... Not sure why the concept is so confusing to some.

As for any further development on this - I haven't done any in several years. There was far too much custom fabrication to be done with the install to warrant any production of the system. If I can find a smaller, more convienent fingerprint sensor to incorporate into the system I might consider producing a new model for the future.

 

microsoft makes one that runs on usb into a computer (model:1033) its like $50

 

I think Lexus or some other Up scale car company has almost this exact thing its some sort of personal recognition... All you need is you, and the car recognises you... not sure if it has to do with a RF signal in the Key or if its figerprint technology...

UPDATE---
I just looked it up on the Lexus website, sure enough they have a chip in the key that sends out a signal, when your in proximity of the car it senses the key and will allow you to open your car without getting the key out. It also works with the Ignition...

From the Lexus.com website:
"SmartAccess
With the revolutionary SmartAccess feature, you can lock and unlock your doors, open the trunk and start the ignition-all without having to take your keys out of your pocket or purse. As soon as the sensors detect the presence of your SmartAccess key, the door unlocks when you touch the handle. "

You don't need a Lexus. My wife's 2004 Prius does the same thing. Never have to take th ekey out of your pocket. Pretty convinient when wrestling with kids of carrying packages.

 

I believe the new vettes are supossed to have this to, oh and did anyone else notice the ad for the biometric locks above this thread ? hehe I thought it was cool http://www.buyasafe.com/Door_Locks_s/25.htm now all you have to do is install one of those house doors on your car door he he

 

Hey Guys,

Look what i found here www.automobile-security.com

They have Identisafe-09 (Fingerprint Ignition start + Fingerprint door lock) since last 4 years.

They also have pictures of OEM suppliers to Ferrari fingerprint Ignition called

Identisafe-09 on their products page. www.automobile-security.com/products.htm


It seems they also have retina scan for car security.

www.automobile-security.com/retinasafe-18product.htm

What do you guys says.?????....it loooks pretty professional and real... I will purchase one and give you a feedback..its 399 $..

 

What I want to see is a fingerprint system with shaved door handles and lambo door latches. When you press your finger up to the scanner the door pops open. Wouldn't that be sweet to impress the ladies huh? "What can I say? I've got the magic touch."

 

wow, ladies must think you are really smooth.

 

It was just a joke.

 

I know this is old but does anyone know what happened with this or any more pictures? this is pretty cool.

 

I second that

 

Soooo, I was just googling around looking basically for this very thing and thought to myself "Why didn't I just check ThirdGen.Org in the first place?!?"

I know that this post is nearly a decade old (!) but I'm adding myself to the list Doug that are both amazed and what to buy this. And make no mistake, I wouldn't be doing the fabrication myself. I just need the parts, (or the list of parts and instructions) and I'll take it over to my fab guy and have him do the work. I'd please it under my handle as well though, I'd like it there myself, more out of the way.

Hope to some day get this as a kit or a parts list from you, or something similar from "out there" on the web. Biometric key & ignition systems rock!
