New audi/TT Gizmos on the horizon?
 
Someone told me today that a BMW, either new or planned, is going to do away with ignition keys and have biometrics (hand/fingerprint recognition) for ignition, audio, internal controls, etc.

Anyone hear about this or know if Audi is planning on using any technology like this in the near future?

could you ever let someone borrow your car? does it allow for more then one finger print recognition

I don't know - but we were laughing that our wives couldn't
 
take our cars as she never moves the seats/mirrors back! lol!

how easy or long with it be before theives figure out this bypass... what if.. what if.. what if...

hehe you just don't give her finger print recognition. mean!!

Again-don't know, but I think security was the reason for the
 
development. Maybe dealers are given overrides of some sort.

Sweet, that is fantastic!! Now to steal your car they need to cut off your finger. Sign me up. lol

CJ S4 (aka CJ TT) 06-08-2002 07:01 PM

CJ S4 (aka CJ TT) 06-08-2002 07:01 PM

Only my hand works chipped version!!

being a geek i just think that finger print recognition
 
is to easy to beat.. and not worth the extra money they're going to charge us.. if someone wants to steal your car. they're going to find a way..
