Have to say... The combination of this device, the proposed use case for it, and your avatar picture are a perfect symphony of redneck ingenuity.

Are you tired of waiting for Ford Pass Pro Power Remote functions?

All it takes is fingers, right? So why not a couple of remote fingers?! :)

Oh, might need a broomstick on brake peddle too. :)

Carry on.
This is hilarious, however also my next thought is that this idea has potential. Think about the stuff you have at home that makes it possible:

1. Consistent power source
2. Constant internet connection
3. Proximity to a Bluetooth phone.

We have to solve for this in our trucks. So to have a "remote button pusher", we need to:

1. Provide a consistent power source that will not serve as a significant power drain on the 12v battery
2. Work in Texas summers in a truck sitting on the lot for 8 - 12 hours and vice versa for the frozen hellscape up north
3. Provide some way to reach the device remotely, ideally without requiring its own sim card. 2.4khz wireless?
4. Make sure the signal is encrypted and not just an easy hack
5. Make it look nice and not like like this product and not some weird hack


If you can solve for those problems, keep the solution affordable, and provide an easy way to "mount it" next to the start button, then you may actually have a winner that would work on a ton of vehicles that would otherwise require a subscription.
