Foursprung: Use Your Web Browser to Start Your Car

Guidepoint online
Guidepoint is known as a service similar to GM's OnStar system providing emergency assictance in the US and Mexico, but adds the functionality of tracking stolen vehicles. You could call up Guidepoint, and request them to unlock your car door for you.

But Guidepoint is now offering a service that lets drivers control certain functions of their car using a web browser.

The provider created a wireless access protocol (WAP) version of its existing Guidepoint service, that allows subscribers to unlock doors, start the engine, and honk the horn through any web-enabled device, namely cellphones and PDAs, though it could certainly work from your office desktop too.
