Vehicle security and keeping pace of advancement in car features with technology have been major concern in automobile industries. Many people have to face difficulties in locking/unlocking and switching ON/OFF the car engine upon losing the car key. In addition to that in most of the higher range car, people have to wait for few minutes after turning on the car engine to allow the car engine to attain its normal operating temperature to get better performance of the car engine and improve its life. Moreover, if a car gets stolen and used for some illegal activities banned by the government then a car owner will face many legal hitches. So to tackle all these issues, an electronic system is designed and implemented in a real car that does not provide only car security feature but provides additional features such as unlocking and locking of the car, and switching ON and OFF the car engine remotely using smart phone. This paper basically discusses the technical aspects of such electronic system.
