I don’t like having more in my pockets than I absolutely have to and I don’t like having to extract keys and sort through them each time I access my car.  I want my car to automatically unlock when I approach it.

This is a project I have been considering for a while but never started because my car had manual locks and I wasn’t going to install automatic locks on it when I didn’t intend to keep it for long.  It also only had two doors so unlocking everything wasn’t much of a hassle.  I now own a Jeep Cherokee which has four doors and unlocking all of them is a hassle.  In this case it is worth is for me to convert to automatic locks.  (Currently has manual locks.)

In order to have my car unlock as I want it to I will need:

• Aftermarket automatic door locks installed
• Arduino w/bluetooth aware of when paired phone is in range
• Phone or other bluetooth host device
