Ok this is a small fun proof of concept derived originally from my paranoia that some strangers may do harm to my baby I wanted a means to locate my M as the BMW remote app only allows vehicle location within a small ridiculous radius and you'd get a message saying it can't be located for privacy reasons... I also wanted to remotely and over cellular data access an onboard camera so I can see around my lonely car !
Proof of concept: - An old jailbroken iPhone 5 - Data sim card ($10/month for 150Mb) - Apple app "Find my friends" - Cydia app "AutoAnswer" : auto-answers incoming FaceTime calls! I am able to locate my car anywhere there's a cellular signal (2G, 3G, LTE) and I can FaceTime it : I haven't finalized the hidden location of the iPhone 5 with power when ignition is ON. A small con is that the autoanswer app doesn't provide a means to choose the rear camera as by default FaceTime is active with the front facing camera. Thoughts/comments? |

And for shits and giggles - publish your FaceTime details so any random anywhere in the world can ring you |

@dinonz , the AutoAnswer app supports callerID so you can tell it to AutoAnswer from a list of approved numbers or emails!

An alternative would be to add a Blackvue 2ch cam + *any* phone with Wi-Fi (for cellular data only).
