I have just bought all the components needed for this project and I am about to dig out my trusty old soldering iron to get things started.

I was just wondering if anyone has thought of any other Boxster related projects that the Arduino could handle - seems a bit of a waste to let such a powerful computer to just do the top switch.

What about things like curtesy headlights (headlights stay on for say 20sec at night after switching off) or auto-closing windows on arming (I already have a module to handle that, but conceivably the Arduino could handle it instead). Can anyone think of other "comfort" features that we can put the Arduino to work for?
