On the subject of geeky things
(Ducky might be able to help with this one)

A few years (5 years or so) back the father of a friend of mine had a BMW with a button on the alarm remote that would start up his car and turn the heaters on so that he could defrost the car without leaving the house or having to have a spare key.

Do you think it'd be possible to perform a bit of a hack so that you could achieve the same with a phone call or a text message?

That way I could heat up my car before I leave work! Shame I wouldn't be able to do it with my Ford Ka.

:edit: Dok surely that's just because the bundled software for those tasks is good? Couldn't I achieve the same with similar software installed on a different OS?
