I wish I had wrote: "There will be an app for that". I'm 99% sure someone from HN will program it.

You will have to root your car to do that.

Its a joke but I'm trying to root my Fiat500 right now in order to rid myself of the awful microsoft "Blue&Me" and get it to do something useful.

My car has usb ports. I should have root.
