no car apps here

I have a key to lock / unlock my car, what do I need an app for, beyond adding a big security hole?

I wish they would stop going on about rooted phone as a bad thing.

It's the only way on android to get a degree of control as need root to do any half decent security measures such as editing hosts file (nothing so useful as sudo on android to temporarily elevate privs to do such edits)
