Has anyone developed a file transfer tool to put/get the .cal file on the Autronic from an Android based phone? Or Iphone or anything else for that matter? I'm not talking about a tuning program, just a simple program that puts the .cal file on the Autronic and gets it off. This way we can turn off the car and pull the .cal file from the car so we don't have to worry about someone stealing it. Then when we get back in the car, and plug the phone into the usb port we can start the car after we put the .cal file on it from the phone. I would love to have one of these and would pay for it if it meant an excellent anti-theft device.

It seems simple enough to make, I just don't know anything about programming. I have a friend that writes programs, what commands would put the file on the autronic if I wanted to put it on through a command line?

or could someone tell me way the .cal file is stored on the Autronic? Is it stored on /******.cal. I don't know what kind of filesystem the Autronic uses. I have a friend that is a programmer and I talked to him last night, he should be able to write it and I can send it to one of you guys to verify the reliability of it.

Here's how I'm thinking that I want it. I start the app on my phone, get in the car and plug in the USB, as soon as the phone recognizes that it is plugged into the USB the .cal file is automatically transferred to the car, so I can turn the key. And if I want to pull it off of the Autronic then I just press a button when I'm unplugging it. And maybe enter a pin, just so no one fiddling with the phone would be able to take the .cal file off of the Autronic when it's running.
