ColorMFA

I've been working on an project for my Golf MK4.
Basically its using an arduino nano to controll 3 realys to start the car.
I've got it pretty much figured out. I'm using the unlock blinks and an timer to count how many times the hazards blinks when unlocking. If it detects that the hazards blinks 6 times within 3 seconds it will start the car via a few relays. Obviously you need to remove immo for this to work. I was thinking that maybe i could ditch the whole arduino nano and only use the Colour MFA to controll the relays instead? The code i wrote isnt very long. This way it might be able to add an timer to when you want the car to start and so on. Not sure if this is possible, just an idea.
Would be a fun little project

Don't know about remote start, because ColorMFA is sleeping if car is sleeping.

I like the idea, even if it is not possible.
Would you share your arduino code here or in a private message?

There is no way to keep some of the ColorMFA awake when the Ignition is off? The extra power draw will be minimal I can imagine. Does the ColorMFA even have outputs that can controll relays? I'm using 5V relays meant for arduino with built in octocoupler.

I can send you the code, it's not 100% finished but 95%. If you PM me I can send it to you. You'll also need a breadboard with some simple wiring on it

me to like the idea, even if it is not possible.
