One app that I would definitely use is a quick way to turn on climate control.
With the current iPhone app it takes more than a minute to launch the app, wait for the vehicle to wake up, connect and then select the "turn on" option from the climate control screen. I would love a "fire and forget" app that had a single function. Turn on the climate control. It would then go through the connection steps with the car in the background. Notification if it failed via SMS would be great, but not really required since it would probably be 95% effective most of the time.
An app-less approach would be to allow the control/climante commands via text message to a server - It could be configured to only allow receive enabled commands from certain source phone numbers.
Seems like an easy apps for all those developers that have created alternate mobile apps. Thoughts?
