I preordered one. I think I might see how to use meshtastic to add remote start. Should be able to have bidirectional status and huge range.

The magnet is the antenna mount type, but I personally would use one of the roof rack screw points, to act as structure and a ground plane connection.

Meshcore uses a Repeater & Companion Node setup where as Meshtastic is more peer to peer.
Here’s a quick video showing the concept I had in my head.
