Thanks for the feedback people,
this thing is really flash based so i could export it to swf and let other people integrate it with their frontends, unfortunatelly i don t know anything about integration and don t have enough time on my hands to learn.
This is going to be geared twords people that want to monitor their dsatx continuously, so yes, a count down timer will be shown, together with temperature and voltages i guess.
There is one more feature that is the reason behind me building this app, which is a possibility to delay the shutdown but this requieres a small firmware modification by jeff. Take this scenario for instance, i get home, the wireless network connects and starts syncronizing, i turn the engine off, the app senses that and presents me with a menu: shutdown now, delay shutdown with 15 minutes, delay s/d with 30 minutes, i press the appropiate button, lock the car and go home knowing it will get to sync and shut down.
The drawback so far for my app is that it requieres a serial to tcp/ip software converter. There is a free java version of this available, but it ain t all that stable. Anyone have any other solution for this?
I could use some projector software for this, but i don t know any free one with comm port access

/edit: comfoolery seems to be the best bet for rs232 to tcp/ip conversion. If anyone has the 1.0 version without the nag screen please let me know
