Presenting you the
concept
car!Inspired by https://xakcop.com/post/re-2.4ghz/
It is very similar to
dickie
car both in exterior and functionality, only difference is protocol.Signal analysis
Car's remote is labeled as 2.4G, so whe know where to start with.
To find exact frequency we need to position controller near the hackrf antenna and use any sdr visualizer, with gain and amplifiers tuned to minimum.
When exact frequency is found (2.417G) the next step is to decode signal. My go-tool for signal analysis is universal radio hacker.
This is overall picture after setting correct signal parameters:
The remote is sending signal in batches of 4 packets of 164 bits. When remote is idle it repeatedly sends one batch of 4 "sync" packets.
When button is pressed, remote starts sending batches of another 4 packets, and after releasing the button remote continues to send sync packets.
Two-way communication
When the remote is switched on, it starts flashing with red indicator until car is turned on, after which indicator turns solid red.
However, i coundn't find how it works, no packets are being transmitted. Maybe it's in another frequency. Car works fine anyway. It works even without sync packets, just control packets are enoughUPDATE: yes, it's another frequency. When switched on, remote starts transmitting similar batches of 4 packets on 2.405G, only with longer pause between them, after receiving response from car it switches to 2.417G. Maybe it's some kind of strange channel negotiation... Anyway, car is working even without it.Problems
It is unnecessary, but probably that is the reason of laggy reaction.
