it was my understanding that most hybrids didn`t even use the starter to " start " the gas engine .. the computor simply fired the next " ready " cylinder and it fired right up .. a fellow co-worker had one and i never heard a starter engage

Yeah, because you know that i they can track your phone on GPS, shut it down or wipe the data remotely, you know that they're only a step away rom enabling the microphone and/or camera and viewing it remotely.

Which may be cool. I'm sure most of us would want to know who to put the boots to when someone lifts your cell phone!
