        NO, NO , NOOOOOooo...you can't use a cell phone, the superspecial
        digital phone wave technology only works over a wired phone. The
        software patches will be scattered all over the neighborhood if you
        use a cell phone or a cordless phone, causing partial downloads of
        the Y2K fix to infect susceptible ECUs within range...rendering them
        useless!

        The fix in this case would be worse than the problem...

        There is a better solution in the works which will require you to
        affix your cellphone onto the cover of the ECU box, register your
        vehicle and cell phone number on our Web page and wait for midnight,
        Dec. 31, 1999, when we'll administer the Y2K fix to your vehicle's
        ECU. BTW, the vehicle has to be running at the time of the fix
        otherwise it won't work...We guarantee our work and will cheerfully
        refund your $50 (which will be charged to your credit card in November
        1999) sometime during 2000, if, for some reason your ECU no longer
        works after the Y2K fix.
