It's one of my life goals to build a custom home. Being the geek that I am, it needs to have a Smart Home system. And if I have a Smart Home system, why not a smart car system? :D However, I'm having trouble thinking of a good name. It needs to be short but techie. Here's what I've got so far:

Ziggy/Ziggy Mobile
iHome
Sparta/Sparta Mobile
iHouse
Hal9000
KITT
Domestic Systems Engineering
Eureka
Total Home Control (THC)
Serenity/Serenity Mobile
Ground Control

Nothing is really striking my fancy yet...suggest away...

Keep it simple....

Home Control and Car Control

Of course, I haven't checked if either of these two names are being used yet.

Nah, it needs to be more catchy than that. "Home Control" is kind of generic. But I don't want it to sound goofy like, "Yeah I have an XL700J system installed in my house", you know?

Then add some numbers at the end. That seems to be the thing to do in the last decade.

Home Control 2010
Car Control 2011

Regardless of the name you go with, it should basically say what your product does. Good luck! :)

ETA - And what would be wrong with a homeowner saying they have 'Home Control' installed and they're thinking about adding 'Car Control' as well?
