I wonder if you would need cell phone service to communicate with the unit by using a used phone.

I doubt it. It's probably via Bluetooth.

I suppose 1 or 2 of you have been wondering about this. Well, finally gathered up enough parts to breadboard a mockup. Needs a little more tweaking but looks promising. Still may be quite a while before I can put a finished product on the truck and try it. Here is a better description: Speed Alarm For Cars Circuit Diagram (learningelectronics.net). Transmission control mods:

Remove everything associated with IC2d.

Replace VR1 with a dual TPI equivalent for IC2a and b.

Modify IC2a for continuous output instead of momentary.

Luckily I got the Compushift Mini 2 back when it was like $350 I believe. It doesn't require bluetooth to use but you can program/monitor everything with that. If you have a cheap tablet I'm sure you could use that, doesn't have to be a cell phone.
It is on my phone but I know some cheap android tablets are around $100-$150.

Controlling the Compushift Mini 3 is via Bluetooth, no cell service required. And, I believe Bluetooth is only required to adjust it - it should have factory default settings that will probably be good for 99% of people.

I have mine in the box, just not installed or played with it yet. But from what I've read, that's how it works.

The mini Kenworth semi with a miniature Cummins turbodiesel is indeed a cool project. The fact that Cummins built a custom engine specifically for this guy shows the level of commitment behind the project.

While some might argue it's a lot of money to spend on what is essentially a ""toy,"" I can see the appeal. If the owner is using it for advertising purposes for his trucking company, it could be a clever way to write off the expenses as a business investment.

I get that some might view it as an extravagant expense, but we all have our own interests and ways of spending our money. For some, it's cars, trucks, or other custom builds. For others, it might be collecting rare items or investing in unique experiences. At the end of the day, if it brings joy and serves a purpose, why not?
