Easy door access with BTM-182 and Arduino Pro Mini

I am thinking about ordering the Bluetooth SMD Module - Rayson BTM-182 from sparkfun, but not sure if I am able to use it for what I want to do.

I wnt to connect it to Arduino Pro Mini 328 - 5V/16MHz from sparkfun to make a compact unlocking device for my house, so every time I get close to my door with my phone paired I would open the electronic lock. I might need tiny lcd and buttons to choose a code, but that would come later.

would it be possible to do it with this BT module, and if so could anyone help out with the program codes, since I am new to Arduino.

If anyne also know of a way to make it even more compact and cheap, please tell. My best option would be to implement this inside a electronic lock or as a tiny box close to the lock, but inside the door frame.
This might also be used to lock/unlock door on a car so it could be used with lot of things.
Best option would be with sms, but the modules are larger and seems harder to program since you need a code with password and make it work with a carrier.

Not found anything useful information about this BT module when I google.. That is why I posted here, hoping someone had knowledge about the module.. Maybe even tried out something with it.

I did find this .doc file that might help me.. I`ll try to find out when receiving the parts.

This device can either be a slave or a master.

The real problem you are going to have is getting it as that it appears to be perpetually out of stock. I've been waiting for it for months.

Good luck.
