Need help to change the code to control a car using bluetooth or wifi on phone instead of a ir remote!

Using Arduino Project Guidance

The code i am using is as follows

#include <IRremote.h>

/*
   Left Motor
*/
// IN 1
#define LM_IN1    2
// IN 2
#define LM_IN2    4
/*

#define RM_IN3    5
// IN 4
#define RM_IN4    7


// IR receiver
# define RECV_PIN 10

IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);

decode_results results;

//HEX codes for buttons
#define FWD       0xFD8877 // go forward
#define LFT       0xFD28D7 // go left
#define RGT       0xFD6897 // go right
#define BWD       0xFD9867 // go backward

#define DEL       0xFDB04F // delete the stored sequence of movement from temporary memory(EQ)
#define RESET     0xFD00FF // Resets the Arduino Board(RED)


unsigned long int value = 0; // stores the incoming hex value
byte seq = 0; //stores the current number of executed sequences
byte seq_Array[50];// array to store the movement sequence in terms of integers(1 for FWD, 2 for LEFT and so on..)

//counter for counting the number of times program pass through a movement function(fwd, lft etc.)
int fwd_Counter = -1;

//global "current time" variables for different movement functions(fwd, lft etc.)
unsigned long int current_Time0 = 0;// for FWD movement
unsigned long int current_Time1 = 0;// for LEFT movement
unsigned long int current_Time2 = 0;// for RIGHT movement
unsigned long int current_Time3 = 0;// for BWD movement
unsigned long int current_Time4 = 0;// for STOP

//total time spend by the pgm in executing the movement(fwd, lft etc.) for a particular movement counter
unsigned long int total_Fwd_Time[10];

at the moment I am using a it receiver and it remote to control the car but now I wanna use my phone to control it....is there any way I could do that?

#2

The Arduino will be a piece of cake when you decide how and what you phone will send to it.

#3

well just like ir remote is there any app I could use to send some code and once arduino receives the code it follows the defined command.

#4

Hello
exchange the IR receiver against a BT receiver part.

#5

But what about the code?
