Thread: Viper Smartstart starts your car

After we've reported the soon to be released app for the electrical Chevy yesterday, this could be exciting news for all car drivers willing to invest some $300 to $500 bucks. The above picture could be the look of the new app from Viper which in combination with their car module will let you start your car remotely from your berry. Now, James Bond, we are coming closer! The app, already released for the iPhone, features

• Lock/arm
• Unlock/disarm
• Remote car starter
• Trunk release
• Panic or car finder
• 2-Way confirmation of commands received at vehicle
• Error messages if command not received successfully
• Vehicle personalization
• App passcode protection
• Password management utilities
• Button confirmation sounds

So let's hope, that the release for BlackBerry finally gives us remote driving as well. Well, with that hefty costs it is surely not an option for everyone, but I am sure, there are some luxury people out there, that cannot wait any longer.

Now what would be nice was if the car did not need a key to drive it just the BB in it.

fully agreed, I would love this, but with a hardware upgrade of my car in the range of several hundred bucks????

I have been integrating gps tracking systems in this manner for several years now....this is not new technology, just a different spin on it....

Probably another cost, over above the hardware, will be the monthly fee for having a data SIM card installed in your car.....

monthly cost for SIM in the car? Could you give us more insight on this, please?!

You are correct. But it's not a bad fee.

- Service plan required. One year service plan included. $29.99/year after the first year.
