Start your car from virtually anywhere!

Car owners can now do away with their clunky car remote control on their keyring. All they need now to remotely control the car is an iPhone or iPod Touch; using the new Viper SmartStart app in conjunction with the Viper system in the car.

The graphical interface of the app gives you control over the following features:

Lock/arm
Unlock/disarm
Remote car starter

The same app is also available for blackberry users. For more details on the apps and the Viper system visit the Viper SmartStart web site.
