Still, this is one of the most innovative apps we’ve seen in a while. It allows the iPhone to replace your car remote control altogether.
The Viper Smart Start app offers you exactly the same features a regular car remote control would give you, but it does cost a bit. The in-car module alone costs 300$, and you can’t use the app without. But it’s way cooler than a regular car remote, and that’s because you don’t have to be close to the care to use it. You can lock and unlock the doors, open the trunk, start the car and turn on the heat in the car remotely from virtually anywhere, because the app uses the cellular network to work.
The service is free in the first year, but they plan to charge 30$ a year for using it afterwards. Mention the http://thenewestgadget.com
