Remote starters are always a popular holiday gift in Northern climes, so particularly lazy shoppers will be heartened to learn one can be downloaded on iTunes. The Viper SmartStart from Directed Electronics is an iPhone-compatible remote starter capable of warming up or cooling down a car! Even if you’re not a fan of letting your car idle in a parking lot, Viper says the SmartStart could come in handy for remotely locking or unlocking the doors, popping the trunk or even sounding the car alarm. Is it reliable? Who has tried it?
yea the thing is, if someone stole your phone, you are screwed. Then again i do like the idea, specially starting in the winter
