did any one hear of this or tried it yet?

iphone has a viper alarm app that locks, unlocks, and starts your car.

Of coarse you need to install the applicable alarm to the car.

Yeah, the iPhone is mow a remote for the car.

WHAT!!!! Thats the next mod on my car!!!! no joking!!

 

yeah saw that. that **** will be expensive lol

 

is 500$ but a clifford or a viper with out the iphone stuff will run about 300+. For and extra bucks U get a bad *** alarm.

 

All Im wondering if you get a paged if you alarm goes off like if it will tell you from where your car got hit etc.

 

that will be awesome. btw i think you have to have a iphone with the data plan or else you cant do anything with the app.

 

If they have this technology, I'm thinking they'll eventually come out with an app that will be compatible with most if not all the remote start/alarm systems.

 

I think everyone who has an iPhone has some sort of data plan.

 

i dont have a data plan lol :P my campus have wifi everywhere. i am unlocked and on tmobile.

i really dont kno whats the point of it when i already can start my car with the remote key.

That was a very good question. i looked into it. This is what I found on the Viper web site:
New Application Features Coming Soon!
Vehicle personalization; adds capability to customize your application with a picture of your own car(s).
Password protection; adds capability to lock the SmartStart app separately in case you let others use your phone.
*************Push notification; adds security system triggered messaging (when installed with compatible security/remote start systems), confirmation of message receipt by SmartStart system, and more.

 

^^^^ Nice. But When would those update be available. I'm Seriously thinking about getting this. I have no Alarm in my car. (Altough I keep my car garaged and its not fully modded yet is always good to have something to back up your invesments lol.

 

I would be afraid of people who find the back-door to this app and steal our cars without breaking anything.

Just a thought.

 

I was thinking of getting this, but I came to the conclusion that aside from the "cool" factor, it's pretty much useless. You can already do all of the fuctions with your alarm fob. Sure it isn't restricted to a 1 mile distance, but how often do you need to start your car from a city away? Lol. Besides, taking your phone out of your pocket, unlocking it, starting the app, and tapping the button for whatever function seems like it would take longer than taking your key fob out and pushing a button. Just my opinion....
