The SmartStart system will be temporarily offline 2/9/2010 at 10:00pm PDT while we upload software to support planned updates to the app. The outage will be kept to a minimum and we hope to complete the update in approximately two hours. However, as a precaution, we recommend that you plan on carrying your conventional RF remote fobs. We apologize in advance for any inconvienence.

What is Viper SmartStart?
Are you tired of carrying around another clunky remote control on your keyring, or finding yourself out of range when you really need to warm up or cool down your car before getting in? Now you can remote start or lock and unlock your car just by pushing a button on your iPhone or iPod Touch; using the exciting new Viper SmartStart app from Directed Electronics, the leader in vehicle security and remote start.
The simple graphical interface gives you control over the following features of your installed Viper remote start or security/remote start system:
  • Lock/arm
  • Unlock/disarm
  • Remote car starter
  • Trunk release
  • Panic or car finder
You can also control multiple vehicles – great for families! – and assign more than one user to control a vehicle. It's easy with SmartStart!
