Wanna stop carrying around your Viper keychain? The Viper SmartStart iPhone app lets you remote start, lock, and unlock your car by pushing a button on your iPhone or iPod touch. The Viper SmartStart app’s main screen looks like a keychain with a clean interface containing 5 main buttons: Lock, Unlock, Trunk, Panic and Smart Start. You can also do things like turn on the and A/C, the heater, and defrost your Window from far away in the parking lot. The app requires you to have a compatible Viper system in your car with a SmartStart service plan which cost about $29 per year. You can also control multiple vehicles if you have loved ones or family members and assign more than one user to control a vehicle.

The Viper SmartStart systems sell for $499, and if you already have a Viper SmartStart system with a keyfob, the module costs $299. The Viper SmartStart will be available at Best Buy stores starting today. The Viper SmartStart app is developed by Directed Electronics.
