October 24th, 2010 Ann Droyed Amazing! Now you can run your car with Android smartphone with SmartStart Viper app! You no longer need to carry an additional remote or some distance to start the car. SmartStart system is a genius! Those following functions from the application of the Viper: Lock Unlock / Disarm Remote Car Starter Release Trunk Panic / Car Finder If you already have a compatible remote start system, you can pick up Viper SmartStart module of about $299. If you need the entire installation, it will start with $499. I must note that the service plan is required. When purchasing a module or the whole set, the year is included. After the first year you can run $29.99 a month for the service. You can download for free, but of course it will do you no good without the equipment in the car and the active subscription.

Viper SmartStart is an automotive accessory that can remotely control your car. Using an Android app and a piece of hardware, users can start their car from inside the house, open the trunk, lock the doors, or activate an alarm system. If you’re intrigued by those features, you’ll also be happy to know that Viper has dropped the price down to only $199 for the self-installed system of Viper Smart Start 2.0. “We optimized the design and engineered costs out to put Viper SmartStart within reach of as many customers as possible,” said Mike Simmons, executive VP of Directed Electronics. Customers can also take advantage of Viper Motor Club, which offers free roadside assistance via the SmartStart app. Users will be able to get help dealing with dead batteries, stalled cars, and keys locked inside through the service.

Directed Electronics has released its popular Viper SmartStart application for the Android platform, which allows drivers to remotely start their car, lock and unlock doors, pop the trunk, and more. You've probably seen their iPhone app featured in an AT&T iPhone commercial.   Be aware, it does take hardware in your vehicle, which you may not have and will need to have installed.  While applications like this may not be for everyone, it's great to see developers of top tier products supporting Android, it shows that they too see the potential behind out friendly green robot.  You can download the application from the market and at Viper.com , and it would be great to hear from anyone who's converted over from iOS and is using the iPhone app -- let us know how they compare.  Hit the jump for the full press release.

Posted by Comments The innovative ways mobile applications fit into our lives to add more convenience is growing exponentially daily. How about the ability to remote start your car to thaw in the Winter or cool in the Summer before you step in, lock/unlock your doors, pop the trunk, control multiple cars, receive alarm alerts or even sound the panic alarm all from your phone? Directed Electronics has brought their popular Viper SmartStart app to Android to do just that! The app is free to download and the first year of service is free, $29.99 per year thereafter. If your car is already equipped with the Viper SmartStart system all you need is the app. If you don’t have the system the price range is $299.99-$499.99 at local retailers which includes basic installation. If you’re ready to test drive the system, we’ve included QR barcodes above to download the app! Updating... You must be logged in to Read More
The Viper SmartStart app on a HTC Nexus One. Android users with Viper remote start systems who have wanted to use their phones to lock, unlock, and start their cars are now in luck. On Thursday, Viper creator Directed Electronics is making its Viper SmartStart app available on the Android Market, as well as through its site. The company released the same version of the app for iPhone users back in October and to BlackBerry users at January's CES. The app, which contains no new or additional features over those versions lets users start their car using their phone, as well as doing things like locking and unlocking doors, opening the trunk, and setting off the panic alarm. The app is free, though it requires that users have Viper's SmartStart security hardware installed in their car, as well as an active subscription to the company's $29.99 a year security service.

I would rather have a long alarm go off on my phone then a short notification if my truck gets broke into. Kinda dumb. Besides that it perfect.

For the $250 install plus $50 a year you would think it would work better. Do not rely on it. Carry your factory remote. The server goes down alot.

Doesn't work Purchased a brand new phone yesterday. Installed the app amd all i get is unable to communicate with server. Called tech support tried to tell me it was my smart start in the car. Told them it wasn't cause i still have my iphone on and it works on that. Put on hold and told that a new update was coming in the next day or two. Well see. Works great on my iphone

New version is worse than the old one. It crashes all the time. For about 3 weeks i was getting error 25 (no GPS signal), and after upgrading to new version of android app, i get error 30 and unable to use gps tracking at all. My authorized Viper installer is reporting the same issues with all of his clients. Viper's tech support is a joke. Even for dealers, they offer no help. They just recommend waiting another week for a fixed app to be released.
Aaron 3.0 stars
More notable than what it does is what it doesn't do. No customization is available. Opening the trunk requires verification, but engine start doesn't. No GPS ability without a hardware upgrade, but the hardware is already there. No ability to query status, such as armed/disarmed, running, etc. Worthless and easy to trigger panic button. If I am in a situation that justifies a panic button in a phone app, and I'm calling 911 instead. Does what it says reliably, but there is so much potential.

Rod 3.0 stars
Not worth the money... This is not true 2 way functionality...there is some convenience to being able to start vehicle from anywhere, but not worth the price tag by any means. Perhaps if the app didn't force close so much and with some improvements to the feedback from the vehicle....such as knowing whether vehicle actually starts and a run-time reminder...also some vehicles require 2 clicks of unlock button to unlock all doors instead of one for drivers door only. And being able to schedule starts for diesel vehicles.

Used to stink... I have had my system for almost so years and when I first got it it was rarely working. I wrote a very bad review but it has worked great and although the customer service can take some time to get through they are very helpful and tell you the honest truth about what's going on. I seriously couldn't live without this starter as a Minnesotan!

Very pleased now but wasn't always the case due to reliability. Have suggestion for future release. A lot more reliable than it was when I first purchased it a little over a year ago. Commands hardly ever do not go through anymore. One thing I do notice is the GPS for some reason always has my location off by a couple of streets and I wish some of the other features the particular module of viper remote start/security system I purchased were incorporated in this app. Such as cabin temperature. Can that please be incorporated into next update?

Works great, I have had a great expirence with this on my samsung epic. I was very hesitant about getting this remote car starter because off all the bad reviews but it has been problem free for 2 weeks. Starts my 2012 Ford explorer everytime.
