A buddy showed my this app so I downloaded it on my iphone. I already had a viper remote start system so I skipped out of work to get best buy to install the required hardware needed that allows the iphone to talk to the remote start system. Subscription is required but the 1st year is free, $29.99 after that per year. This thing is crazy, starting my truck with my phone!
im guessing u get messages no matter where you are now if someone messes with your truck

I don't know if you get messages. The Smart Start app didn't say anything about it. I think this app needs a little fine tuning though. It wasn't working this morning with a couple tries so I redownloaded the app and reset my phone and then it worked. Later this afternoon the same thing happened. I think it's easier to start my truck with my remote start control on my keychain anyway. I might ask for a refund if the problem persists. Of course I know that best buy is going to blame apple and say it's the phone and apple is going to blame best buy and say it's the hardware.

my buddy just got this for his lightning. its pretty cool, he can call his truck from anywhere and start it. and it notifies him if the alarm goes off.
Dangit! You beat me to it! I was going to get one of those
Paralyzer: As far as range, as long as your car gets cell phone reception, you can be across the planet and still start/unlock/lock your truck.
Patman03SprCrw: You can put an additional passcode lock for that app so if you give your phone to someone else (or lose it) they can't mess with your vehicle.
Currently there is no two way communication, but the app developer has said that it's coming soon. Be on the look for an update.
I don't need to start the truck from really far away, but I wouldn't mind the ability to recieve alerts. I have a 2-way system, but I wish it had a longer range. It's the "1-mile" system.
thats pretty awesome... gotta get one of those so I freak people out when Im away from home.... lol
