Marsdendean be good on turbo cars since you can let the engine get nice and warm, so you can just jump in and go without driving like miss daisy!

Sadly for me, even warmed up and ready to go.. I spend the first few hundred yards driving like miss daisy..... over the feckin :ShootingConfusedpeedhumps

How does it work then? Does the car have a SIM card in it? So essentially you can start/lock your car from technically anywhere?

^^ Dont think its a simcard based one (viper start), its a wireless unit installed in the car (not sure how the unit itself works)

but i imagine the actuall process is same as central locking, your within a certain distance and can do it,

not sure if there are simcard based ones for "anywhere" start/stop

It has to be though as it says "start your car from virtually anywhere"

If it works from a phone the only other alternatives are bluetooth or wi-fi - and of the three a SIM makes most sense.

Found it in the FAQs:

Your Viper SmartStart is an always-on connected device that communicates over the GSM/GPRS network. Just like a cell phone, your SmartStart requires a service plan from 3rd party provider to communicate over the network.

Which means there will be line rental involved - which seems a bit excessive for what is effectively a toy Smile

ahhh i see,

i'd prefere a wireless option like remote locking or something, that sim thing seems a bit OTT

plus, imagine, you wake up and find your car stolen, so in a rage you hit the "turn off button" and some robber somehwere looses all power and has a catastrophic accident?

i wouldnt want that knock on the door from police

I hadn't thought of that, I imagine it won't allow the engine to be switched off like that via the phone (only the remote start feature) but that would actually be brilliant!

And I'm sure I've seen stuff that can remotely shut a car down, lock the doors and set the alarm off but don't know if that's commercially available yet.

Mine is sim card based and if I wanted and had it connected could remote start my car from abroad lol

It also tells mr when the battery is low and if I wanted I can have it remote start due to low battery ...
