Directed SmartStart 4.0 from watch

Directed Electronics was named a 2016 CES Innovation Design and Engineering Honoree in the Wearables category for its Viper SmartStart 4.0.

TheĀ  Viper SmartStart 4.0 released in September, allows remote start from an Apple or Android smartwatch (as well as from a smartphone).

Users can tap on their watch to remote start the car, lock or unlock doors and find their car. With the GPS option, they may also track a car on the watch. They can also remote start the car by voice using Siri and Google Voice to generate commands.

Drivers can also follow turn-by-turn directions back to their parked car, pop their trunk, hit the panic button, and receive low battery alerts all from their wrist.

The app is backwards compatible with Directed current remote start and Viper SmartStart systems. The annual fee for remote start from a watch or phone is $70 or $99 (or buy 2 years and get the 3rd year free).

The Viper SmartStart 4.0 app is now available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. It will also be on display at CES in Las Vegas in January in the North Hall 1 booth 1321 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
