Viper VSS5000 & DEI VSS5000 SmartStart System WITH VSM250 / DSM250 GPS SMART START UPGRADE

Car security and remote start system with smartphone connectivity

Connect with your car by phone and the SmartStart App

Viper's VSS5000 SmartStart System lets you use your smartphone or similar device to control the functions of your vehicle from a remote location. Connected to the Cloud via the Viper SmartStart App that you've downloaded to your device, you can monitor and manage your security system, lock and unlock your doors, pop the trunk, or start your car. If your phone has service, you can communicate with your car and control many of its functions remotely, even if you're hundreds of miles away. When you don't have service, you can use the included 4-button remote, which has a range of about a quarter mile.

The Viper SmartStart Secure service plan

You'll need to get a 1- or 3-year subscription to Viper's SmartStart Secure service plan in order to take advantage of the features SmartStart has to offer. The plan's most valuable and reassuring feature is membership in the Viper Motor Club, which entitles you to free roadside assistance, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year — a great feature if you need towing, a new battery, or a tire.

Vehicle security

The system uses features like Starter Kill, which prevents hot-wiring, and a dual-stage shock sensor, which warns you if someone tries to get into your car. The system's 6-tone siren chirps an early warning in the case of an intrusion attempt, and then unleashes an ear-splitting blast if the intrusion continues, chasing away crooks and attracting attention. Whether you're travelling, dining out, or going to a ball game, you can be sure that your car will be exactly where you left it.

Vehicle screen status

For your peace of mind, the SmartStart app includes a Vehicle Status screen that shows you whether your car's locked, armed, running, or has a door open, for instance. If anything disturbs your car's security system, SmartStart will send an alert to your phone and a text message with the details of the occurrence.

More smart features

Every time you use your phone to lock your car, the SmartPark feature remembers where you parked. To return, you press "Find My Car" and SmartPark shows you a map to your car accompanied by any helpful notes or photos you stored there. The unique SmartSchedule feature sends you behavior-based reminders when it's time to start your car, taking into account your commute time and outside temperature. The Parking Meter keeps track of the time remaining on your meter, alerting you when it's time to go feed it more coins.

"Siri, open SmartStart"

That's right. If you have an iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 upgraded to iOS 6, you can use Siri to gain access to SmartStart verbally from wherever you are, as long as you have phone service. SmartStart works with all iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices as well as Android SDK 1.6 or newer and BlackBerry OS 4.5 to 6 devices.The Home Control feature even allows you to access and control your Alarm.com-powered home security system from your smartphone, so you'll know your home is safe and sound while you're away.

Top Gear vs Tesla: High Court rules no libel

Wed, 19 Oct 2011

Top Gear did not libel Tesla High Court rules We’re sure you remember Tesla getting uppity about the Top Gear Episode where Jeremy claimed the Tesla Roadster has run out of charge after just 55 miles on the track at Dunsfold. Well, that little spat has now reached the High Court in London. But it’s not good news for Tesla.

Jaguar F-Type gets custom luggage from Moynat

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Moynat’s custom ‘Trunk’ for the Jaguar F-Type Roadster Luxury car makers manage to extract big sums of money from owners who want custom accessories for their vars, and Jaguar is no different. But this particular piece of custom luggage for the Jaguar F-Type has been made as a one-off by French luxury luggage makers Moynat to celebrate opening their first store outside London. The F-Type ‘Trunk’ (and it will only fit the F-Type Roadster) was created in collaboration with Jaguar and is inspired by Moynat’s famous ‘Limousine’ trunk.

MG Design Centre opens in UK

Thu, 17 Jun 2010

The opening of MG's new design center this week at the historic production site of Longbridge, Birmingham, England was both an incredible and credible occasion. Incredible, because the brand looked dead in the water after the debacle of MG Rover's collapse in 2005 and even after various Chinese takeovers, its UK operation seemed destined to play no more than a tokenistic bit part. And thankfully credible too, because now all of MG's global design will genuinely be led from this new facility in the epicentre of England's traditional motoring heartland.
