[APP] WORKING Viper SmartStart APK for those having issues...

---

I don't know if anyone will find this useful, but I am hoping that at least one person will...

I bought a Viper SmartStart system for my Jeep. Absolutely loved the idea of being able to lock/unlock/start my car from anywhere in the USA where an internet or WiFi signal is available. Everything was great until one day....

The app from the Market would say "unable to connect. please try again later..." the instant I tried to use it. It was doing this even over WiFi, so I knew the app had an issue, and not the phone/service.

So after writing to bitch at the company, I received a beta app that works 100% of the time now! For those in the same boat that haven't had the time/gumption to complain, I am attaching the apk, so we can get back to enjoying our 2-way alarm/remote start services.

Highly recommend this product if you live in cold areas or have to leave vehicle in a less-than-stellar area. I'll spare you the commercial but it IS worth it (assuming your car is too!)

OMG!!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
I have been soooo pissed that mine has not worked since I got this phone!

You are my hero my friend!

LOL so was I...make sure you keep a copy of this archived. I also unchecked the auto-update box in the market. I'll never update this as long as it keeps working properly.

Glad you found this useful, I was hoping at least one person would!

SmartStart operates on its own satellite receiver. When you start your vehicle using your phone, a signal is sent to the satellite, then back down to your car's receiver. It's got about a 5 second delay, but works pretty well.

One thing to keep in mind, SmartStart requires a subscription ($50 a year) to use as advertised. There is a kit available to add a remote and remote receiver, but that kind of defeats the whole purpose of the SmartStart system.
