control of your vehicle right from your Blackberry, iPhone or Android device. Perfect for those chilly winter months, the Viper SmartStart can start your car remotely from inside your home and have it warmed up, defrosted and ready to roll before you even walk out the door. Worried someone might take your whip
for a joyride while you wait? Don’t be. The Viper SmartStart is also a state-ofthe-art alarm and security system. Lock and unlock your car, arm and disarm your alarm, hit the panic button and remote start your car—all from a free app on your smart phone. The app also includes a SmartPark feature, which

remembers exactly where you parked every time you lock your doors. With step-by-step directions, you’ll always find your ride, no matter where you left it. Your car can even communicate with you, Knight Rider– style, by sending you text-message alerts if your alarm is triggered. Now that’s smart. $599, Best Buy, multiple locations, 888.237.8289, bestbuy.com.
