ZipCars Can Now Be Started By iPhone

Posted by Steve Anderson Published in Business, Cars, car audio

We’re all familiar with the ZipCar by now, that car rental line that offers driving freedom to urbanites who don’t want to bother with the hassles that come with owning a car. But what you may not be aware of is that, if you have an iPhone, you’ve just opened up the entire world of ZipCar.

iPhone users will now be able to lock and unlock ZipCar car doors remotely with their iPhones, as well as start their engines remotely. Plus you can even locate and reserve a particular car from the ZipCar lineup with your iPhone.

Seems that one third of all ZipCar customers use iPhones for one purpose or another, and so, offering iPhone connectivity represented a significant advantage to ZipCar users. This in turn helps fuel brand loyalty.

It’s a smart idea for the ZipCar company, and if you’re an iPhone user who’s looking for a rental car, ZipCar may just be your ticket after all.

For car owners who want a reliable car alarm system, Viper is a name you can rely on. Though Viper has had a lot of car security systems in the market, here is something that should take car owners to the next level of car alarm systems. The Viper 5901 Responder Two-Way Security System features a 2-way hybrid security remote start system good for as far as one mile.

The remotes have a 20% larger LCD display and comes with 3 side mounted buttons. With this remote, you don’t have to worry about battery changes as it comes with a rechargeable battery. For recharging, it has a mini-USB charging port to make sure that you don’t run out of batteries when you want to arm and disarm the remote at times you need to use or get something out of your vehicle.

Viper Responder LE 2-Way XPRESS Start Kit Now Shipping

Posted by Brian Published in Accessories, Cars, Industry

Motorists who are always in a hurry would try anything to speed up their travel plans and this starts from the moment you want your engine to start running. For some cars, it takes some time for engines to heat up and now, here is an innovative way to go about it with this new remote start interface kit that should go in hand with the modern day models of many 2008+ Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles.

This new technology is actually present in the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan which can be remotely started in 28 seconds. But the best part of it is perhaps that it only takes less than 15 minutes to install and only needs 4 wires to be connected. This device is now available for purchase for only $299.
