It’s worth noting that no dealer/issuer of any warranty can deny a valid warranty claim simply due to the fact that an accessory was added, provided it’s installed properly.
You are correct with the fact that there is no value added but most people don’t do to add value , also I work for a dealer and no the warranty cannot simply deny claim , they have to prove that the installed aftermarket accessory caused the issue , now we as the dealer can ask to have the accessory in this case the remote start to be removed before diagnosing a car if the issue has to do with some electrical issue that may be affected by this .
Quick question… how long does it run for when your remote start it? And can you adjust the run time to be longer or how many times can you restart it after it cuts off before it won’t restart again without you manually starting it? I’m comparing this against my Honda Accord which will run for 10 minutes in 2 separate remote starts. However after that I must manually start it to reset the counter so I can remote start it again.
Nice video. I’m currently waiting at a shop as they are having it installed in my cx9 right now. I hope their are no issues w the app etc w locking and unlocking my car with the app. Going w this because their having a sale and it gives me longer range while I can use my oem fobs
TYVM. I’m sure they did. They helped me set it up and everything which is gd and I had to register the app w my credit card because it gives a 5 yr service and warranty which is great imo. It all cost me $340, and I’m hearing that’s a gd price but idk. I can also use my factory fobs now and start my car which should be standard from the dealer.
PRviewsvlogs thanks so much. I was thinking on the drive home that maybe I got ripped off, but your video/comment along w my neighbor tell me the price is a very good deal.
Thanks for the video ,Just ordered this from a box store here in BX NYC where it gets cold, not Chicago cold but its bad enough, my question is Do you need to pay a monthly fee for the app ? and hows 'the range on it ? I assume as long as you are close and connected to wifi you can start the car
Your welcome , there is a yearly fee , they have different packaged with different options , and as long as you have cellular service on your phone it will work doesn’t matter how far you are range is unlimited cause signal travels with cellular service like a text or phone call
Well I don’t own the car anymore but I did also get it installed in 2017 we had pathfinder there is a video for that car too , we currently own two cars that come from the factory with this feature in them . But to answer your questions yea as long as we had the system we loved them also my buddy installs these he’s just outside of Chicago in the Evanston area check out the pathfinder video I have his info is there
Not much to update on it , it still works , the smart start module itself is $99 ,plus depends the remote start you pick from viper , also some cars can be integrated to your key fob as well , there is a yearly subscription also and has different levels and different prices
No after remote start in mine I have to press the push button still , can’t just drive away , in your you still I see the key and turn it to the on position only
We can't set up the duration of the alarm ringtone on the phone app ? it rings something like 4-5 only seconds and then a text message, while my car's alarm system is firing out loudly outside without me being able to hear it from inside where I live. Not very convenient just 4-5 seconds... loll
So there is a subscription you have to pay for to use it , there are i believe 3 levels not sure of the prices , but the top of the line subscription lets you do this .
@@PRviewsvlogs I plan on having Best Buy geek squad install this next Wed. In 7 days. Do I just tell them ‘ please also make my regular vw key work for remote start?’ Or do I need to buy another remote?
So I only have the remote start no actual alarm , and yes the remote start and smart remote start module are separate, also the system goes for $300 and up depends where you buy them and who installs it .
Thanks for the video is really helpful. I have a question the you pay a subscription for the Viper system to use the remote start in the app, because I use Drone Mobile that I pay monthly $11.99 a remote start and it work sometimes and I’m considering changing to viper.
So I pay $69.99 annually to remote start the car , there is another option where I can have other features built into the system and does a lot more but I need the remote start only . Here is a link you can look at the plans .. www.viper.com/smartstart/serviceplans.aspx
I have the Nissan Altima with push to start. When I install this does it have to be started with the viper key fob remote? Or can I use the original Nissan key fob to start it as well?
Do you need anything else to install this remote start ? Because the car needs to detect the key in order to start. So maybe something to bypass the iMobilizer
If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the installation of this system? and don't you have to pay a yearly subscription fee for the app?
So I have been quoted $425 for a 1-mile range 2-way Viper Remote start system. Is that too much? $250 sounds pretty cheap for wherever you got it done..cuz for the viper smart start system, the person is quoting me upwards of $600 plus I have to pay a yearly subscription fee. So from my understanding, we can have any viper remote start system installed (even the 1-way ones) and all we need extra is the module for the smart start system? In other words, is it only the DS-4 system that needs to be installed or can we install any Viper remote start system?
I know that every state is different and most laws from what I know are for leaving your car running which keys or unattended , does not really specify remote starts just “car idling unattended “
@@PRviewsvlogs Well when you remote start your car is idling so how is that going to work? I have an aftermarket PKE ( Passive keyless entry) system installed with remote start and it can't be stolen without my fob and if anyone opens the door without the PKE fob the car horn will beep and the car will stop after 30 seconds.

Remember that old iPhone ad with the viper app back in like 2009? Good times

I’m comparing this against my Honda Accord which will run for 10 minutes in 2 separate remote starts. However after that I must manually start it to reset the counter so I can remote start it again.
So your comparing to a factory remote lost are like that , with these they can be set to 15-20 minutes and can be re-started as many times as u wish
just one question will this setup alert me if the car is bumped or hit?
If you get the full alarm system yes , the option I have is only remote start
Great great job brother But how do you know that the car is started thanks
There is a notification that comes up what the car starts
Thanks for the video

Are you still liking the remote start? Any recommendations on where to get it installed around Chicago?

@@PRviewsvlogs thanks
So after you remote start you unlock it and simply drive away, don't have to insert key or anything at all? (I have a Nissan Rogue sport with key fob)
No after remote start in mine I have to press the push button still , can’t just drive away , in your you still I see the key and turn it to the on position only

Can you add scheduled start times in the mobile app?
So there is a subscription you have to pay for to use it , there are i believe 3 levels not sure of the prices , but the top of the line subscription lets you do this .
10 bucks a month it costs for the feature
How do you make your factory car key ( a Volkswagen Tiguan in my case that ) into a smart start remote? Do the instructions come in the app?
You need to get this installed by a professional installer , you can’t activate this without access to a site that they have
@@PRviewsvlogs I plan on having Best Buy geek squad install this next Wed. In 7 days. Do I just tell them ‘ please also make my regular vw key work for remote start?’ Or do I need to buy another remote?
They should be able to make the key work with it
Which system do you have and how much was it ? Did you have to buy to separate system ?
So I only have the remote start no actual alarm , and yes the remote start and smart remote start module are separate, also the system goes for $300 and up depends where you buy them and who installs it .
Do you still get a key even with the smart phone remote?
Key?? Not sure what you mean , if you car has a key then yes you still have your key
@@PRviewsvlogs I mean does it still come with the remote start key as well at the app
Yes you can buy a system with remotes if you need them and have the app and remotes as well
Viper 4105v this is the viper I'm getting so does the app work with this ?
lol pro intro and then you hit 'em with a cell phone video.
iPhone video to be exact
Do I just need to buy Viper Smart Start if I have 2017 Ford Escape SE?
Is this plug & play or hardness cables must also be purchased if what part #?
You need to buy the remote start plus the module for smart start
@@PRviewsvlogs Then you are looking at close to $450 just to remote start the engine?
angelisone $500 for the remote start and the viper smart start depends who installs it and how
Much they charged you
@@PRviewsvlogs Price is too high. Not worth to put the money.
Thank for your time.
There's nothing on the app that says your car is running and it has a certain amount of time remaining?
Yes there is
Wats the range how far can u start it from how many miles away
Viper can do anywhere this work wicht tha phone app
If a vehicle’s battery dies or is disconnected with a Viper Remote Start system installed, does the system have to be reset or cause any issues?
No
Thanks for the video is really helpful. I have a question the you pay a subscription for the Viper system to use the remote start in the app, because I use Drone Mobile that I pay monthly $11.99 a remote start and it work sometimes and I’m considering changing to viper.

That would be a test if the car was left outside to see if it actually works in the shop is just like your garage at home no difference
It was left outside when I went into the store at the end of the video
I have the Nissan Altima with push to start. When I install this does it have to be started with the viper key fob remote? Or can I use the original Nissan key fob to start it as well?
As long as your installer can program your Nissan key to start it then your good , but your only limited to the range of the factory remote ,
@@PRviewsvlogs ok thank you.
I have a updated video on my pathfinder that shows this as well
@@PRviewsvlogs link please
ruclips.net/video/hlR1yUMIhJ8/видео.html
can you be anywhere around the world and it would start?
It works with cell signal so anywhere your phone has a signal it will work
Do you need anything else to install this remote start ? Because the car needs to detect the key in order to start. So maybe something to bypass the iMobilizer
No , there is no key needed for this set up , stay tuned I have a another video coming out , I just had it installed in the pathfinder.
Can you also stop it? Or does it only run it?
You can shut it off from here too
If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the installation of this system? and don't you have to pay a yearly subscription fee for the app?
I paid $250 and yes there is a yearly subscription, there is a updated video on my channel
So I have been quoted $425 for a 1-mile range 2-way Viper Remote start system. Is that too much? $250 sounds pretty cheap for wherever you got it done..cuz for the viper smart start system, the person is quoting me upwards of $600 plus I have to pay a yearly subscription fee.

Can u own different cars and have this on every car?? Or is just one car per account
Yes and no , you can own different cars within one account but you need to pay for every car individually.
@@PRviewsvlogs and how much?? Do u know??
@@XxXvelozXxX yes I mentioned it on the video
@@PRviewsvlogs thank you so much 😊
Does the smart start work for all viper ?
There is a specific one for this the system , and since they update every year you would have to go in vipers site and find out what system will work
Did you start the car with Bluetooth?
The car starts with the app , it’s not Bluetooth it’s thru signal from their server sent thru satélite 📡
Just a doubt. How can the car start if parked in incline?
Not sure if I understand your question . what does a incline have to do with it ?
@@PRviewsvlogs If the car is started via phone when parked at an incline, wouldn't it roll backwards?
The car is in park it’s not going anywhere
Cost of the subscription?
Depends on what plan you get , they a start at $79.99 per year
It's great but definitely doesn't have a Bluetooth range of 150ft. Not even close. More like 20, maybe 30.
What ? It’s has limitless range , your can start the car from anywhere
Can i start my truck in usa from serbia using the app?
Can this system work in Africa?
Not sure you always call Viper and find out
Does this app work with 2019 civics as well?
I’m sure it does ,
there is a new video I have with the link to the installer who does these for me
Highway miles lol same shit miles are miles
No it’s not , having the car constantly running at a higher speed is better then stop and go do your research before commenting .
