Viper VSM550 SmartStart Pro Module
Product Overview:
The Viper VSM550 SmartStart Pro is the ultimate upgrade for your vehicle's security and convenience system. It acts as a high-speed link between your car and your smartphone or smartwatch, providing virtually unlimited range for vehicle control. Using 4G LTE connectivity, it allows you to start, lock, and track your vehicle from anywhere in the world, provided your phone has a signal.
Key Features
World’s Fastest Connectivity
The VSM550 is engineered for speed. It utilizes advanced 4G LTE/3G technology to ensure that when you send a command from the app—like "Remote Start"—the vehicle responds almost instantly. This hardware is significantly faster than previous generations and offers ultra-reliable coverage throughout North America.
Advanced GPS Tracking & Monitoring
This module adds comprehensive GPS capabilities to your vehicle. You can view your car's real-time location on a map and set up advanced alerts. SmartFence notifies you if the car leaves a specific area, while Speed Alerts keep you informed if a driver exceeds a preset threshold. It even includes a Lockdown Alert to notify you immediately if your vehicle is moved without your permission.
Full Vehicle Control
When paired with a compatible Viper remote start or security system, the SmartStart Pro gives you full access to features such as:
-
Remote Start: Warm up or cool down your car before you get in.
-
Lock/Unlock: Secure or access your vehicle remotely.
-
Trunk Release: Open your trunk for hands-free loading.
-
Panic Button: Trigger the alarm to find your car or deter threats.
-
Two Auxiliary Channels: Control windows, dome lights, or other custom features.
Vehicle Status & Diagnostics
The Viper SmartStart app provides more than just control; it offers peace of mind. You can check the real-time status of your car to see if it's currently running, armed, or if any doors are open. It also monitors your battery voltage, sending an alert to your phone if the voltage drops too low, preventing you from being stranded with a dead battery.
