The Viper Smartkey Lets You Open and Lock Your Car Without Effort
Michael Baxter — April 11, 2014 — Autos
It's gotten to a point where conventional car keys are dying out and the Viper Smartkey is indisputable proof. The key uses the driver's iPhone to lock and unlock the doors of their car. There are automatic unlockers already, but even with those you have to push a button, the Viper Smartkey gets rid of all of that.
The system automatically unlocks the door to the user's car whenever they get close to it and automatically locks it when they walk away. The big thing about this is that the user doesn't have to take the phone out of their pocket or wherever else they store it because it works through the material.
The only catch is that it require a Viper alarm system or remote start system, but if you're in the market for the Viper Smartkey, then chances are you know all about auto-starts.
