Compustar Piggy back module?

[gitrdun]

Has anyone seen a piggyback module similar to Drone (by compustar) that you can have mobile assess to your vehicle via a mobile app? It works by using cell phone reception, and you just download an app to start, lock and unlock your vehicle, has their been anything for the jeep with the factory command start module that you just piggy back?

I put a Viper Smart Start module on my 07 with factory remote start option. That allowed me access from anywhere with Internet signal to lock, unlock, start/stop engine, panic, paging alerts of system activity. The newest have GPS mapping as well. Other option can be hooked up as well.

Mongoose what one was compatible with the factory command start?

The Viper Smart Start is what I have in my '11, works great as long as there is some sort of cell signal.

Ekaz what model did you use?

I have the VSM250 cause I installed a Viper alarm at the same time. If you want to keep the factory alarm system and just add the Smart Start, you'll need VSS3000.
You will also most likely need an interface module. I have the DB-ALL in mine.

How friendly was the install for you?

Yes. Can be interfaced to work.

My friend wired it up for me while I was in Ohio last year, took a bit longer cause he didn't work on too many up to that point. He said isn't anything horrible, just more time consuming because of the push button deal.
Also, that reminds me, the DB-ALL is the only interface that I am aware of that will let you keep the push button. The other ones require you to remove the push button and use the key.
