Works great
Nikomix VJ
I have installed a avital 7350l then add a direct start module work 99/100 no problem at all the reasons I give a 99% is because needs a update for iOS 8 and fix the notification because we don't know if the car is running or if is locked or unlocked the only massage we saw is ( refresh to update) So please don't blame to this product if your system doesn't work with the cellular signal. Most be your cellular provider I used T-Mobile even if I don't have signal I can turn on/off or lock/unlock my car over wifi calling service.
Major Bugs
King Cayden
This app is virtually a useless tool that never works when needed the most. For the life of me I cannot understand why after all these overwhelmingly poor reviews nothing has been done to update or improve all the bugs. The GPS times out very often and while I do understand the delay this thing just flat out doesn't work right. I don't write reviews but this lack of an App really motivated me to make future purchasers beware of this App as a selling point because it's not worth it!!!! Please Update this Damned Thing Already!!!
Awful

First of all this app is poorly designed in iOS4 style and looks like cheap chinese software. Second - it asks for registration which is useless for my SmartKey (yeah I'm outside of US and I cannot use GPS version here). Bluetooth works strange, my Clifford 5906x sometimes open/closes doors when I inside the car. Cannot select another vehicle, only useless demo one. Also it shows stupid messages every time you click lock/unlock and you have to tap again to close it.
Make it Compatible with the Apple Watch

I think it would be nice if you can control your car with your watch. But other than that it works ok (very slow)
Way Better - Great New Fresh Look and Feel

I have 3 vehicles with smart start. 1 - Digital w/GPS 2 - Digital w/o GPS Both work great and get all accurate status/vehicle info. Also works 50% faster at the minimum!!
Fantastic! Excellent!!

DO NOT UPGRADE TO NEW VERSION

After owning an iPhone for over 5 years this is the first time I felt it necessary to review an app. I am now sorry that I installed the direct system in my car. In the upgrade you will lose many features. You will lose the satellite view on your Map. You will lose the ability to view location history. And there are more. You gain absolutely nothing. It's incredible that they could even put this out. Especially after people have paid hundreds of dollars for the equipment and service. Despite what the app claims. I've had the older version for over a year and the first time I accidentally remote started my car is with the new app. Also the app randomly alerted me to three false unspecified alarms with a sound siren on my phone that supposedly occurred a day earlier. I have done hundreds of app upgrades on my phone and have never come close to level of DOWNGRADE with this. I wish I could return to the previous version.
Not ready to come out!

I must have had my phone to update automatically, and I regret it. Lost the ability to use google maps when locating my truck and though it looks nice, I believe the older yo was easier to navigate. Do yourself a favor and wait for the update.
WARNING!!! Needs Update!!!

This update has too many bugs! When I'm on the dashboard, kicks me out and keeps glitching. I have to force stop this app and reboot MULTIPLE TIMES! I have to log on 20 times a day!!! PLEASE NEW UPDATE!!!!!
