#How to use viber in car over bluetooth Bluetooth

Many new cars come with Viper SmartStart's GPS features built-in. I could check it to see when I next need to run out and feed the meter, and it alerted me when the time ran out. Even more useful, the app includes a parking meter function that let me manually set how much time I had on a meter. When I hit the lock button on the app, a dialog box popped up telling me the parking spot was saved in the app's memory, and gave me the option to take a photo. Viper includes some convenient parking features in the app, as well. If the car was driven outside of that area, the Viper app shows an alert. With that, I could use the app to define a circular area around a central point. The GPS module enables a geo-fencing feature useful for parents.

The app also let me share the location of my car through Facebook or a text message, useful if I wanted to let a family member or friend drive it. With the Viper GPS module installed, I could share my car's location with family and friends. Even better, I could also view my car's current speed and direction, if it was moving. When I tapped the car button, it showed where my car was on the map. Touching the GPS button on the home screen brought up a map showing my current location. The included GPS module let me locate my car from anywhere I had a data connection. The cloud-based component of SmartStart allows a set of useful features for security and parenting.

However, if you have the Bluetooth module up and running, the unlock or lock command is also sent through Bluetooth, making it much quicker. The downside of the app locking is the time it takes, about five seconds. I could activate the locks from anywhere in the world that I had a data connection for my phone. As it sends a signal over its data connection to Viper's server, which then sends the lock or unlock signal to the car, there is no distance restriction.

The Viper app lets you remotely lock your car over Bluetooth or a data connection. Those fobs send an RF signal to the SmartStart system, not only activating the locks but arming or disarming the car alarm. Viper included two key fob remotes with lock and unlock buttons. Included with the system were a couple of other ways to remotely lock and unlock my car. The doors faithfully unlocked whenever I was within my set opening distance. And once the distance was properly set, I didn't have to mess with it again. I set mine with a close proximity activation, the safest bet, so that when I walked by my car from about 6 feet away it didn't unlock, especially important for curbside parking in a city. If your driveway is next to your house, you might want to set a close proximity, otherwise your doors might unlock and lock every time you go in and out of the kitchen. Getting that distance right will vary by your parking situation. I spent a bit of time adjusting the slider, walking away from my car and then turning around and walking back to determine at what distance the doors unlocked. Setting the distance for SmartKey to unlock the doors involves a bit of trial-and-error, as there are no distance markings on the slider control.
