Vehicle security specialist Viper has launched its latest keyless vehicle entry system, Viper SmartKey, which it says provides hands free, keyless entry and exit from a vehicle using Bluetooth technology, controlled from the Viper SmartStart smartphone app.

Viper SmartKey creates a wireless perimeter around a vehicle that responds to a smartphone via the cloud-connected technology of Viper SmartStart. Compatible with any Viper security or remote start system, the phone simply needs to be within a given range of a car when entering and exiting to unlock or lock the door.

Viper SmartKey is controlled through the latest version of the Viper SmartStart smartphone app, Viper SmartStart v3.2, which is available for free download on iTunes. The app includes one-touch range programming for passive entry, interactive range display and an advanced system to manage automatic locking when a vehicle is being loaded or unloaded.
