Some of you may be familiar with remote start for car. It brings about much convenience especially during winter time and it seems like there is really nothing much to improve on this key fob-based system, but if you own an Apple Watch, you could actually do that right off your wrist – thanks to Connect2Car and just-announced Connect2Car Apple Watch App. In fact, Connect2Car will let you do more than just starting car remotely; it can also let you lock and unlock doors and locate your parked car with real time distance and map indicator.
Working in sync with Connect2Car aftermarket units, Connect2Car can also alert you of speed limits, lets you check your driving history, alert you if a car crosses a preset boundary, and function as a car security control too with vehicle alarm notifications in the event if the car is being tampered with. The real kicker here is, it does all that right from your wrist, so there’s no need to deal with your smartphone or keyfob. Since the system uses cellular connectivity, it does not has range issue key traditional key fob have.
Connect2Car app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch is now available on AppStore, free-of-charge, but you will need to pay for the hardware, which starts at $139 for a basic plug-and-play unit to $199 to more advanced units that required installation.
