Reviews of Directed SmartStart

  • Clifford Remote

    I bought a used car that has a Clifford remote starter. One of the remotes has no lights on it. I can’t lock or unlock the car. I can’t even start it. I don’t have any manuals for this remote. I would like to have a manual for it. Every time I look online it brings me to the Vipers Remotes. Hopefully someone can help me out.

    Developer Response

    I guess I’m confused; what do Clifford remotes have to do with the Directed SmartStart app, and why would you leave a 1 star review for the app given it has nothing to do with your existing system? You can reach consumer support for all of our brands by phone at 800-853-0600, or find a Clifford retailer by entering your zip code here: www.directed.com/contact/where to buy. Keep in mind your system can also be used with the equivalent Viper or Python remotes. The FCC ID number on your existing remote will identify it to support or a retailer. Thanks, the SmartStart team
  • Love the app

    I had the alarm installed with the key fob, however, it was difficult to start my car unless I’m in direct sight to the car. I then got the app and service for the year. The app is great and convenient especially for the winter. My only problem is, it’s draining the heck out of my battery. I had to replace the car battery already this past July and now, I’m getting low battery notification again. I’m not sure what’s wrong. Is anyone else having similar problems?
    Other than that, I love the convenience. With Kia’s theft on the rise, I have some peace of mind with the tracking system and the lockdown feature if necessary.
    I don’t want to get rid of it, so I need some solutions to my battery issue, please.
  • Apple Watch interface

    It would be better if user can change the vehicle (if you have more than one car) on Apple Watch interface.
