This can upgrade basic car to futuristic one enabling driver to interact with his car. The original remote of factory car needs help of phone’s Bluetooth to activate automatic door lock/unlock. Thus driver’s phone becomes metal car key. Apart from factory’s security system, this can offer higher security level.

CarKeeper＋ holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudDVR has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of CarKeeper＋'s written reviews are positive against 13% of CloudDVR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CarKeeper＋ ships an update every 6 weeks, CloudDVR monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
