Take full control of your vehicle from your smartphone with iDataGO — the companion app for your BLE-enabled iDatastart CARKIT remote starter system. With iDataGO, you can: - Start, lock, unlock, and open the trunk remotely - View key vehicle data, including battery voltage and cabin temperature - Access advanced diagnostics (when supported) like fuel level, odometer, and tire pressure - Manage your paired transmitters and system features directly in the app. Bluetooth connectivity means no subscription fees — but also means control is limited to Bluetooth range (typically within 30–50 feet of the vehicle). Designed for convenience and peace of mind, iDataGO puts the power of your vehicle at your fingertips. Note: Features may vary based on vehicle compatibility and system configuration.
