The Ultimate Car Geek Accessory?

It wasn’t long ago that I was writing about a Zipcar iPhone app that allows customers to use their iPhones as a car key fob. Now, you can have that functionality in your own car.

The Viper SmartStart is a car security system with its own iPhone app. For 500 bucks, you can have a system that makes it possible to lock and unlock the doors, start the car remotely, open the trunk or hit the panic button — all from your iPhone.

Very cool.
