Sending commands to your vehicle
Whether you want to remote start the engine, lock/unlock the doors or pop the trunk, there are
3 possible ways you can send commands to your vehicle, using the:

• Aftermarket remote.
• Directed SmartStart application via your smartphone.
If applicable, you can also start the engine remotely by pressing the Lock button 3 times quickly
on your factory remote.

Get In and Go
Get In and Go is designed to provide users with easy takeover when entering their Push-to-Start
(PTS) equipped vehicle, once it has been remote started.
Typically, users would have to remote start their vehicle, then get inside and press the PTS button
to perform a takeover. There is therefore a physical action required to drive away. With Get In
and Go, you simply remote start the vehicle, unlock the doors, get in and go... All that's left to
do is put the gear in drive and drive off.
