NEW SmartSchedule

Part weatherman, part mind reader!

What is SmartSchedule?

SmartStart's new SmartSchedule is patent-pending technology that sends smart, behavior-based reminders to you when it’s time to start your car. SmartSchedule triangulates scheduling, weather and location data to generate these predictive start reminders.

SmartSchedule allows you to establish your commute time and temperature parameters – and the new cloud-based feature is very easy to set up. Enter your daily routine into the SmartSchedule section of the app (including what days you work and normal commute times) – and the app will take care of the rest. The app will continuously monitor the temperature, location and scheduling variables from the cloud. SmartStart will ping you with alerts when appropriate.

For many of us, our smartphones become the center of our lives, reminding us of appointments, keeping us up on the latest news, letting us know what friends are up to, telling us how to get to places, and even being a conduit to pay for products or services. At the same time, many new cars don't require a traditional key, instead letting us use a plastic fob transmitting an RF signal to unlock the doors and start the engine.

Directed, a company known for car alarm products, integrated the functions of that plastic fob into the phone, making one less thing to carry in your pocket.
