Free Biz Idea: iPhone Remote Car Starter App
Posted on 2009-12-30 by Justin Filed Under New Business Ideas with 6 Comments
At Adept, we are always thinking of new ideas that would make life easier. The only problem is that we are marketing people, not engineers, programmers or scientists. So, we just post the ideas here and hope someone can make them a reality.
The iPhone Remote Starter App
I was sitting in my office the other night watching the snow fall and accumulate on the cars below. I wanted to call it a day but was dreading the process of thawing my car in the freezing cold. That’s when it hit me. Someone should create an app for the iPhone that integrates with a remote starter system in the car. Ideally, you could start your car, set the temperature, turn on your defrost settings and let it all warm up while you sit comfortably in your office chair.
To those of you thinking, “but they already have remote starters,” think again. The remote starter is limited to a very short distance for it to work. If you park your car 100 yards or more away, it won’t work. The iPhone app would allow you to start your car from anywhere you have cell service.
One other bonus would be having the ability to unlock your car via your iPhone. You’d never have to worry about losing your keys again. Zip Car recently released an app that allows users to reserve a car and unlock it from their phone. How cool is that?

Extremely clever idea – the key would be the price point. Can’t be a free Ap with the associated R&D cost but at the same time relatively affordable. Integrating it with existing technologies i.e. satellite radio, navigation systems, etc. could be one way…but I’m a marketing guy too and you know how marketing guys are…promote it, sell it and THEN develop it!
Haha… good point, Justin. A friend recently emailed me this link. Apparently it already exists!!!
