Choose a connection time with the clock button. The app, Watch, and widgets use the same setting when the app can process their activity. In Bluetooth settings you can give each module a name of up to 20 characters; names stay on your iPhone.
Use the Watch app when your paired iPhone is nearby. The wireless indicator shows connection status, and the Watch can show lock, unlock, and valet indicators reported by the accessory. Tap Connect when SmartStart is disconnected.
The Watch’s wireless indicator gives quick feedback:
- Green: The iPhone is reachable and SmartStart is connected.
- Gray: The iPhone is unreachable or SmartStart is disconnected.
- Flashing blue: A command or connection request is being sent.
- Flashing red: A request failed or the iPhone could not be reached.
- Flashing yellow: SmartStart reported an accessory error, shown as valet mode.
A flash reports communication activity, not proof that the vehicle completed a command.
Add individual command complications or choose a three-button rectangular layout. Tapping a complication opens WireSTART on the Watch; Start, Trunk, and Panic ask for confirmation. The complication can display the last reported status, but its updates may lag.

Choose a single command or a group of controls for your Home Screen. On the Lock Screen, use individual commands or pair Lock and Unlock, or Start and Trunk. Start, Trunk, and Panic ask for confirmation.
The Home Screen widgets adapt to dark, light, and clear appearances. The wide widget lets you choose its large button.

Widgets reflect the most recent connection and command information available to them, which can take time to update. A Connect button appears when no SmartStart connection is known.

WireSTART is designed for the Viper VSM50BT. Available functions depend on your vehicle’s installation; Aux 1 and Aux 2 are optional. The Watch works through its paired iPhone, and iOS may pause background connections.
A status can show that a command was sent or acknowledged. Check your vehicle to confirm the result. WireSTART is an independent project and is not affiliated with Viper or SmartStart; those names belong to their respective owners.
