This has been a game changer on cold mornings. I can warm the truck up, check the battery, and know where it is without leaving the house.

Description

Smart Starter lets you remote start your heavy-duty truck from your phone, it automatically starts your truck to charge its batteries and warms it engine, and lets you track its location with hidden GPS. It’s built for Class 7 and 8 trucks, model year 2013 and newer.

Will It Fit My Truck?

Smart Starter works with Freightliner, Volvo, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Western Star, Mack and Western Star trucks. It supports most automatic trucks 2013 and newer, and select manual trucks 2019 and newer.

How Hard Is Installation?

Installation is designed to be plug-and-play with no splicing of factory wiring required. Many customers choose it for DIY installation, and the included universal harness helps keep the process straightforward and OEM-friendly. We also provide live phone and video call installation support.

What If Something Goes Wrong?

Smart Starter conducts a pre-trip inspection before starting your truck, and continuously monitors your trucks oil pressure, coolant level, and engine temperature while running your truck. If something goes wrong it will shut down the engine right away, and send a notification directly to your phone.
