Responder LE is the most advanced and user-friendly vehicle security and remote start system in Directed's history. The owner is able to start the vehicle's engine with the push of a button from up to 2,000 feet away and receive confirmation on the remote that the vehicle has started and is either warming up (in the winter) or cooling down (in the summer). The 2-Way remote will also make an audible tone if the system's siren is sounding within range of the remote, alerting the user to a possible break-in attempt.
Viper Responder LE was recognized with a prestigious Best of Innovations Award at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), one of Directed's eight Innovations Awards. The award reflects the company's #1 market share position in aftermarket Vehicle Security & Remote Start. These are Directed's thinnest and most advanced 2-Way remote controls ever, with an ergonomic patent pending industrial design, made to fit the user's hand comfortably, enabling effortless and intuitive single-handed operation.
Other key aspects of the Responder LE remote are the GhostLights(TM) that enable 2-Way operation of the pink remote, confirming that commands sent to the vehicle have been received. These GhostLights are LED indicators concealed in the bezel, which can only be seen when illuminated. Each Responder LE Special Edition system comes with two pink remotes: one 2-Way transceiver and an identical 1-Way transmitter.
Responder LE Special Edition systems supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure are available at http://www.viper.com/ and at Viper retailers in North America with an MSRP of $479. For more information and a store locator, please visit http://www.viper.com/
