Ever thought of starting your car using your mobile phone? Well now you can, but only on GM cars that is. GM has developed a new mobile application that would allow customers to have several accesses to their upcoming cars the Chevrolet Volt, and a wide range of 2011 vehicles under their umbrella, like Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC.

Once you install the OnStar app onto your vehicle with an active subscription, you’ll be able to start your car using your smartphone, besides checking the battery levels. Things like remotely activating the horns are also possible. It’s available at both iOS and Android platform.
