viper alarm system [?s]
I was just looking at some alarm systems and I saw that vipers keyless start isnt to expensive. Does anyone know if they are good, are they hard to install?

Viper is a very reputable brand of alarms made by DEI. They are not warrantied unless they are installed by a professional installer. The install of a remote start should take a while(8+hrs) your first time. Honda/Acura are some of the easiest cars to intall alarms on though.
If your car is a manual transmission, it is illegal to have remote start. It can be installed very easily but if you leave your car in gear, it will jump forward or backward depending on the gear. A typical remote start makes 3 attempts to start your car so if left in gear, it will go a good distant.

It only took me 4 hours to install mine, but I am very good with soldering and I found the wires really easily using a guide. I didn't bother with the remote start because firstly, I couldn't get it to work correctly when i wired it up and secondly, I don't need it.
I am going to figure out how to bypass the ignition controlled locks this weekend because I hate how it unlocks every time the turbo timer shuts off and I am nowhere near the car.

Mine doesn't do that and I use the turbo timer everytime I get out of the car. What kind of car do you have Schmoo?? Does a green key light up on your instrument panel when you start your car?
