ACK, what I was trying to state was it in no way bypasses the immobilizer. The only time I psuedo bypasses it is when it remote starts. At ALL OTHER TIMES the immobilizer is fully functional. If you get something like this

Where there's a will there's a way. I will concede that the average good-guys remote start install does bypass the immobilizer, but that's just because they don't know what they're doing.
