i just recently had a viper alarm system installed in my celi, I was just wondering if it messes up anything when I use the remote start? should I use it less? or its completely ok for the car? thanks for any info

It's completely safe for the car... unless you have a manual and decide to leave it in gear!

i think auto-starts are illegal, due to the clutch overide.
this pops up especially to my attention 'cause today i had my car frontend sat upon by another car.
other car (97 nissan altima) had an auto-start and left it in gear. okay, so he started it, but was left in reverse, car went over two curb-median strips and his rear bumper ended up on my hood. this ruined my carbon fiber, scratched my bumper/fender, and ruined one of my headlights. it was the oddest accident scene. an accident with two parked cars.
so, obviously i am anti-remote-start.
had a disposable camera in my car so as soon as i get them developed i'll showcase the horror.

thats not a bad price for a viper install. my good friend can hook up a clifford alarm with remote start and other goodies, plus install for less than $300.
