I liked the viper 791 series, remote start, two way remote, cool down timer, keyless entry. The only thing that really deters from getting it is most have a starter disconnect and wouldnt work on a diesel, youd fry their little solenoid first crank so youd have to come up with some creative wiring to prevent people from cranking. You could probably put a little relay on the wire coming from the column to the starter. I more just like the idea of keyless entry, cool down timer and remote start.

I just couldnt pass up giving you a hard time. Yeah if it got to the 30's over here I would probably wait for the light.
