This is all well and good, and even has some nifty features that I'd consider using. However........
After looking at Viper's website, I have concerns regarding the security of the phone app and the key fobs. What steps has Viper taken to prevent the hijacking of the signal from the fob, and what security measures have they built into the phone application to prevent man in the middle attacks? Not to mention, the device in your vehicle is talking to a cellular network. Has any pen testing been done with this system? How secure is it?

As there has been no response to my questions, I won't consider installing something like this in my vehicle until my security concerns are addressed to my satisfaction. I refuse to install a security system that has a potential to make my vehicle even more vulnerable.
