Well, I have a WinMo phone and a Clifford Matrix system, so I don't think I'll be utilizing this feature anytime soon. Seems pretty nice though, especially if you can get alerts to the phone.
I just got mine installed yesterday and it's pretty nice. I typically park on the roof of a parking garage three blocks from work, so it'll be nice to have my truck warmed up when I get there. I like not having to carry around the key fob. I have my keys on a D ring and carry only my truck key with me until I need to unlock the house.

$200 to add on to an existing system. I wish I could see the use and need but for the additional cost, it just doesn't work for me. My 5901 has a 1 mile range and hasn't failed me on distance yet and I park in a parking garage too.

I think I paid around $600 for the viper 5901, I got it almost 2 years ago. The app is free to download on the iphone. Best Buy charges $300 for the add on.

The total cost of the unit, including install in my truck and running a bypass block for the chip in the key (instead of surrendering a key and wiring it into the system) was $638. The good thing was that Best Buy offers 18 months same as cash for purchases over $499, so at least I have that going for me. I did not have a Viper system at all, so it was the $499 system plus install of the $80 bypass. An additional drawback is that it's $29.99 per year after the first year. I will be testing the range for the first time today. I will start it from the office (three blocks away). I'll keep you posted on the functionality.
