    Hello! I have a Viper 5902 recently purchased from Amazon and when received it i went in a car service to have it installed but they told me they can't do it on my prius because it is a hybrid car. I bought it specially for remote start option but they told me it's impossible to put remote start on a hybrid card? So, they are not able to install it or it's really impossible?
    Please help me as i paid around 300$ for it and want to know to keep it if i'll have any chance to have it installed on my pirus or it's better to sell it?

    I can't say about the Viper, but some dealerships here in the states (mine) install aftermarket alarms - usually the KARR system. It is possible but somewhat redundant. The only extra features it offers are "non-scannable" codes, motion detection and fuel line disablers. Otherwise, the standard OEM system is OK on its own.

    Just out of curiosity, what does the Viper 5902 offer over the factory system?
