    The VSS3000 was installed today (took 5 hours). Here are my experiences with it:

    Using the smart phone app will make the car lock/unlock/remote start if the car is off.
    If the car is remote started, the lock/unlock app will work as long as you don't enter the car.
    If you open the car door or push the brake pedal, the car will shut off it remote started.
    Once the car is on, the lock/unlock feature doesn't work on the app (no pitstop mode).
    You can use the app to lock your fob in the car if the car is off.

    I'm sad pitstop doesn't work, it was the main reason for going with an aftermarket over the oem. Besides the app, there isn't much difference between the two.

    Edit: Pitstop mode works using the method laid out in this thread.

    1. start car and drive to destination
    2. exit car
    3. hit remote start
    4. hit lock on app
    5. return to car (can use door handle to enter or just unlock)
    6. drive away while never turning off the car.
