Viper smart start security

Has anyone heard of Smart Start from Viper?
Is it worth the AUD$550 to install it?

Come to think of it, our keys sent encrypted information over the CAN-BUS to start the car, so would the Viper system even work?

Thanks for that.
I don't have a problem with the lancers current alarm system, haven't as if to say "had it tested" yet.
I like the idea of being able to control my car from my iPhone though, means I won't have to carry my keys everywhere with me
