I got close to getting it to work...although it's a convoluted system that requires "arming" the system since remote starting a manual transmission adds to the complexity. However, after one attempt to remote start ended in all of my dashboard warning lights coming on...I stopped testing it. It took me a little effort just to clear everything and get the car back to normal. Maybe this summer I'll try to test it again or start trying to remove it from the car.

Anyway, back to the question....this remote start system will start the car but you can't drive it unless the key is in the ignition and it is turned on. So, it doesn't appear to completely bypass the SKREEM. BUT they must have done something to bypass the SKREEM since theoretically, the car will start with the remote start. To drive it away, you need to enter the car with the key. So how did they do that?

For what it's worth, here are the manuals that I've downloaded for the Viper/Clifford system. download manuals
