Lol ya I have a viper/python alarm system on my 7.3, and have no key holes. More than likely when your batteries are dead, you are screwed anyways. When my alternator died last and i had to leave it for a week batteries went dead, it wasnt really too big a deal. I just hooked jumper cables to starter and hit my unlock button. The ability to be able to remote start with phone is great, and the fact that I can track it via gps and get alerts by txt message is nice. Also if I have to let someone borrow it I can set a speed limit alert at whatever I want and it will shoot me a text if they are "speeding" lol! And when I go to park, when I hit "lock" on my phone it will ask if I want to save the location, so if you have memory loss issues like me, you can still find your ride lol. It has several different features and I really really like it over all.
