Default Went outside 10 min ago and car was running

I went outside just now and my car was running!!!! THe car started by itself!!! I have had the wiper 791 installed for about a month now and wierd things like that have been happening. The car sometimes studders one time before trying to crank again, the lights come on for no reason and now the car comes on by itself! anyone else had any trouble like this with viper?
thanks in advance

Dude, your wiring must be messed up. I bet you there was something wrong with your remote start or some of the wires got shorted together by mistake. Bring it back to your shop quickly before worse things could happen.

Ya the Viper has a feature called turbo timer and if you hit the remote start then the lock or unlock button in a speacial order it will make the car start on its own every 3 hours. Other than that it is almost impossible for the remote start to start your car on its own trust me. Good luck.
