Video- post it to YouTube, you'll have to create a YouTube account first. Link the account to the email your phone uses. Then just "forward" the video to YouTube. YouTube its self will walk you through the steps of posting.. Once posted to YouTube you can post the link here.

I have a Viper too. The installer shop didn't set the remote start crank timer correctly. It only cranks for a second, needs to be about 1.5 or 2.0 for cold mornings.
