Intelligent Access and Viper Remote Start

I recently discovered that Viper makes a remote start module controllable from your smartphone. This is a feature that you can already get on certain GM models and I don't know why Ford is behind the times. Anyway, my Titanium has IA. Is there a way to bypass this and make it work? Pictures? Guides? Tips? Tricks? Anyone done this?

Thanks in advance!

I'm by no means an expert, but I think only the oem remote start is compatible with IA. Although as a side note it would have been cool if Ford had implemented a smart phone app for all their new cars.

Has anyone had post-factory remote start installed? I see it as a factory option on Ford.com, but it's not listed in the accessories section as a dealer-installed add-on.
