You can get a kill switch that senses voltage and when voltage drops below XX the kill switch will disconnect the battery. They're pretty cheap and easy to install.
RE: the Viper Smart Start. Love it. Not all the features work, like turn car on at certain cabin temp, or turn car on at certain voltage, etc... I was told this is because these features are incompatible with GM. If someone knowns different I'd like to know.
I always had communication problems using the smart phone app on Android, but never once been left with a communication error using the iPhone.
It's convenient, and I use mine daily.
Hope this helps

Google "priority start" or go to
http://www.prioritystart.com/. I bought one...haven't installed it yet. I just plopped in a Optima yellow top; we'll see how it goes.
