the biggest benefit i think is that if you live in a cold area during the winter, like i do, it heats the interior of ur car, so you do not freeze when u sit down
and i can not really think of any disadvantages, nothing at all

At $850, I'd only be interested if it comes w/ two remotes, unless you can not only remote start, but remote drive backwards using the reverse cam (similar to Tomorrow Never Dies).
[edit] Actually, I wonder if that auto-unlocks your doors? Or does it keep your doors locked, but just starts your car? If it auto-unlocks your car, that could be bad (someone could capture the transmission and replay it at a later time).
