X3 Remote Starter with OEM keys - anyone tried this kit?

I saw this ebay listing for X3 remote start system with existing oem key fob. Is it safe to install? or Does it void the warranty?

I am pretty sure it will voild the starter electronic part of the warranty. The remote starter requires a transponder bypass in order to work with the X3. A transponder bypass will make your car a lot easier to steal.

my service manager told me that they use fiber optic cables on a bmw, so you dont want just anyone cutting into those. He also informed me they are reluctant to put them in because of tha.
