Does your keyless entry still work after installing an aftermarket alarm?

[Counselor]

I can't seem to get a straight answer on this one... Just picked up a 2013 genesis track and would like to install a remote start/two way alarm (Viper 5806v) and can't get a straight answer from the installers about whether such an installation would render the keyless entry useless. In other words, I'd like to know whether I can arm or disarm an alarm using the button in the door handle or whether I'd need to use the car alarm fob every time.

The answers I'm getting (even from a master certified technician) is either "yes" or "maybe but be prepared to lose that feature." I wonder if it's a matter of programming the bypass module properly.

Can anyone with an aftermarket alarm and factory keyless entry advise? Thanks!

Would also like to know the answer to this. Still have a Clifford unit in the box I never installed on my S13.

S13 as in Fastback USDM 240sx with Redtop SR20 swap and bunch of other goodies that I ended up parting out to fund my Genesis build. If your still interested you can see my whole build here: Xiaphin's Bye Bye NICO Hello Zilvia - S13 SR Forced Performance Big 28 DD Build

It was a fun car but I grew up and added two more doors.

Ok so here is the result of my research, after speaking with Hyundai service (in NYC where alarms are common), a master certified bestbuy alarm installer, and a master certified technician at Compustar (Viper customer service is non-existent), it appears that there is not a way to retain the functions of a smart key/button on door handle without tripping an aftermarket alarm.

However, I am told that one workaround is to go with a Compustar system and add on "EZgo" that arms and disarms/locks and unlocks a Compustar alarm if you are within a few feet of the car, thus allowing you to leave your keys in your pocket at all times, if that option pleases you.
