Because to be a OnStar clone the device would have to have a cellular radio and thus be a subscription service to use.

What does OnStar have to do with an aftermarket car starter?

Because the OP wants to start it with their PHONE.

Without a OnStar type technology on board this would have to be done via BlueTooth or WiFi somehow.

Well, if it uses the cell network there is going to be a monthly cost involved.

Requirement #4: "A Viper SmartStart service plan."

Yep!
