No, this affects nothing else. Plenty of people have done it.

I would also suggest that it doesn't make your car"easier" to steal. No one steals Porsches because of these systems (don't tell the Kia guys that!). There's no way for a thief to know that yours had been bypassed.

And btw, even with the pill bypassed, it's still not possible to hotwire our cars. The ignition sequence deserves it's own book, but suffice it to say that there are VERY few people who would be able to start your car without your key. I know this because I've converted my car to a true push button start - no key involved - and not even I could do it in under an hour and without dismantling most of the dash in the process.
