Default Viper Alarm with remote engine start

Hi,
has anyone fitted a viper alarm system, with remote engine start, into their td5 D2?
Just looking for any help on the wiring installation.

Many thanks

Assuming you are across the pond with a TD5 where I think Discos are targets, I guess this becomes important. However, with the already at times “challenged” electrical system of a D2, I think you’d be nuts to install an alarm. I think alarms are one of the quickest ways to introduce a myriad of electrical concerns in most any vehicle unless it came from the factory that way..

But that’s my opinion. Should you move forward, I’d be looking for the least intrusive way to get it done and I’d stay far away from things like the BCU, SLABS, or any other controller like that. I say that because resistance across a circuit can cause issues and once you splice something in, the CAN might might go haywire. But again, that’s my opinion.

That's for reply.
I'm from the UK and looks like this system is from the US. Most of the wiring seems OK. Just some of the terminology and relay name leave me a little unsure
