I am having trouble installing a viper 160 xv remote start system on my 1997 nissan pathfinder. When installing the relay harness of the remote start system to the ignition harness of the car, I am confused. The ignition harness on the car has 6 wires:

1 WHITE/ purple, 2 WHITE/ blue, 3 BLACK/ white, 4 RED / yellow, 5 BLACK / YELLOW, 6 RED / black

The relay harness has 8 wires:

1 purple starter output to starter, 2 green starter input from key, 3 red 12v input, 4 orange output to acc, 5 red 12v input , 6 pink output to ign, 7 RED / white 12v input, 8 pink/white output to second ign/acc

I understand what to do with the 3 12v input, but am confused from there.

the WHITE/ purple is 12 volts, the WHITE/ blue is an accessory wire, the BLACK/ white is an ignition wire, the BLACK / YELLOW is starter 1, the RED / yellow is starter 2, and the RED / blue is an accessory wire
