2005 dodge ram 2 way alarm / remote start

Ok, great, thanks!

Noted: will test everything before connection. Glad you mentioned it or I would have assumed..

You are correct, it has a WHITE/ brown and white for the light flash relay.  I will connect the parking lights to it from the switch. The manual was a littel confusing to distinguis between what to do with the WHITE/ brown and white.  Now I get it.

It appears I will not need to use the H2 auxillary 8 pin harness at all.  Unless there is something I'm missing? I don't want to connect the horn and don't think I need the factory arm/disarm for any reason.  Unless I'm missing something...?

I don't need to connect to the door trigger + input on the Viper as the ilink has the (-) door trigger output on the yellow/black wire.

I figure where I am now it determining what wires I do NOT have to connect.  When knowing all wires that must be connected, I should be able to figure from there.  At least for hte most part. :)

Ah, yes, I have factory alarm. 

So now my uncertainty sets in when looking at the ilink wiring.  It's shows "lock/arm (-) input GREEN/ black", and then "disarm (-) input brown".  I took this to mean arm/disarm for the Viper, not the factory alarm.  This wiring in the ilink manual is part of the "data" w2w wiring.

To futher confuse me, the dodge truck wiring states " Factory Alarm Arm PURPLE / lt. blue   -  driver kick, door harness

With that said, perhaps the ilink handles the arm/disarm for the factory alarm and I don't need to touch the (-) 200mA factory arm and disarm output wiring on the Viper?

What I'm saying is with the w2w connection for the lock/arm (-) input is already connected to the Viper green wire for (-) lock (+) unlock output...as the ilink indicats it's the same wire (GREEN/ black)  So, I still need to connec the ilink "disarm (-) input brown" to the (-) 200mA Factory Alarm Disarm Output" on the Viper.   I only need to connect that one wire in the H2 Aux 8 pin harness.

Well, it appears the ilink is wanting the disarm wire connected.  It's a dotted line from the ilink to the RS.  The disarm is a spearate wire only labeled disarm (brown) on the ilink, but the arm is also lock.  So..if I do w2w it appears the brown wire would need to be connected.  Kinda sucks as it appears the only wire on the 8 pin Aux H2 harness will be the factory disarm wire (light GREEN/ black).

I'm really starting to think the the rs232 data connection between the RS and ilink is the way to go...

Well it doesn't really ask for it, but it is shown with dotted lines to the RS.  If I just use the D2D it'll be covered.  I think the D2D will make this a lot easier.  I think that'll be my plan. Hopefully that communicates nice and smooth for me.

I think I have the rest of the wiring figured out and ready to go.  Assuming wire colors at this point, of course, I can verify once I start the install.

I was hoping I could throw out my wiring connections and ask you guys to check it out just to make sure I'm correct.  That something you guys would be willing to do?  If cool with you, I'll post it up along with the truck wiring off this site.

Thanks again for all the help. I know it's frustrating to answer such basic questions.
