The problem there Kregg is that some of the wires have different functions, second unlock on 5901, gone by 5904.
I think your new name might well have to be either Kregg.22 or Kregg Airsoft. 02 Pontiac Grand Prix, Viper 5704 - Page 2 -- posted image.

Actually my grand prix is a 4 door. Hopefully these directions are for a 4 door and not just a 2 door.

None, except double the connections and diodes.

Also I wanted to get a little electrical tester. But my question is do I need a continuity tester or circuit tester. it was in 1 of the bulldog videos it lights up when you have the right wire or something like that.

Get a DMM with a 10 or 20 amp AC current tester.
A bulb tester would be dangerous for someone who like yourself isn't sure.
No insults intended but your questions bear out your levels of experience/skill.
You shouldn't even consider attempting a job like this with at least the following:=
Soldering iron
solder
heat shrink sleeving
required extra cable
diodes
relays
insulated tape AND Scotch 33+ for the solder joints you can't sleeve
DMM from Sears, Radio shack.
Philips screwdriver
1/4" socket set 6-13mm
side cutters quality crimper (not $3 in Walmart)
strippers
Stanley knife
cordless drill driver and 2.5mm and 7mm bits (3/16" and 9/32")
assorted size Philips and Torx bits for above
I wouldn't even consider making a joint without first testing.

Are there digital multimeters that I can poke the wires with instead of having to strip it? And by the way I have wired a car radio before.

A good quality DMM and a set of "Bed of Nails" test leads will work well.  Search on "Bed of Nails" for pictures of these leads.

You have chosen a very sophisticated alarm system to install.  It will require a lot of research, reading and learning to install properly.  It will provide an excellent learning experience.

Soldering is fun!

Craftsman at Sears, DMM 0348234400 about $32, "bed of nails" alligator clips (or croc in the UK) about $20, but go to a Sears and look around.
Solder
Portasol by Weller about $90 Irish and I never liked them especially when they used to be sold by Snap-On, Bluepoint badged for about $150 or for a one-off, Portasol mini for under $16.
I personally use Weller Pyropen and Pyropen Jnr., but the US price is believe it or not 50% more than the UK!!
Craftsman lists them as about $140 and $170, the UK prices are $90 and $110.

I got the bed of nails test lead adapters and going to borrow my dads dmm. And I already have a Weller soldering gun and shrink tubing and wire strippers. Anything else I'm missing?
