You wouldn't happen to have the WHITE/ blue "activation input" on the Viper hooked up to anything, would you?
Test all your wires, you should have the following:
BLACK/ white neutral safety: needs to see a ground or the remote starter won't work. (If you installed the toggle switch, the BLACK/ white should get a ground when the toggle is on; ground goes away when toggle is off.)
brown brake: must NOT see positive or remote starter won't work. (Should get positive only when brake on)
gray hood: must NOT see a ground or remote starter won't work. (If hood switch was installed, should see ground with hood open; ground should go away with hood closed.)

The white blue is hooked up to the PKUMUX and all the above listed wires are hooked up correctly.
I as well have nearly ten years of experience installing remote starts and alarms, and am confused as to why the vehicle is behaving as such.
I take a look at it tomorrow morning.

You have the wrong wire.  WHITE/ Blue is activation input.  Your Blue/White or solid Blue wire on the Viper is your ground while running wire...that should be the correct wire.

Scratch that, I meant the blue with white stripe, not the white, blue, THOUGH, I will check that out too when I look at it in the morning.

Ok, so I am a complete idiot. When I have trained people in install, the first thing I tell them is that 99% of issues are installer error...
That being said... The unit was a factory refurbished unit. I made an assumption that the activation on the keyfob was one press, like standard with everything else that comes out of DEI. Someone had set it to two presses...
The unit worked fine from the get go, no issues...
:P
Thanks for all the help though!
