I actually have it connected to that wire. The problem is that wire goes to the rear handle which only works when all of the doors are unlocked, so pressing the unlock button twice then pressing trunk will pop the trunk.
According to the wiring guide posted in the link below there is a positive trunk motor wire in the fuse box. Do you think I could use that instead with a relay? I am not sure if just pulsing positive to that will work. I would like to know where the wires for the interior trunk release button are run, that button works fine when the doors are locked and if the car is running.

That's what happens when the cars' computer fights you and tries to control things.
Going directly to the trunk lock motor wire will work but I believe that would require a relay with a 5 wire connection.
Not sure on the interior trunk release switch. It might work if it's not a Data type signal.
Soldering is fun!

Thanks for all of your help during this.
Is it normal for the doors to unlock when the viper sends a disarm? They are on different wires on the idatalink so I thought it would disarm without unlock?
I did stumble upon a problem today. If I unlock the door with the key the Viper still thinks it is locked so my starter kill is still engaged and I can't start the car with my key unless I unlock it with the viper remote. Could be an issue if the viper remote battery dies. I am thinking of hooking the ground side of the starter kill to the ignition status wire instead of ground when armed and keeping the positive on the ignition posiitive wire. That way the starter kill is only engaged when the car is running and the viper's ignition is set to on. That is of course unless you have a better suggestion or see a problem with that.
Unfortunately it's going to be a pain because I decided to unpin the wires I didn't use for a cleaner install. I'll need to bend the pin clip back and put it back in the plug.

That would be a normal action for the vehicle to unlock upon disarm as you are using the UNLOCK button to disarm. And normal if you unlock the vehicle with a key. The Viper brain is still in the Lock/Armed mode. Your key does not send any signal to tell the Viper brain anything has changed.  Keep you remote charged.
When all else fails, Read the Instructions

I'm referring to when the Viper starts or when it pops the trunk it sends a pulse to the disarm wire. This disarm also unlocks the drivers side door.
