Hi there,
I'm installing a Viper 4816V (and 556UW immobilizer bypass module) in my Acura CL (2003, Type S manual, key to start)
I have been referencing the wiring diagram here: https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=29894
I have most wires connected, but am lost at the alarm disarm/arm wires. I have installed a command start before, but I have never had to interface with a factory alarm before.
As my RS FOB doesn't have unlock/lock buttons, I'd like to maintain my factory FOB functions and not set up the alarm portion of the RS.
According to the diagrams I've found, I am to connect the alarm arm/disarm wires to the factory door lock wiring. If I do that, will this cause the RS to unlock my doors during remote start? Will it lock after the car starts?
My car is manual, do I also need the "remote start activation wire" connected as per the manual here, or is it optional? Where would I connect it? https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1355288/Viper-4811v.html?page=35#manual
The last time I installed a remote start, it was in an 89 Civic, and I used an automatic RS that used the e-brake as the only ground trigger to allow it to start, so this is a fair bit more complicated than I anticipated.
I appreciate any help you guys can give me.

It says disarm without unlock is blue inside Driver’s Door At Key Cylinder or may also be found at the security module underneath the passenger seat.
Use the Green/Black: (-) FACTORY ALARM DISARM OUTPUT from the Viper.

I was probing wires all night trying to find the right ones. I ended up routing the lock/unlock wires from the driver's door to inside the cabin, thinking I could use those to trigger arm/disarm. They are both activated by ground, and the alarm sends a ground signal to disarm prior to start. There is an option to arm after start too.
I'll try the blue wire first and if I can't find it or it doesn't work then I'll do my idea as above.
The other thing is, I have two clutch safety switches it seems... I'll need to do some more research.

White/Blue: (-) REMOTE START ACTIVATION INPUT
This input wire is used to manually activate/deactivate the remote start sequence by pulsing it to ground (programmable for single or double pulse activation/deactivation). It can also be used to activate the Turbo Mode feature of the system if attached to a ground through an optional momentary switch and the Timer Mode feature is enabled (see Activation Pulse Count or Turbo Mode in Feature Menus for more details). Additionally it can be used to activate Manual Transmission Ready Mode when connected to ground through an optional momentary switch.
So you can use a button that you mount in your dash to activate the remote start or just press the Viper FOB to activate so yes it's optional. Please make sure to connect the door trigger and parking brake though to properly set up the ready(reservation) mode on your manual transmission vehicle. If your civic was only using the parking brake to enable a remote start then it wasn't very safe. The reservation setup insures a safe remote start each time.

Follow the Black/White starter wire from the steering column to the clutch relay. There should be a thick Black/Red wire that goes directly to the starter motor. You can connect the units starter output to it.

I hooked up the power and ground to the RS brain today to try and program some features. I'm learning now that I can't program any features using the single button remote. Does anyone know of a cheap 4 button viper remote that will work?
Could anyone help me verify this wiring for the brain too? I planned on setting up anti-grind. I am referencing the install in my Civic (5303 viper) to make this work, but I'm hitting roadblocks and the stress is getting to me.

Big progress today. I forgot to plug in the included "neutral safety switch" toggle, so that's why my car wouldn't even attempt to remote start. I also didn't have the 2nd ignition hooked up. I am able to get my car to crank using the remote fob.
However
I cannot start my car with the key. The starter won't engage. If I unplug the ignition harness from the alarm brain and jump violet and pink/black, I can start with the key. I have no idea what's going on here. I'm assuming this is something to do with the "flex relay" but I can't see what.
Since I can't start my car with the key, I can't program the tach.
Any ideas?

Is the viper armed causing a starter disable condition?

no, viper is not armed. I have no way to arm it with the single button remote.
