Alright I am getting ready to hook up my alarm and I have a couple questions I hope someone can answer. (-) ground when armed output. Where the hell do I hook this wire up to. I know you cant just ground it out to the chassis because it says the ground is only when the system is armed. Next is the (-) remote start activation input. No idea. Both of those wire are from the primary harness. If someone could please help me out it would save me a lot of work and stress! Thanks!

Usually the Negative Ground when Armed is for a Relay for your Start / Ignition Dis-Able.
The Negative Ground Remote Start Activation is to trigger a Remote Start

You don't need either of them. Tape them off.

The orange wire can be used to trigger window rollup modules among other things.

The WHITE/ blue can be connected to a timer module to start the truck at a preset time.

Both wires can be used for other things too....but they aren't necessary.

Depends if you are installing the RS unit. Even then the ground when armed is used in for the alarm portion as it was indicated above.

Starter kill, LED on-off, windows up, sensor(s) on, etc.
