ok, im new and not trying to tick anyone off. ive seached before posting.  and did not find the info i think i need. im a mechanic, installing my first remote start. seemed simple at first. (lol) viper 571xv in a 2000 alero. i really have no problem finding the wires to connect to. im confused by only one ignion 12v constant power source at the key and i need to hook up 2 wires? they are heavy gauge wires. i seen alot of relay diagrams on here but dont seem to see the one i need? how do i wire them to make 2 constant 12v power. because ill have to do the same for the accessories switch wire.  thanks for any help.  i did by a remote start cd install guide. but might take a week to get it.

the unit will have a few 250ma (-) outputs such as ignition, start, accessory. What ever power feed you require, you will take that negative ouput from tthe 5901, connect it to a relay

85 - (-) 250ma output from unit
86 - constant 12v
87 - constant 12v
30 - to power feed required,

so whatever negative output used from the 5901 to relay 85, connect the 30 to its respectful wire.
