Hi,
I have a Viper 5601 alarm/remote start that has a aux/trunk release button. When this button is pushed for 1.5 seconds, you get a single output pulse that can drive a relay (not above 240ma)

What I want to do is use this pulse from the aux/trunk button to turn a relay on, and have that relay stay on until I hit the aux/trunk release button again and the pulse shuts the relay off.

So I was wondering if they made a relay that would stay on with a pulse and turn off the the same pulse.

should be able to change the programming of the module...menu 2, feature 9.. switch output from validity to latched.

Hm, Well I'm using all 3 of the Aux outputs and I think menu 2, feature 9 is aux 1, not direct access trunk release. That's the problem I was having, If I could program the trunk release to latched, I'd be good to go. But I don't see any programing options for that unfortunately.

pac tr7 or dei 611t? and an additional relay possibly, depending on the current requirements.
