3) Using the DEI FOB does not arm the alarm.
4) The padlock security light on the dash does stay on when the vehicle is remote started, even after the key is inserted. One must turn the vehicle off with the DEI FOB and then turn the vehicle back on with the key to get rid of this light.
5) Installer said he had to use the auxillary port on the DEI starter to run the bypass so the rear defrost does not work. He said he could try a separate bypass, but I'd have to go back for that. And he said it may not work due to the wire pulse, etc. etc. etc.
While it works, I am not sure this is the system to go with due to the various compromises.

Wow H3.007 that sounds rather complicated and painful. I am wondering if you emailed DEI these 5 items if they could confirm for you if it is connected properly. Let us know what model Viper they installed, and what DEI says if you decide to drop them an email. (Note: it sometimes takes them awhile to respond to emails.)
