That's the same Alarm/Remote Start/Turbo Timer I have in my truck, Viper 791XV

Absolutely loved the remote start last winter.
Make sure you have a supply of AAA batteries, the remote eats them like candy.

I actually bought it after narrowing down to it a few dei/viper models and searching google. One of your posts came up and I found it cheap enough, so went ahead and bought it. I have ~8 weeks of weeknights to install it before the truck's running.

Good luck, I didn't even attempt to install myself, let the pro's tackle it.

Very well worth the $200+ they charged me.

Online is probably the cheapest way to go, but then your stuck installing it yourself,
any local stereo shop should carry them or be able to get them, and they would be able to install.

Here's the exact store I got mine from:
http://soundmart.zoovy.com/product/DEI-791XV

but if you don't want the pleasure of hooking up all 65 million wires, any competent stereo shop should be able to do it.
