Viper is one of the top shelf brands.
Even though the 5701 is an entry level system, it should be flawless unless the unit your friend bought isn't working right or the install didn't go so well for him.
I'm thinking about adding the same security so later on I can add the iphone system, I 'd recommend buying from a legit retailer and not ebay.

While I would generally reccomend having these professionally installed, if you are looking for help on putting them in this is a great resource for info.

It takes an average alarm/stereo shop 4-6 hours to properly set up & program an alarm/remote start and accesories like trunk, window controls. Installation would be high on a scale from 1 to 10. The installers deal with stuff everyday but it's still complicated enough that it takes em this many hours.

One thing I'll say about Viper,,, and all Directed Electronics companies is,,,, there customer service SUCKS! I bought a Viper system not long ago and had a question regarding the starter kill system,,,,, they have three different names for it,,,, 'Automatic Engine Disable' or is it 'Vechile Recovery System, or is it 'FailSafe Starter Kill'. Anyway,,, called up technical support,,, but they won't talk to me because I'm not an authorized dealer. What a bunch of crap. The guy I spoke to said 'well you can't call GM up and ask about your car can you,,,, same thing'. I told him to to tell his boss is they aren't GM and next time I'll be buying another vendors product. He didn't care.
Keep that in mind......

Anti-Carjacking Feature (VRS)
VRS is a user-operated anti-carjacking system. Once activated, if your vehicle is carjacked, 30 seconds later the siren will start screaming for help and the lights will flash. When the carjacker pulls over and turns off the ignition, the starter kill will activate, which should prompt the carjacker to then abandon your vehicle for eventual recovery.
Failsafe starter kill
Failsafe Starter Kill The vehicle's starter solenoid will remain connected unless a thief attempts to hot-wire the ignition switch. Failsafe Starter Kill keeps the vehicle where you parked it: No unauthorized user can operate your vehicle once you've armed it, even with your key. Failsafe = peace-of-mind.
Automatic Engine Disable
Automatic Engine Disable Automatic Engine Disable (AED) is designed to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be disabled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. To start the car, simply disarm the system with the transmitter.
If you would have simply researched it further you wouldn't be bitching about it. And do you think they don't give out install info for a reason????????
They sell VEHICLE ANTI-THEFT devices!!!! Why would they take a chance on giving someone info on how to disable their product?????????
So next time you choose to rant on a public forum know your **** and use common sense!
Keep that in mind.......
(BTW their tech support was great for almost any question you would have. But you need to be a licensed installer to know that.)

BTW, you might want to have your keyboard checked - it seems to have a sticky comma key (unless that's some new form of punctuation or for a language other than English).
Let's not let this degrade into a flame war. The OP asked for installation assistance not opinions on the company or product. I won't hesitate to lock the thread if it gets put of hand.

It is very important that you install the diodes as recommended to isolate the door locks on both doors.
