Viper 5706 DIY simple install without Remote start for 2nd Gen Tacoma

Edit: It is actually a 5706V not 5704
Took me many hours to collect this info so I thought it might help someone. This is the first alarm I have installed so recommend you keep that in mind if you try to replicate this. It was pretty straight forward though. There are a lot of great threads on this topic but some were for different models or had broken links.

Goal was a simple install of Viper 5706 on a 2012 Tacoma. I wanted a good 2 way remote but didn't care much if it had remote start but most alarms seem to have remote start. The remote start install seemed like a pain and also in my nonprofessional opinion, defeating OEM security measures like "key sense" didn't make a lot of sense. Maybe I will add it another time.

I also included the DEI backup battery, Tilt sensor, Glass break sensor, and an extra siren.

I was able to access all the wires needed between the fuse panel area in the cab and the kick panel (did not need to wire anything at the actual ignition area but used wires headed there from the fuse panel area).
Here are all the wires that I connected (there are tons more but were either for remote start or optional):


Here is where I got most of the great information on where to find the wires and how to disassemble the interior trim:

I did find some helpful YouTube videos but they were more general to alarm install.

It still made quite a mess, but I felt that I maintained the integrity of all the factory wires. I soldered all the connections. The alarm could be easily removed if I don't like it.


here is where I put the tilt sensor:


Anyway it was an interesting DIY project. Saved some money. With Black friday deals I think I paid a little over $400.
Like I mentioned this is my first alarm install so I might not be much help if you have a problems with a similar install but feel free to ask.

Forgot to add the manual.

 

I installed the same alarm and included the window modules for all 4 windows. It's been great except the battery for the remote stops being able to retain a charge after a couple years. Luckily, Amazon sells replacement batteries. The remote start wasn't difficult and I love being able to warm up the truck on days like today. As far as defeating the purpose, the alarm is supposed to immobilize the engine start when it goes off, so the remote start feature isn't going to make it any less secure. The engine will shut off if you press the brake pedal without having the key in the ON position when you go to drive it.

I spent many hours on the install. Probably like 18 hours just so I could make sure everything was wired correctly. Soldered all the connections.

Tip- don't ever let your remote battery get to the point where the alarm chirps at you multiple times to tell you your remote battery is low. I did that a few times and once, it completely lost the remote sync. I had to unplug the brain from all the harnesses to get it working again.
