Viper 791xv and Turbo Timer

i was wondering if there was a way for me to arm the alarm while my HKS Type 1 turbo timer is counting down (i'm not using the built in turbo timer). i also want to make sure that my car doesnt automatically unlock itself after the turbo timer is done counting down. i use the hks type 1 turbo timer as my speedo. i also like using the volt meter, rpm meter, and 0-60 meter.i read something about using the AUX wire (?), but the person was using a different alarm. i also think i saw something about using a relay. i would appreciate it if someone gave me some detailed instructions. thanks.

I bought my car with a Viper on it. What they did was bypass the factory remote, and use the Viper remote for locking/unlocking the doors and arming the alarm. I was told I could still use the factory remote, but it would not arm the alarm. My turbo timer still works with the system.

By the way, if you have auto start, you may not need a timer. I was told they could install a button to press to keep the car running. Before shuting the car off, you press the button to keep the engine running, and them arm the system...not sure if you will have the ability to pick the amount of time it runs.

Why would you need a seperate turbo time when that Viper alarm has one integrated in it for free?
