now question, can you set the desired features from the remote on the 990? say turbo delay, vib sensitivity, etc? also with 2- way enabled what should i expect for battereis on the remote.
also i need to bypass the clutch since i drive 5spd. is that a pain in the rear?

My friends 5900 2-way lasts about 6 weeks on one of the energizer lithiums and I put one in mine as soon as it was installed and haven't had any battery level loss yet.
On my old viper 5000, my box lasted 14 weeks on a lithium battery.
The 990 and the 5900 are almost identical aside from the fact that they come in slightly different packaging. It is just a marketing thing.
And as to the clutch bypass, it can be easy or hard. Easiest but stupidest: zip tie down the clutch switch.
Next harder, tap both clutch switch wires and put them on a switch so you can manually control when its connected. Smartest: Tap the wires and put them on a relay that triggers with the remote start sequence.
The hardest thing about the clutch wires is working in the small area where you have access to them.

Between the stress of the tach wire and clutch bypass, I'd personally charge far more than 75 lol.
You can buy a relay from DEI but itll be a whole lot cheaper to do it from like radio shack or autozone etc... Just tell them you need a "Single Pole Single Throw (spst) or Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT)" Relay. They will probably take you to the lighting section adn the realy is like 2 bucks. Both relays will get the job done. Also, pick up a fuse holder you can tie into the line and a couple of 1 amp fuses.
