I'll look for those pictures posted tomorrow.

Good luck on doing your own install. Mine was done at a professional shop where I had my JVC head unit system installed. They are an authorized dealer and it took the tech quite a few hours to do the install. He also used a new bit writer that is needed for the 5701. This allowed the oem alarm to be fully integrated in with the Viper system. You do not need a valet key in a box for the 5701. It recognizes the Tundra ecm on its own. There was also alot of misleading info on Toyotas end about which green wire on the ignition switch as there are 4 of them and they all read ignition. Finally had to remove the steering column to confirm the wire off the tumbler. Plus the ecm wiring was confusing as well. It was the very first 5701 my shop has installed due it being such a new item from Viper.
Having an authorized shop do the install ensures the warranty on the system. Again with tax it was $529.38 exactly and tax here in Maryland is 6%. I have a sensor on the tonneau cover, all doors, hood switch, tilt sensor and glass break sensor. With the dark tint it was advised not to do the prox sensor. $800 seems outrageous and you should check around at another authorized Viper installer.
$250 or so online is right but that is without tilt, glass break, prox or any of the optional sensors. The sensors ballpark around $25 or so each.
Good Luck
