actually you're going to want it mounted to something solid NOT a harness. Reason being is a harness is going to act like a cushion for impact, anything solid under the dash (dash support, underdash panel) are going to move WITH the car, the harness could swing and not move with the bumped car. Though i've had them work zip tied to the main harness, the BEST place is something metal or plastic

Yep, That is the usual trunk trigger. You can also diode isolate the hood pin and use that input if you have other ideas/uses for the multiplexed inputs.
On a car like the Evo the ingition wire harness will work fine for the shock sensor. I personally never did that because I was really into hiding the presence of the security system. I pulled MANY dsashboards just for alarm installs.

If you didn't connect the satellite harness the unit will never reset after an intrusion is detected. Viper units reset by turning the ignition on, the ignition connection is through the satellite harness. I found that out the hard way a while ago when I couldn't get into the features programming menu. It turned out that the ribbon plug was tugged out a little on one side at the brain and it wasn't receiving the (+) ignition signal from the yellow wire.
On the Evo I've had very good results mounting the shock sensor on the steering column. Just take your time and adjust it right.
