Default Viper Car Alarm for 2011 IS250

I purchased a Viper 5704V car alarm/remote starter and I'm trying to figure out what module to buy for my 2011 IS250. Listed below are 5 modules that are compatible but I'm not sure what the differences are or what's better. From all the searching I've done I think I should purchase the iDatalink ADS-ALCA but I wanted to verify. Are there accessories that work with this alarm system? I think I found two and I listed them below.

I live in the Seattle area and I'm looking for someone to install this. The Directed Electronics website for Viper lists Car Toys, Best Buy and Mobile Music as installers. Anyone know of other installers? I haven't been happy with the installation I've had Car Toys and Best Buy do in the past and I've never been to Mobile Music.

I wouldn't recommend Best Buy installer. Try looking for a local shop that specialize in alarm installation.

I have Viper 5901 with Flashlogic FLCAN.

The xpresskit and the idatalink works little differently on remote start (you can read about it in the other threads). Anyway, I have the xpresskit on my 2008 and it works fine, but I think it doesn't work on Lexus cars newer than 2008.
