2015 Silverado 1500 EVO One w/THarness Remote Start Questions

Question

Getting ready to install a EVO One with T-Harness tomorrow in a 2015 Chevy Silverado.  It has a factory alarm on it with power door locks.  Want to use the 3X Lock option.  I have the guide that shows the T-Harness Installation and I see that I will have 3 wires to connect, in addition to the T-Harness Plugs themselves.  One to the OBD II and 2 to the CANBUS.  Since tech support will be closed for the Holiday’s when I get to this, I have the following questions: (1) I have the Fortin Flashlink Manager, but I need to know what options/fields that I specifically need to program and with what values.  I don’t see that in the guide.  (2) This is a work truck with a tool box in the bed of the truck.  I would like to put a pin-switch (like the hood pin-switch) on that tool box and have it be “armed” when the Factory Alarm is armed.  Is there a wire on the EVO One that I can attach that to?  If so, what wire?  What programming in the Fortin Flashlink Manager will need to be done?  Thank you in advance for your help.

The Generic Guide that comes with the EVO-ONE (not the vehicle installation guide) shows which wires can be used to add extra triggers for things like adding a pin on your tool box
