[QUOTE="Heeltoeclutch, post: 7228522, member: 629974"] Well, it's just a bunch of wires and a bunch of pulling your car apart to find them. It's not that difficult, it can just take a LOT of time. for the basics, you need to wire to -your door trigger, which can be the wires going to your door pin that tell your dome light to turn on -lock/unlock system- not sure how this works on newer cars as the alarms I've installed have been on cars that I've also installed power locks in -parking lights, to flash with arm/disarm -siren(s), at least one under hood, preferably an additional 783 on the inside of the car -preferably hood pin, so that the alarm triggers if a thief pops the hood -shock sensor- can attach to any sturdy part of the car, senses when someone tries to break a window or tow the car -battery and ground of course It is best to hide your wiring and components as best you can, as this will make it more difficult for a thief to disable it. There is an excellent stickied thread here all about car security and alarm systems; I highly recommend you read that if you haven't already.
