if you dont know how hard they are to install, get someone who does, to do it for you.

if you have somewhat advanced electrical knowledge and can troubleshoot, have patience and can follow directions, you should be alright. but if not i would recommend having someone do it for you. but if you have someone else do it for you you should buy it through them so you dont get charged an arm and leg.

As long as theres directions then I should be able to do it. I know common stuff but if it dosnt tell u how to identify the wire then I might be in trouble.

What are some of the wires u have to tap into or some of the more difficult parts of the install? I need some details so I know what im getting into. Probaly the viper791 is what ill get.

No offense, but if you can't figure out how to disconnect the wire for no seatbelt light (other thread), maybe you should pay someone to do the alarm install. I did.

DONT DO IT! u have to tap into a wire for all of the connections. so you have power, lock,unlock,parking lights, dome light, door pin switch, tach, trunk, brake, starter, ignition, second iginition, accessory, second accessory, hood pin,gotta ground it, defroster, trunk pin switch. probly a few more but i am highly sugggesting you pay someone to do it for you if you asked that question. not flaming you just telling you.

What kinda car? If you don't have it installed by an Authorized dealer, you will have no warranty. That alone is worth the extra price from buying it local.

I agree but I had in my mind tapping into wires is easier than dissconecting a little clip. Ill look into having it installed though cause that sounds like more than I want to do. I just know if I could do it, it would be better cause I hate doing things cheap. Do you think Freemans will do a good job?

Well I know its gonna cost me but do you think they will do a good job and not just through my shit in there and cover it up?
