zayres29 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 if you know nothing about them or the installation process i wouldnt recommend trying it is best to watch someone do it a couple times so you get an idea of the process before trying one yourself i am pretty good with cars and wiring and stuff like that and i tried to put in my viper 5901 in my 91 c1500 (which you probably couldnt find an easier vehicle to do the install on) and all of the wires are still under my dash in a rats nest Quote Btw that was the first person.

But this will give you an idea of what all's involved.

sqsux Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) alarm should come with an installation manual, visit the12volt.com for you vehicles specific wiring chart. the most basic things to get the alarm working are 12 volt constants and a 12 volt accessory. the constant will keep the alarm on and arm it after a certain amount of time. the accessory will keep it from arming while the car is on. these are all usually found near your ignition. parking lights, interior lights, trunk, hood, and door pins are all "extras" but most definitely needed to use your alarm to the fullest. these things are also where the alarm gets tricky.

little-kid-wit-bass Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sounds fun... Doesnt seem to be hard with some practice. Basicly tapping the wires already there. Its just ALOT of wires.
