Default Installing an autopage rf-425lcd into 96 accord lx, couple of questions

Ok i'm going to be installing an auto page rf-425 lcd remote paging alarm into my sisters 96 accord lx with all power options.

I have three questions,

first is i want to wire up the dome light control output so her dome light comes on when the car is un armed. do i need to hook up some sort of relay so i do not damage the alarm? or is it ok to run it strait to the dome light circuit.

second, how i am supposed to tap into the factory lock system? my installation manual shows 5 different methods on how to hook up the keyless entry (i can rule out the vacuum pump lock set up, i know accords don't use that), and the tricky part is the alarm has 6 wires comming out of it for various different set ups, as apposed to the alarms i've installed in the past where i had3 wires, a blue, a green and a red, of which the red was ignored and the blue and green wires were either directly tapped into the lock system or hooked up to a set of relays to control the lock output

third where is the best location to tap into the dome light door switch so the alarm is triggered if any of the four doors are opened?



thanks in advance guys!

Yes you need a relay for dome light supervision, the output control lead from the alarm is a "low current" ground, [250mA] the dome light needs a "high current" ground, it even tells you in the install guide, "relay required"

Your door locks are ground triggered, use the "3 wire negative" wiring.

Thanks fcm, I too found the site you posted up about the wiring codes, looks like its going to be my best friend installing the alarm tomorrow. I found this pdf on line, hopefully this is correct for wiring up the needed relay:

If it is hopefully it helps others in the future
