Default Help with alarm install.....

OK, I'm attempting my first car alarm install in my 1995 Honda Accord. I think I picked the hardest model to attempt this with. It's a Compustar 2w900fm with remote start and pager. The instructions were written by a tech who obviously wasn't thinking of a novice installing this. My question is on a few of the wires in a couple of harnesses.
1. CN2 Harness - Black wire - Instructions say it's the "Status Out" wire and you would connect to a Transponder Module or VATS module. What are those?

2. It has several references to a 2nd accessory or 2nd starter or 2nd ign. How do I know if I will be hooking these up?

3. CN 5 Harness - Orange Wire - This is the Re-arm wire - Instructions say it provides with a (-) pulse when armed after remote start and then again one second after remote start shutsdown. Where does this wire connect?

Thanks guys, I read the posts about having someone install for you but didn't expect to run into this many quesitons.

Thanks in advance.

The Audio&Security forum here on HT would be your best bet.

Thanks!! I looked in the security forum but didn't find this detail. Wondered if any accord specific owners may have installed this before and anyone for that matter.

Thanks

OK, Thanks for all the help getting everything connected. The door locks and alarm on the Compustar 2W900FMR work great. Just one problem. The remote start isn't getting any power to the starter so it's not cranking over. It should be 12V at the brain but there's nothing. Going back to the relay there's no power on the 2 yellow wires coming out of the relay. I changed the relay and got the same thing.

Any ideas???

OK, problem was the brain. Replaced the brain and she fired right up with remote start. Since this is my first install, I didn't mount the brain first. I wanted to make sure everything worked. I there a good place under the dash of a 95 accord to mount it? It looks tight.
Thanks again

I had one mounted on the backside of the lower panel that is below the change tray, used 3M mounting tape. You could also mount it on the firewall in there, there might not be a clear spot big enough, but if you use 3M double sided mounting tape it should stick to just about anything.
