I Just got a new used car and it doesnt have an alarm so I picked one up on eBay for a really good price. Now the thing is I dont know how to install it...Is there a website or something that might have detailed instructions on how to install your own alarm system? ThanKS

Sorry guys..I'm always used to posting in the Civic, FI, and members corner forums...I totally forgot about this one..sorry guys...now for the help..ANyone?

ThankS

 

buy an alarm, it comes with a book showing all the connections to be made.

By a car manual helms/chilton etc. its electrical diagrams show your which color codes are for your car and where they are located. You could also tell us what car you have and most of us can supply oem wiring colors.

If your good at making electrical connections, have a full weekend to spare, and don't mind cramped tight spaces, take apart your fuse panel and start making connections, just make sure not to put your alarm in obvious (kickpanel) locations and take your time.

oh yea, and if you find installing a deck challenging, don't even bother attempting this (i'm serious..you'll go crazy..)

I agree, it's pretty challenging so don't attempt it if you're not up for a challenge. That being said, a basic alarm is really only 8-10 wires. Just plan everything out, run your wires neatly, are electrically sound and loom them. Make sure everything is hidden, siren inaccessible and alarm brain not under the driver's side dash. Two items to strongly consider are a battery backup and hood pin switch. What type of car is this?

 

Thanks guys...I'm pretty good with electricals....so I'll be up for the challenge...I can improve on my soudering (SP?) skillls.... (and maybe start working on my spelling skills)..haha.. anyways...this alarm is for my 240...so being that its an older car (89).....it should be slightly easier/less difficult to install hopefully...oh well...we'll see..Thanks Guys..

BTW, I heard that you dont use most of the wires on the alarm..is that true?

 

i had thought about doing this with my car, did some research, but chose to have it done by a professional. I found the most information here:

http://www.the12volt.com/

theres a wealth of information on that site
peace

 

Just pay to get it done.........i know you can but alarms for like 100 and get free installation so i assume it wont be that expensive
