How hard is it to install an alarm?

[Bumpin Expo]

Well I was whoring ebay and I found there is a lot of alarms that go dirt cheap. I was thinking maybe I could buy the and if only I knew how to install them I could really make osme good money off of this. People would pay some decent money for one of these to be put in. So exactly how hard would it b to try to install one?

[Kirk]

Oh man I gotta see this...

[Bumpin Expo]

muahahha

so how hard is it guys? anyplace online thats "alarm installs for dummys"?

[TBSpyder]

Doesn't www.installdr.com have alarm wiring diagrams? Without a wiring diagram for the specific vehicle...you're basically screwed. It's not the easiest thing in the world.....

nothing is really the easiest thing in the world. You just gotta b able to learn how to do it

[SSpiro]

Alarms are not for the beginner... can get pretty involved.

Once you have quite a few installs under your belt, just like with anything else, it gets easier.

Wiring up an amp is the easiest thing in the world compared to wiring up an alarm. Like SSpiro said, it's very in-depth. I wouldn't even attempt it without a detailed wiring diagram and someone with a little experience to guide you.

[Kirk]

I can get yuo the wiring diagram for any make/model.. and where each wire is located... but I am not liable for when you fry your car's electrical system. Let me know the info on your car.

Notes:
NOTE: Some models of this vehicle are equipped with PATS (Passive Anti Theft System). Use DEI module 555F to over-ride during remote start. *1 Two wires each at switch, both are common, only need to power 1 each during remote start. *2 You may also use the pink/green power unlock wire. *3 Also found to be white/black at the rear of the switch. *4 To avoid the dome light delay and dome light time-out use the separate door triggers. In the drivers kick panel find yellow/black for the drivers door, lt. green/yellow for the drivers rear door, and white/purple for the rear hatch. In the passengers kick panel find gray/red for the passenger front door, and pink/lt. blue for the passengers rear door. All five wires are negative trigger and must be diode isolated together. *5 Arms on lock only with door open. It is necessary to send a signal to door trigger as well as lock to arm factory alarm. *6 The PCM is located at the top of the firewall towards the passenger side, the tan/yellow tach wire is also found at the back of the instrument cluster. *7 Also found yellow/white (-) at the firewall connector.

Automatic door locks? As in "power" door locks?

In that case, you'd have to do a manual to power conversion in order to use a keyless entry.

[Bumpin Expo]

how hard would it be to do it? same as alarm? god i need to do my homework!

[Kirk]

Its not hard... just buy a damn kit....ebay!!

[Bumpin Expo]

blah some help u guys are

[SSpiro]

The internet is your friend.

[TBSpyder]

IMO, remote start is easier than a full feature alarm system.

[TIM TIM TIM]

your crazy... that shits to complicated for me to even wrapped up in

[Bumpin Expo]

how much easier? Kirk, can you send me a chart like u did for my explorer or it? I want to try either an alarm or remote start. ive always wanted to be able to install something like that

[93ex]

thanks kirk we love you

[eli]

i think afboy should check his pms :) i need those fans :)

[Bumpin Expo]

OMG ELI, i so didnt see those. I dont check my pms and TR doesnt alert me when I get them so I forget! This sat im going to the car show and maybe showing my explorer off for a lil for shits n giggles. if u wanna meet up then ill b there. and eli my cell is 433-6452. Feel free to call netime, or grls wit big tits u know can call too.

Kirk, u hurt my self esteem. Sigh

And yes julian I got the sub in

[joebobclark]

I put in a full feature alarm (remote start, starter kill, etc.) into my 95 Civic about a month ago. Wasnt too bad.

I had to do it cause no one I could find would hook up the remote start on my 5 speed.

Decided to power the locks too while I was at it. It easier to add power locks when you install a keyless entry alarm, rather than doing the factory conversion first.

I was thinking of doing this too, seeing as most Remote Start alarms start around $400 installed and I got my eBay "special" for $89.99. But Im just too fuking lazy.

Good luck. Take your time, and dont get scared of it before you start.

Chris

[eli]

thanks man, ill meet u at the car show.

[Kirk]

Jessie - you have mail

[Bumpin Expo]

jessie has mail and i dont wow

[Bumpin Expo]

[GsEclipse02]

lol hope u do get it right it sucks haveing to fix shit and pay for shit to get fixd ....

[Bumpin Expo]

TRUST ME I know

[Viper4ug]

hehe still trying to install alarms huh, ever thought about going to school for it, they actually have a certification class you can take that would be cheaper than installing an alarm and watching the cars burn to the ground, trust me ive been doing it for ever and have seen many owner installed alarms that have a caught fire, or b fried the ecu in the car or c messed up the wiring harness for the ignition and what not, not to discurage ya but if you really wanna do this please get certified and do it right so you dont end up being sued for everything you have when you put an alarm in a car and the poor ladys car catches fire with her kids in it etc....

[MY1950COUPE]

Guess he burned up his car, No more posts

[SickVette]

Car alarms take a sound working knowledge of a vehicles electrical system. Installer also needs to be familuar with usind relays, resistors, and diodes. WIth the massive amount of ECM or BCM controlled items in todays autos it is very important to stay away from test lights and know what it is going on with those units. Older cars are alot easier to install an alarm in and less likely to damage anything. Newer cars can get very complicated. It does not take much to burn up a window switch or door lock control module. I have seen plenty of blown ECM's also. I have been installing alarms professionally for 16 years and have installed several thousand of them. If someone wants a hand or pointers let me know. I can at least get you started in the right direction to help the install go much smoother.
