12986, Alarm Installation
Posted by DirtMegirt, Jan-21-01 12:43 AM
How easy or hard would it be to install a car alarm with remote start myself? I was planning on getting an alarm wiring harness through Crutchfield, so that I would not have to splice any of the factory wires in my car. I have experience installing car stereos and speakers, however I would think that installing an alarm must be more complex. I just want to see what you guys think. Should I give it a go, or let a pro do the work?

Let a pro do it. I can and have been installing stereos, phones ect since highschool (1989) but the one thing I always take it in for is the alarm. Most of it is the same as any stereo install but in general pros do better conceling wires, better conections and a cleaner job ect. Of course a bad shop can do a bad job also. If something goes wrong you can always go back.

you prolly do it yself if you have the right tools and a lot of time. remember that install is more important than product when it comes to alarms though and make sure you go to a good shop. my install took crappy pro's like 10 hours for a half=assed job.
i got remote start, window automation, backup battery, window breakage detectora nd all the regular stuff

Did you have any trouble with the remote starter. Some guy put one on my 92 Talon and it won't work. Any suggestions?
