djfrostsf Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Has anyone done a diy install of an alarm system on our car? I dont trust the shops around here and I have experience with wiring. Can someone point me in the right direction? Heres the questions I have - 1)Do I cut wires or splice them? 2)What wires go to where? I have a diagram for both the car and the alarm but when I tried to wire up just the door locks i got nothing. (Brown and white wire) 3) Does anyone know of a walk through I can read/watch? I have searched through the forum and keep getting the same results. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.hicksta Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Check out www.the12volt.com and look for alarm wiring for whatever year LGT you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfrostsf Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 thanks man! I checked that out, that's where I got the first diagram from. I'm just confused as to how the wires from the alarm system should be connected. I have an 05 gt so I was looking to see if anyone had done it before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.hicksta Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Did you check http://www.diyma.com and www.caraudio.com? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.hicksta Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I found this guide for a Tribeca which has similar wiring: http://www.sb9t.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1160. Also search 'Vaction Pix' and download the appropriate year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfrostsf Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 i have done google search after search and have found nothing but the same diagram thats on the12volt.com. I was looking for someone here on the forum that has done it or is an installer that could help me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfrostsf Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 im basically looking for someone to say connect this wire to this wire. splice this one cut this one ect. I cant afford an install (basically because I just replaced my throw out bearing and window) My car was broken into. hence the need for an after market alarm system.

mr.hicksta Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 This thread might help: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/complete-legacy-wiring-info-59165.html?t=59165&highlight=alarm+install Understood about money and all, and before I ended up having mine installed I just searched every resource possible. You may want to check the 12Volt forums out to see if there's any additional information aside from the wiring guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfrostsf Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 thanks bro! It turns out i was reading the wiring diagram of the alarm incorrectly. Look out for a write up coming soon on how to do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnutsx2 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just got done doing mine with autostart pm me and I'll give you the info your looking for. Make it easy on yourself and use a dei alarm , interface and key imulator. You can tap into the factory door locks, alarm, dome light , tach signal and door pins with three wires. . It should be an easy install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djfrostsf Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Im not doing a remote start, i live in florida so its quite useless and I have a Manual so its not that safe lol. I am installing an alarm made by Absolute USA. Its a 1 way that vibrates if someone opens my door. I am installing every sensor I can to make this thing go off if someone breathes on it =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnutsx2 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 For what its worth you can use autostart to turn the AC on or as a turbo timer. They make an autostart for a stick, you leave the car running in autostart mode, get out, close the door,set the alarm and the car shuts off. If you open the door the alarm will not autostart. ( it assumes that since you left it running and got out of the car its ok to restart.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
