What are you having problems mounting... the brain, the siren, or the shock sensor?
I usually wire tie the brain high up in the dash where it won't move around, and is not
easy to get to. the Siren you want to hide somewhere in the engine compartment, somewhere on the passenger side, so you can easily get the wires through the gromet.
i put my shock sensor on the main ingnition harness with a wire tie. And just a heads up, dont forget to diode isolate the door triggers if it is a 2 door.

pics?

I dont have any pics, you wouldnt be able to see anything even if i took pics of it all. Its all hidden. the only thing you need to make sure of is that its not going to move around, and its not tied to anything that moves. Other than that, hide it as good as you can.

I am not having problems mounitng nething yet caus ei haven started, the only reason i ask is cause there are no real directions with it and i dont have a clue as to where nething goes except the siren of course goes in the engine compartment. but that sounds good, i am sur ei will have more questions once i start, oh by the way how long did it take u to complete this start to finish?

they dont really give directions cause they are supposed to be profesionally installed. But anyway, It took my about an 1hr and 45min start to finish, but this is what i do for a job, i do them almost everyday. Someone that has never done one, usually will take 4-5 hrs.

all you can really follow is the wiring chart... as an installer, when we get a car weve never done, all we get is a wiring chart identical to the one on this site...

also, theres no standard procedure for installing the alarm, theres many different variations and methods to the install

Hey guys one more question about the "diode isolation" cause my car is a two door. What exactly do u mean by that and how do i do that? thanks

Dont bother with diode isolating the 2 door pins, just use the dome light wire in the drivers side A pillar. It covers both doors at the same time.

I dont remember the color off the top of my head but theres only 2 wires in the pillar.

not even, you can get done light wire down by the kick in the stock alarm plug.... every wire used in my alarm install was down by the steering wheel and kickpanel

How would you isolate for a 4 door? Which doors would it isolate for? Front/rear?

you dont need to isolate our cars

I found the dome light harness....is that the stock alarm harness next to it? Also i cannot seem to find the parking lights (turn signals) and where to tap into them. Thanks guys!
