Does anyone know of a kit that lets you install an aftermarket alarm or keyless entry without cutting into the car wiring? Something like the kits for trailer hitches where you unplug the factory connectors and insert wiring with matching connectors.

you can do that with any alarm system. there's just certain connectors that bridge the wiring.
actually come to think of it, you will probably have to splice some wires in. |

You can use t-taps, but they tend to fall off after a while if you buy the cheap ones. Youll have to tap into nearly every wire you need. The steering column and driver's kick panel are the best places to source from. Just buy some inline strippers and solder your connections. If you want to do an alarm, you need to dig into your wiring. There isnt a patch harness made for that purpose.

I've decided I don't really need an alarm so I'm going to do a keyless entry only.
I don't want to cut into the existing wiring as much as possible. I was hoping somebody makes a patch harness. If they don't, I will have to get a spare underdash harness and make my own. I'd rather buy one than make one. |

I'd rather buy one than make one. you have to cut into the wiring to make it work! there's no adapters or plugs or anything like that. you have to cut your wires. period. get a shop to install it and do it right so you don't mess something up on it. |
