Hey everyone.
I'm gonna get the alarm in the mail soon and i want to know what wires i need to tap into. My 1st question is: where do u guys drill the hole for the red blinking light? i want a place where it wont affect my car much if the alarm burns out. 2: do i need a diode for the alarms un/lock door wires. (so when i'm in the car and i push the button to lock the doors it wont burn my alarm) yup i have power locks already. the box says"Door Locks & Parking lights Built-In Relays" ![]() 3: the brake light thing. i was reading a post b4 and it mentioned a wire at the tail-light fusebox. where is that? and how do i attach that? ![]() 4: what wire (color and location) is the parking light relay, so the lights blink 4 the alarm. 5: this alarm has remote start. the box says "Built-In Start Relays,Accessories,Ignition,Starter Outputs" so what wires do i need to play with ( coomer?) yea i never did this remote start installation b4. and dont worry i have an automatic tranny. 6. I'm thinking about installing a proximity senor with this car. so i can leave my windows down while its infront of my house. where should i mount it? well that is about it. thanks in advance. i just need to know what these wires look like and where they are at. ![]() |

1. I drilled my hole right below the dimmer knob. I've also seen them to the right of the clock, and on the tops of the door panels.
2. If you've got built in relays, and you only have to hook up two wires to your existing door lock wires, I don't think you'd need a diode, but you may want to put one in anyway, just because you never know how exactly the alarm's relay is setup. Diodes are cheap, so I'd say put one in if you've got some laying around, just to be safe. 3. What are you using this for? And you want something that gives you +12 volts when the brake pedal is pressed? If so, I tapped into a green and white wire in my kick panel, so that when I press my brake pedal, my remote start turns off unless the key is in the ignition ON position. 4. The parking light wire is supposedly a green wire in that big group of wires from the ignition column, but I was never able to find it, so I'm simply tapping into my parking light fuse in the fuse panel. 5. As for remote start, you'll need to hookup a wire to your brake wire so that the car shuts down if the brake is pressed and the keys aren't in the ignition ON position. You'll also need to hookup your neutral safety switch to the alarm, so that you can't start your car in gear. Also, you'll need to hook up your constant +12 volts wire, your two ignition ON wires, and your starter wire at the bare minimum. This thread has more information about these ignition wires. 6. I'm really not sure on proximity sensor mounting. I kinda wanted one on my car so that when people get close, the windows would automatically roll up, but I decided not to do that. Be sure to have a look at this too. Even though the diagram is for my alarm, it should help you a bit. And be sure to test all of your wires, stay away from the air bag wires in the yellow tubing, and disconnect your negative battery terminal before you work on the electrical stuff. If you've got any more specific questions, just let me know. ![]() -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
