Here are the problems I've found so far:
formatting paragraphs is a little off
"I don't say please"... but I did say please. I'm so nice.
specify "yellow crimpers" "Unfortunately, the [yellow] crimpers shown in the pictures are not the right crimpers."

Wasn't expecting George Knighton to respond so quickly! Thanks GK!

Im in the same boat lol....I too have a full time job as well as laying the groundwork to take it to the next level ,plus a wife and 3 year old twins-whew-that enough. I'll try to answer any question as best as I can and also respond to pm's in a timelt manner.

twins? oooo dam. I see two new honda driver in the future, Better start saving. Two brand new floating tegs in the future. I wonder what the exhaust would look like, lol.

Anything else you can tear into is very much appreciated. I'm not the kind to get offended by criticism, although I might defend my methods to the death sometimes. Unfortunately I lose that battle because I don't have the experience that you have!

Anything I should add to the thread? I could be more specific about the battery backup and stuff like that but they already come with excellent instructions.

No I did not see anything else really, that I wouldn't do myself, a few examples, [pix] of depinning diff. types of pins/plugs would probably be a lot of help for anyone who has not done it, and how to avoid soldering the alarm/starter lead so it interferes with the "locking" of the pin when re-pinning it. 94

I recall on your site that you suggested we could source power from alternate wiring (I.e Trunk light in Integra's).

Do you no longer suggest doing this ? If so why not ?

Also may want to suggest a few alternate sources of power that can be used (maybe not for the brain but for door locks, etc). Sources i guess could include Amp Wiring.

Also may want to add these posts to it.

How to splice sensors together.

and how to wire in additional sirens using a relay

I'll take pics of de-pinning alarm connectors.

I'm not sure what you meant here and if maybe you had a typo. "how to avoid soldering the alarm/starter lead so it interferes with the "locking" of the pin when re-pinning it." You want it to interfere? And you're talking about the starter lead.... starter isn't something I mess with much anymore. I tap into the ignition and constant that way, but for the start kill function I usually go to the fuel pump wire.

kavehman:

I no longer feel like the diodes are all that necessary when splicing sensors together. I don't use them for pin switches except if there's a dash indicator. In fact on my car, I don't mind if the hood pin indicates the trunk open dash indicator. It's a good way to check if the pin is still getting a good ground. But I'd isolate say the door from the trunk if I wanted them to share a trigger for some reason. You'll notice that DEI doesn't diode isolate their glass breakage sensor from their shock sensor when they give you that y harness.

fcm, what do you think? Are diodes all that necessary like I have in this pic:

I don't believe in using more than two sirens. What I could do is make one or two universal relay wiring diagrams for the "wtf is a relay" section. It really doesn't matter what's on the relay, it's going to be wired basically the same.

Well, there are several problems with just using a constant 12v that you found if you don't really know what it is. Say for instance, you had the doors closed when you were testing the wires. The door trigger would appear to be a constant 12v. On the Integra, there's a constant 12v for the trunk light, but the circuit has a very small fuse. You're fine oversizing that fuse, but it's not something I can recommend universally. And none of the other Hondas I have done a stealth install have turned up a good source for constant back there. So I recommend my stealth method at the fuse panel or a stealth tap into the pin on the white wire under the dash. You always have the battery backup as well.

wrx-killer-Sti eater: I feel like that's a good spot for a stealth alarm vs a lo-jack because the alarm gives the thief a very short time limit. It's a valid point so I think what I will do is create an alternative how-to for the center console. I can dig through my volumes of install pics and find that type of install. If you have another location lmk. The only other place I can fathom is deep into the dash but I never did find your magic spot.

I've got a lot of work to do. Anyone want to share the burden?

Like you I do not have a diode on my hood-pin and trunk/hatch trigger, [so my hatch light and dash indicator will come on if my hood is open] no biggie.

I do however always, [as should be done] install diodes if 2 sensors share the same input and of coarse if multiple triggers, [door pin-switches] have to stay isolated from each other, or as you mention if you want to combine trunk/hatch with the doors, [although alarms with only one input for both hood and trunk/hatch are on the way out] 94

Bottom line is the diagram stays as is or needs to be modified?

Be sure to state to tap the door sensor by the bump thing.. So the door sensor is set off with the driver door as well.

"bump thing"????

fcm, I think I have what you're saying but it's down in the "Ignition 12V" section.

Come on guys, stop trying to be succinct. Believe it or not, I'm not familiar with all these tricks you're referring to. Don't give me a sentence when I need a paragraph. Hell, give me some pics too. If this is all left up to me, it's seriously going to take a few months. I'll give you full credit. I'll do the spelling/grammar/editing.

I don't know of any 8mm bolts on the steering column. I just replaced my steering column. I also don't know of any theft advantage to dropping the column. And I wouldn't do anything to the car that isn't reversible.

I'll include the ignition harness tuck on the next update.

Because it still easy to drive the car with big ole vise grips. Especialy if the car has power steering.
