Well, today I finally got around to installing my alarm. I chose a Compustar CM6300, and a 2WFM900 Remote package with Spread Spectrum technology (up to one mile range two-way paging). I also added a DEI Glass sensor, a back-up battery, A Compustar Shock sensor, and a DEI digital tilt sensor. I was also sure to do an ignition and starter kill as well.
This alarm system was particularly difficult because of the fact that I didn't want to drill a million holes and hack up the dash or underhood. For my hood pin I used existing bolt holes and when I attached my siren I was able to use a screw that was already in use for a retainer. I also hooked up a trunk pin which works off of the trunk hinges. That one is hidden in behind the hinge. Of course I hid the brain (that's a secret...duh!) and I also added in some power locks. The power locks were a challenge because there are no wires going through the door. So yes, I drilled holes on the door side and the body side, primered the holes with encapsulation sealant and installed some very nice Wurth grommets. I heat-shrinked the wires as well as wrapped them in a high end woven loom. Its about as nice as you're ever going to get in making a door boot from scratch.
I made a nice metal bracket for the blue LED which sits under the dash.....no holes here! I think it goes without saying that I soldered and shrink-tubed absolutely every connection made! In fact, I cut out about a dozen or so T-taps, butt-connectors and yanked out all the sketchy tape that I found under the dash and under the hood. It feels great to clean all that garbage up! Now I can get a good sleep at night knowing that my baby is protected. WOOT!
