if you don't know anything about electronics and reading wire diagrams, do NOT try installing an alarm system yourself. You can easily fry the brain of the alarm very easily. One wrong connection and your screwed. Like buds said there, your better off just buying an alarm at future shop, best buy, or a place like crazy crazy where the install is usually with the price of the alarm.

I installed my first alarm, blew my brains (LOL) but my alarm was covered under warranty so I was able to get it replaced for free.
I blew mine by not installing a solenoid relay in between my starter kill and my starter wire which shot a wack load of power back to my brain frying it. Oh well things happen hehe
