im a bit confused when i look at the schematic. im not sure if i simply splice into the wires or do i cut them and run everything through the box. im a bit confused.

If the 703 in your name is in fact your area code, I don't mind helping ya do it. I'm in manassas Park. If not, the main ignition wires are normally pig tail'd and soldered. This method involves trimming back a small portion of the factory wire's shielding to expose the wire, piercing it through the center with a punch of some sort, inserting a stripped section of the wire from the alarm, then twisted around the factory wire exposed tightly then soldered and covered with electrical tape or heat shrink (heat shrink if de-pinning the plug end). Almost all connections are best done this way aside from the starter which you will actually cut the factory wire and then solder it to the 2 starter kill wires from the alarm (or relay if the alarm has a single starter kill wire *(-)output while armed*) Using T-taps and the such can lead to problems down the road and make it a MUCH messier install.

if you dont understand this part you probably should not be installing an alarm yourself. there are multiple wires that are the same color in a car that do different things, if you dont test properly you can do serious damage to your electrical system.. I am located in the NOVA area and have been doing alarm/rem.starts on the daily for the past 10 years.. if you want to pay me to do it then let me know

to the first guy thanks and i will pm you. to the second if you understand my question you would not have posted what you did. i do hvac for a living, wiring is part of it. i was unsure if i cut or splice simple as that.

You should be able to read the included schematics and figure it out...?

yea but the diagram i got is garbage. no pictures just words. so im cross referencing it with my cars manual.

I love when people say things like this.. its like me saying I can climb a ladder so I must be able to fly.. as I stated before, if you cant figure out wether to splice or cut a wire you shouldnt be doing it.
