anyone in the dc metro area know someone who installs car alarms? my 93 Honda was broken into and its just my daily driver so i don't wanna spend much money on it but i refuse to install the new head unit i just got for it until i get an alarm.... if any of you know someone who installs alarms I'd love to get it done soon

 

Mmm.....guess you have never installed an alarm before. If you just go matching colors you are going to do alot of damage to the alarm and/or the electrical system of your car. I have been MECP certified since 1997 and have probably installed a couple hundred alarms in all types of cars, you ALWAYS test the wires before you just hook things up whether you have a schematic or not. Bad practice to just assume the schematic (if you can find one for the car your working on) is correct because 8 out of 10 times there will be discrepancies between the schematic and what is actually in the car.

 

in your other post, you said you don't know how to put a head unit in.
How could you tell someone its not a big deal?

hahahahahahaha busted!.. classic

 

damn dude, if i did my alarms just by matching colors. i cant even begin to think what would happen to the cars. bmw's have about 300 different red and brown wires alone, should i just put all the red and brown wires to those? just go eenie meenie miney moe, which one of these wires is gonna make the fuse blow. LoL

David........you mean the negative third output can't go to the door trigger??? LOLOLOLOL

 

its so hard to find a reputable installer that actually cares about their work and their customers and not just the money. macd, good job man and keep up the good work.

 

I remember it taking over 3 hours to have it done on previous GS and too my current one. I guess it may depend on what type of alarm you choose.

D, I had the Viper 5900 installed and two different techs installed it on both my cars. It was a over 3hrs for them to complete it and they setup some other features that I don't know are part of a standard setup. Does it it take you around that time to complete the job?

 

Yeah I understand, I had no idea at all what the time was going to be to complete the job. They did warn me that it will take several hours to do. It wasn't a big deal for me knowing that the job was being done in a professional manner and I killed all that time with a bus ride to the mall
