I got a 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid and I'm trying to install a 504M on it. Want to see if I got the wiring correct.

Red- 12 volts constant

Yellow- Ignition ( Must rest at Ground). Could I use factory arm?

Black- Ground

Blue- What do I connect this to?

Green- Connect to horn with a relay

You could connect the blue or green from the 504m to the door trigger. No guarantees it won't misbehave, add-on sensors like the 504m weren't intended to be installed on factory alarms. They are designed to plug into aftermarket alarms.

And by misbehaving, if that's the glass break sensor, every time there's a sudden high frequency sound in the car such as the radio, the dome light will activate.

No it just a shock sensor. Similar to the 504K and 504D.

OK then every time you go over a bump unless you isolate with an ignition controlled relay, even then your factory alarm may be Data based which means it won't pick up any triggers.

Absolute waste of time. We've all been there, done that.

First I made a mistake. I am installing a 504K not the M version.

Just finish connect this.

Wired the Blue to the LF door trigger. With a diode.

Wired the Yellow to Ignition.

The shock sensor LED turns off with the Ignition on which what it needs to do and the LED is on with the Ignition is off.

Tested and working perfectly.

I'm don't see how this is a waste of time. I just saved a couple hundred dollars and hours of install time. I also get to retain the factory remote start.

Well congratulations on an install well done. You've just upgraded your factory alarm with one of the most annoying, arguably useless sensor types, and arguably why one isn't installed in the OEM alarm.

I find cars with subs passing by and thunder during lightning storms trigger the shock sensor more than thieves tend to do.

I always "forget" to install them with DEI 5X04/6 series, we nearly always add 508d making them irrelevant.
