Clifford Matrix 3.5 & '04 Mustang GT

I'm about to install a clifford Matrix 3.5 into my mustang. Just wondering if there are any gotcha's around this install. If  people have xperience with either the alarm or the car and can perhaps save me some headscratching when it comes time to install it i would be grateful.

It's a pretty straight-forward install if you know alarms. If not you may have some trouble with the door trigger.~The Rookie~

Rookie of the year that is...

Don't let the smoke out of your equiptment..it doesn't go back in.

I believe Fords had 12V positive door triggers (as a pose to a negative trigger like most cars have) some alarms have wires for both kinds, but some don't. If you only have a - input, goto the12volt.com to relays, and read up on using relays to reverse polarity.

Dome Light YEL/BLK(DR) GY/RD(PS) AT GEM MODULE * SEE TECH NOTES ** **Dome Light:Ford's G.E.M. Will Drop A Low Signal Across The Dome Light And In Most Cases Cause A False Trigger. To Eliminate This Cut the Door Pin Trigger Wires At The G.E.M. And Insert A One-Amp Diode With Band Side Facing Doors.Make Your Isolated Connection On The Door Pin Side. The GEM (Generic Electronic Module) Is Behind The Dash Above The Brake Pedal. heres another source: found through search and theyre diff. test them DOMELIGHT BLACK/ WHITE ( + ) MODULE LEFT SIDE OF DASH Houston,TX

coo thanks guys.

you do have an extra key and the 555U box right? Youll need that for the remote start to work

no matter what you do......there's always a tow truck. if you do decide to remote start your manual stang, make sure you go to the injectors and NOT the tach wire. this only applies to 2003's/4's ford and merc's. if you go to the tach, the vehicle will stay remote started for only 1-2 minutes and then shut down. after entering the diagnostic check for the d.e.i. remote starter, it will show  low/over rev shut down when going to the tach. good luck with whatever you decide to do.do it right the first time....less warranty work=more money!:)
