Hey guys, this is my first alarm install, but would like to complete this one and get into installing alarms. I have experience in car stereo installations, from head units, to capacitors, subs and amps, so I'm pretty familliar with wiring. I'm just getting kind-of confused between the vehicle wiring diagram and the alarm/remote start wiring diagram.
here's what I have:

I BELIEVE, but really have no idea what I'm talking about, by looking at these diagrams, my car does not have a positive door trigger? Could somebyd with experience at installing alarm systems please explain to me which wires on the alarm need to be hooked up...and what wires they hook to on the car. and an explanation of why they hook up where they do. I'm sure i could hook up the locks, horn, headlights, park lights, tach, etc. But I don't understand the Factory Disarm/Alarm Disarm on the vehicle wiring diagram. I also don't understand the following on the alarm diagram: Manual Arm Input, Instant Trigger, Remote Start Activation, Manual Disarm Input, Wait to Start, Armed Output, Positive Siren Output(unless this is for an aftermarket siren, because my unit utilizes the horn...there's an optional SongBird siren available through Code Alarm, but pin 19 is for the songbird output). Also, on the CA425, on the 4 Pin Power Harness, there's a starter input and output...does this mean that the BLACK/ Red wire at the ignition switch needs to be cut and the side towards the switch be connected to the input, and the other side be connected to the output?
I'm very sorry for such a long post...I would really like to install this alarm and remote start on my own. I like a challenge...after one installation, I'm sure the rest will go a LOT more smoothly. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.
