2006 mercedes c 230, i am putting a python alarm into this car and unsure where where to find the door lock/unlock wires, as well as the door pins and trunk pin wire. i beleive i found the ignition wires coming from the smart key port . how about the domelight instead of the individual door pins? where is the domelight wire? i've heard of lots of unsuccessful attempts with mercedes vehicles, should i just stay away from this car? or is somebody sure of the wire colors and locations? or for that matter, has anyone ever put an alarm in a 2006 c 230 and had success? heeeeeeeeeeelp! thanx in advance

Somewhere at the rear or under the rear seat is the vacuum control for the locks. You will pick up all the door/trunk and possibly hood switch there, also the lock/unlock wires. Probably blue lock and black unlock, or vice versa. Extend lock pulse to effect window/roof close. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES Pick up any wiring from the ignition switch before testing with a DMM. It's safer and easier to run out to an engine bay fuse box and pick these and the lights up from the fuse box/ processor outputs. Don't worry about dome supervision, the dome lights will come on with unlock. If not use driver's door lead.

Sorry I can't be more precise but I've only done audio and phone work on post 2000 models. The cost of making mistakes is too high.
