My Son has a 97 Civic HX.  He purchased an ultrastart 430 alarm system off the internet.  The instructions for installing are terrible and I have been unsuccessful in getting help from them.  All he wants to do is install the dumb thing but does not know where to connect wires based on the info provided.  Does anyone or has anyone out there installed a similar system into a civic that can help him out.  Particularly how to hook up the keyless entry.  He has everything mounted in the car already (siren, main module, valet switch, security light), just needs help with connecting up the harness to the right wires and location.  Thanks

Use this to your discretion....i take no responsibility for the outcome of the install...but it shouldn't be too difficult...the spaces that are blank don't exist in the car. Good luck. If you have anymore question feel free to ask.

I install Ultrastart remote starters every day, but have never dealt with their alarm units. If you have any specific questions, I'll download a manual and should be able to answer any questions you have.
