What is the best source of info for new car wiring/disassembly? I know about techsoft for dei dealers but what so you non authorized installers use? Ive seen the omega cd. but not sure about the quality,,, I tried scosche's online library but it's pretty weak. I mainly need wiring codes for installing alarms & nav systems & i'm willing to pay for a good library.

Thanks in advance

i agree with kgerry, even tho the best is usually your own hands on experience.

www.the12volt.com has more than enough info. they have the database of car 2000 and older. you can also search on the forum for the new cars up to 2004 that ppl have listed.

thus, the best database..... the12volt.com posted_image

Thanks Guys! I just tires wiremagic's one week demo & found it to be rather weak.... Alot of the cars that I had in my brain already, that I checked on wiremagic were either inaccurate or they had you going a lot farhter than you need to go to find the wire(like under the hood when it's under the dash). A lot of the cars listed also are missing most of the info they brag about having. I find it to be not worth it for what they charge. Anybody here use the omega cd?? For less than $100, im thinking of giving it a try.
