Hi there,
Just looking for the wiring information for an alarm and car starter for a 2008 F-350 XL supercab 3x4. I will be adding an aftermarket lock kit (came with manual windows/locks). Also, is there a theft system in the XL models? Thanks in advance any help you can provide.

I just installed the "factory" product into my 2008 F350 diesel.  It is a code alarm product but is sold as an OEM product.  It is almost plug and play with a few connections as well as additional items like hood switch, led light etc.  It was $300 for the parts and was much easier than the typical splicing and cutting of wires since the factory harnesses were supplied for starter interrupt and items like door locks and such.  Its not as fancy as the aftermarket ones but it was nice not having to splice a bunch of wires.
