as the tite states, what is your opinion on the sole use of posi taps while installing a car alarm or remote start system?

is it a safe & reliable method?

do you have any exerience with them?

and would you rather reccomend the cut and wrap method (with or without soldering)?

thank you!

If they are what is normally known as IDC (=insulation displacement connectors), A.K.A. Scotchloks, not to be used under any circumstances.

AWAYS SOLDER and INSULATE.

This topic has been scorched so many times most may have gotten tired of replying, lol! Always solder and insulate, no two ways about it!
