2002 subaru impreza rs, clifford 50.7x

I am installing a Clifford 50.7x into my 2002 Subaru Imprea RS on thursday, and seeings as this alarm/ remote start is a little bit more complicated than previous installs, as well as having far more features, I have a few questions I hope you can help me clarify. H1 = Main Harness H2 = H2 Harness H3 = Remote Start here are my questions: H1/4 WHITE/ Brown Parking Light Isolation Wire - Pin 87a of onboard relay - my vehicle has (-) parking lights, can I just connect the parking Light output (H1/11) to the parking lights, or do I need to use this relay? ***Just connect the white wire and position the fuse for negative parking light output*** H1/9 BLACK/ White (-) 200mA Dome Light Supervision - what purpose does this serve, I have the door triggers connected, do I need this? ***Don’t connect this wire, not needed unless you want your domelight to come on when unlocking the vehicle*** H2/9 Violet/White Tachometer Input - this is more of a vehicle specific question, can I use the green at the back of the gauge cluster or would it be better to use the crankshaft or camshaft position sensor? ***If you’re installing on a automatic vehicle, not needed. You can set virtual tach. If you have a manual transmission, connect to one of the injectors*** H2/18 BLACK/ White (-) Neutral Safety Input - My vehicle produces a ground when in gear, which is opposite this wire. I plan on connecting this to the ebrake switch, I would still like to use the neutral safety switch on the transmission and I have read that i can do this by combining it with the hood pin, do I need to use a diode or something like that? ***Connect to ground if it’s an automatic transmission or to e-brake if manual*** H3/1 Pink (+) Ignition 1 Input/Output - I believe I should connect this to the Ignition wire on the vehicle ***Yes*** H3/6 Red Ignition 1 Input (30A fused) - I believe that this would be the positive source for the onboard Ignition relay. ***Red, RED / White, RED / Black to positive 12V source of vehicle…heaving gauge.*** what, if any, of the connections need diodes or relays or any other special attention? The installation manual says if you screw the brain w/onboard shock sensor to the steering column or anything else metal it will negatively affect the shock sensors sensitivity, how should I mount it then? ***I use tie raps to attach it to some of the vehicle’s harnesses*** Sylvain Rochon

Thanks for the answers, I forgot to say it was a manual transmission. just to clarify, you are saying to tie strap the brain to a wire harness?I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

yes...more sensitive to vibration when mounted that way....If you have anymore questions, see my profile and you'll find my email. You can send me direct emails.Sylvain Rochon

Personally, I would still run tach to that green wire, it's easier than the engine bay, I would also connect the BLACK/ white to the NSS on the engine management. You will find it tests NEG. if the gearshift is in neutral which is what you want. If it doesn't a relay powered with your ignition will do the trick. See my post in this section on Neutral safety.

I am going to use the green tach wire first, as it is right there, and if it doesn't work I'll use a wire at the ECU. for the neutral safety switch I am going to use a method I saw on Scoobymods.com where you use a relay with the neutral safety switch, e-brake wire, and 2nd ignition relay to ouput to the neutral safety input on the unit.

another question I had, I was planning on wiring the status output to the clutch wire to tell the car the clutch is engaged, do I need a relay?

what connections should be diode isolated?

Use the negative start signal to the (purple / YELLOW wire) at the clutch pedal.

Neutral safety wire directly to e-brake and do the clutch as per Buddholly wrote. The door trigger input from the r/s which is green to the yellow wire at the keyless module which is left of steering column.Sylvain Rochon

I appreciate the info and the help, I will use the wiring listed on scoobymods because I like the double back up, e-brake and it has to be in neutral.

what connections need diodes? I know the neutral safety does because it shows the ground in gear and +12v in neutral.

Ref the last post: Are you sure, I thoughtall NSS wires showed ground at neutral.
