Quick Survey: How long does alarm install take you

Hey awd_sr,

That's a trick question.  If it's for a paying customer in a busy shop then in about two to three hours with door locks in a Cherokee 2001.  I use a 455J Databus controller from DEI to control factory arm/disarm, doorlocks with driver's door priority, and domelight supervision. 

If it's for me or a customer who's ready to shell out a few extra dollars then twice that time.  For that price I remove the inner fender to hide the siren, all wires are passed in loom or taped with factory tape to immitate the OEM harnesses or I'll hide it in a guttet out BCM or cruise box which I place in a typical location under the dash or seat.

If it's just the alarm.... about 4 hours. 6 with a remote starter/ keyless entry/ transponder bypass, etc......

I can't agree more with cva2000 about the " birds nest ". I prefer a fresh car than a car with a previously installed system for the fact that you never know what the other mofo installer did to the wires !! Fresh is always better..... right ??
