Some vehicles will allow arming and disarming of the factory alarm. Here is the lock, unlock, and alarm wires in your car. You do actually have an option with your factory alarm on that car. Power Lock      pink/black      -      driver kick, red 20 pin plug, pin 2 or BCM, white 20 pin plug, pin 3 Notes: The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the front of the center console, below the ashtray. Power Unlock      yellow/black      -      driver kick, red 20 pin plug, pin 3 or BCM, white 20 pin plug, pin 11 Notes: The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the front of the center console, below the ashtray. To unlock the driver door only, use orange (-) at the BCM, gray 24 pin plug, pin 7 or the relay box, 8 pin plug, pin 6. The relay box is behind the fuse box. Factory Alarm Arm      yellow      -      driver kick, brown 18 pin plug, pin 6 or BCM, white 20 pin plug, pin 1 Notes: The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the front of the center console, below the ashtray. Meter this wire while turning the key in the driver door key cylinder. Factory Alarm Disarm      orange (double pulse)      -      driver kick, gray 24 pin plug, pin 3 or BCM, white 20 pin plug, pin 2 Notes: The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the front of the center console, below the ashtray. Meter this wire while turning the key in the driver door key cylinder. Kenny

The door triggers are not required on that car. They are mainly used with aftermarket alarm systems or on manual transmission vehicles (for the Manual Transmission Sequence)Kenny

Thanks so much, offroad! I'll dive back in tomorrow.

if I remember correctly the wires can be real tough to get to behind the center console. You are better off taking apart as much as you can to get as much access as you can to the wires. And if you have someone to help you it will make testing the wires a lot easier.Kenny

I'm quite sure that I can get at all those wires at the drivers LH kick panel. Thanks.

You can get all the other wires at the driver's kick panel. There is no need to go to the BCM. The horn input and output wires, you only really need the horn honk output but connecting them together like Kenny suggested doesn't hurt. I believe all Sonatas have an arm and disarm wire. The one I did had lock, unlock, arm, disarm and power trunk wire at the Drivers Kick Panel.

I couldn't remember if they were in the DKP as well or not. Its been a while... lolKenny

OK, I'm ready to get back at it. Just wondering about testing these little (-) 200mA wires. I was trying to test the trunk release wire when I quit last night and wasn't seeing anything on my DMM when I hit the button on the factory keyless. I've got my meter (and leads) in the DCA 200m position. It's possible, of course, that I don't have the correct wire. My info from wirecolor.com shows that as a white wire in a brown 18 pin connector, pin 16(?), but their own list identifies the trunk release as a blue wire behind the fuse box. Can anyone confirm?

The easiest way I've found for testing for a ground is to connect the red lead to known 12v source and use the black lead to test your wire. It should show a voltage while testing. Just know that depending on the "speed" of your DMM it may not register a full 12volts. Once you are confident you have the wire you can use a fused wire to ground out the wire and check that it locks/unlocks/does whatever it is supposed to do.Kenny

OK, so I should still have my meter set to read voltage?
