ok cool i got my siren wire through this one rubber part and hidden in with all my other wires.   Any particular battery you recomend? And could i run both batteries into the alarm, so the dry cell will be kind of my backup?  How do siren backup batteries work?  Isnt it kinda pointless if a theif is gonna cut ur siren wires he'll cut off the siren back up battery wires too?  Sorry for all my newbie questions

well the idea is that you hide the siren supply wire so well that the thief cannot figure out which wires to cut. thats why i said make sure  you hide the wire /siren well. I think that the ideal installation should have atleast 2  well hidden backup sirens. I have 3 fitted to my van and an internal strobe siren for good measure. but i must admit i sleep better with  the Infared cctv system doing the night shiftwhere to hide alarm cpu? - Page 4 -- posted image.

My alarm acts very crazy.  I checked everything and seems that i wired it fine.  I dunno if its interfering with my factory lock unlock system?  E.g.  When my siren sounds, it is uncontrollabe, i cant stop it for sum reason.  Pressing arm disarm wont do anything, after like 30 seconds the system automatically disarms itself, then my arm/disarm button works again.  When the system is unarmed, my factory unlock doesn't work, but when it is armed, they do work. The alarm is not able to lock/unlock.  When i am programming my features, everything seems to be ok, the siren chirps on confirmations, the controller works fine too. My parking lights dont flash when arming and disarming.  Wut could be wrong?  I checked all the wires, they are wired to the correct places.  Before i soldered everything together, the system seemed to work fine, but now it has a mind of its own.  Would it have to do anything with the power source?  I connected my power wires to the 12 volt wire inside, i don't think that would make a difference would it?  Or maybe the guy sold me a jacked up alarm chip....

My center console is pretty small and has a bunch of metal bars in it and my head unit is metal too.  Wouldn't that interfere with my proximity sensor?  .  Any other suggestions of where i should put it?

Have you tried placing it there. The proximity sensors is microwave based so it will pass through the metal with ease. The center console area should be sufficient for any type proximity sensor.

My alarm installation has been successful, it works pretty good. I annoyed the crap out of my neighbors while programming my alarm where to hide alarm cpu? - Page 4 -- posted image.   I hid all my wiring, looks very oem.  Also, no one will every find my siren, i found a special place for it.  Special thanks to velocity motors and for the owners of this website and others who helped me through this project.  The only problem now is that my interiior light dont come on when i open the doors, it worked a while ago, but now it doesnt.  Kind of strange but im tired of messing with my car and im gonna call it a project for now.  Again thanks to everyboday.

For the light, maybe the light bulb burned out. Check it to see if this is the case.

Check to see if the pin switch is sticking and also verifiy that the signal is going from the pin switch to the light at the pin switch.
