got the alarm in, remote start works great, thanks for the help guys!

another question though, there is a wire with a 200mA capacity that becomes grounded when armed for the dome light to come on. If i connect this to the door switch, (becomes grounded when opened) wire, can i do it straight or will it damage the brain if i dont use a relay? The bulb is a 12volts, 100watts. i already have 3 relays wired up and im kinda tired of non-outboard relays... thanks guys!

uhh, if V=Watt/Amp than 12=10/x, x=1.2Amp. 200mA = .2A right?

yeah u will want to get a relay and use that-- It is not the wires capacity but the unit has a 200ma transistorized output if it draws more than that the output will blow and your unit will be smoked! Hey its only 1 relay anyways and an easy hookup at that!!good luck
