Alarm Brain Location

I just wanted to get some feedback. I have now successfully installed my third alarm thanks to 12volt.com members. However, I have a general question, can I determine the brain location prior to seeing the car. I would like to prewire the wire harness prior to installation. I think this can save me install some time. Currently I am averaging 3 hours per install(not the first one). MEH66

What I do is prep the brain..get in the car and see where everything is going...and then tape things that are going to the same spot together. Seems to work great for me.~The Rookie~

there are a few good reasons to pre-wire on the bench it will make for a cleaner install if done right. kinda going with what teamrf said, i look at my tech sheet and see if p-lights, door trigger, brake wire doorlocks, what ever it may be are in the kick panel for instance the i tape all the way down with the according wire's. it make for a easier install i think, and cleaner like i said, for a typicall car for like a 560xv(remote start+alarm) im down to about 1 - 2 hours it depends on my mood. but it works.

zip ties is what i use. i typically tie it to a main harness off to the side or way up top. somewhere out of the way and hidden but easy enopugh to get at if you need it.

I use zip ties. And EVERY installer in the bay that I work for hides the brain so if you do the car most of the time you have to pull the brain if something goes bad with it. ~The Rookie~
