Now the big question is how do I do it? My Doors on my car are Grounded when closed and Open when Open. My Car alarm takes a negative input for Door Open Detection. So I need to convert the Ground signal when the door is closed to an Open signal, and the Open signal when the door is Open to a Ground signal. I know (think) that this can be done with a relay, but need some help as to how to wire it. And just to make it more complicated, I need both doors to trigger the same Ground signal if either is Opened.

Yes, It is an 05 Mustang, I have installed the Mannix Alarm system. Everything else is great except for the door trigger. I can't use the Dome light because it has a delay and ends up making the alarm set off about a half hour after setting it.

So I have the Mannix with Remote Start. From what I could see on the Internet, I am supposed to use the 555F bypass module however the car does not seem to recognize it. Do you have any other suggestions or should I just go to the Universal version that requires a PATS keys to be hidden in the module itself.

Also, my alarm take negative input for Door Open Sensing. As others have described, the Mustang has a delay on the dome light, so it does not work well for this purpose. That said, the Door triggers themselves are Grounded when the door is closed and Open when the Door is Open. How can I use a relay to change this to Grounded when the door is Open and Open when the door is closed?

Well, you can always use a 556u. You alarm should have a positive door trigger input (usually purple), If not then use a relay to reverse the polarity.
