begginer with installing alarms

I am in the same boat.  Well kind of.  I haven't done the previous installs like dannyboi.  But, I think I can put 2 and 2 together to get 5. 

Installs seem like such a daunting task at first, to me at least as a beginner.  Let me know if you come up with any good tips.

Thanks,

Just finished mine (for the most part).  First off, if you have remote start I suggest you do it last.  Keep all wires nice and neat for each connector (zip ties or electric tape).  A lot neater and easier if there is a problem.  Get at least 2 (I used 3) "cheat sheets".  Compare and make sure they're all lining up.  If you have a stock alarm it makes it a little easier as you can see where the manufacturer tapped into the wires.  Get butt connectors and T-taps of different gauge ranges.  Take your time, never rush.  For your first time the instruction manual will look mostly foreign to you.  I have installed many head units and complete stereo systems, but this is a different ballgame.  The best way I've found is to look under the dash and have the manual there.  Don't touch, just read.  Once you find the wires and get a basic idea of what needs to be done, the install should go a lot smoother.  Another think you may concider if you have a short attention span and or lose things easily, is to sit down with your manual and the cheat sheets, and map out what connects to what, and the approx. location of the wire you need for each wire.  Other than that, don't get discouraged, and stay calm.  By the way- depending on the car, you may need to get a special module to bypass the transponder (immobilizer system).  Maybe make friends with some people who work in a mobile shop- they can help if you get stuck.  Guess that's about all I know to say except Good Luck!
