Cleaning up a remote start/alarm

I have one simple question for all the pros on this forum. Can you guyz offer any tips on making a remote starter/alarm install look like factory? No matter how hard i try it ends up looking like a jumble of wires.

First i find a mounting spot for the brain that is up and out of the way, then i make 2 or 3 tails of wire, all the wires that go to the kick, then to the ing, then to the hood. then i take each wire to lenght and cut it, solder tape, then loom. that is how i do it. just mae sure your routing your wire where it is not in the way of anything.D

Nothing is impossable, it's just more expensive.

Sounds like you aren't planning out the installs good enough. The failsafe way to a clean install is to find EVERY wire you need before you do ANYTHING. Then when you prep your module you can tape a few runs of wire rather than run each wire individually. Once prepped get in the car and mount the module loosely in it's final spot. Then run the wires to their locations, tap in, done.. I can remember one of my first alarm installs way back. Didn't need any wire ties for the module as it was suspended by the "web" of wires I created. Mike

thnks a lot guys i'll try doing that

i usually do as much prewire as i can on my workbench. bring all grounds/12v together so you only have 1 wire. also twist anywires that are going to the same place together...and lots of electrical tape. i completely tape all harnesses then zip tie to all the facotry wires. you usually can't even tell that i put a system in, well and least most cars.

I think the main hint I can give you is to follow factory harnesses as much as possible. If you follow harnesses and use lots of zip ties your work is gonna improvedouble-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer
