Ok I need some clarification on interpreting a manual.  The alarm is a Astra 777(yes I know it's cheap) and the car is a 2000 cavalier. 

#1 - White wire: Parking light output (+/-) relay.  Connect the white wire to the circuit that shows +12v or ground only when the parking lights are on and set the internal parking light relay jumper to the proper polarity.  For parking lights circuits exceeding 10 amps, a relay is required. Do not connect the white wire to the vehicle's headlight circuit.

I understand the part about setting the jumper I want it on + but on the other alarm I have done I just connected the white wire right to the parking light wire.  This makes it sounds like I don't want to do that.

#2 - BROWN / white wire: Horn output (-) 500ma.  Connect to an optional relay to activate the vehicles horn when the alarm is triggered.

Do I need to hook up a SPDT relay to make this work or once again do I just connect it right to the dark green horn wire on the vehicle?

#3 - Green wire: negative door trigger input (-) Connect to the door switch circuit wire that shows ground whe the door is open

The vehicles information sheet shows only one wire for the door trigger(s).  I was under the impression that I would have to diode isolate 2 triggers or can I just hook this green wire right up to the white door trigger wire.

Thanks

1. You may connect it directly only if it does not exceed their 10 ampere max. Otherwise install a relay.
2. You require a relay.
3. Yes

Thanks Mo...that is the answer I was looking for.  I don't know about needing a relay for the horn Teken, I just did a keyless entry on the same car(which I now have to remove) and I just hooked the wire from the brain right up to the horn wire on the car and it worked fine.  Does anyone know if the headlight circuit on a 2000 cav will exceed 10 amps?
