compustar pro 2w9000 fm, 1999 ek coupe

Today I had a Compustar pro 2w9000 fm, installed on my 1999 ek coupe by KS Autotek a place my mechanic recommended. I paid almost 600 dollars with battery backup. While I was at the shop I didn't have a chance to really look over the install because I was almost an hour late for work. I got home tonight and checked it out with my brother, so far the alarm seems pretty good, decent range and all. As soon as I opened my hood the first thing I saw was the siren and the alarm wires going to it, in their own little black wire tubing. The siren is almost sitting on top of my intake manifold, and the brain is right under the dash I was able to feel it with my hand before even looking for it. Is this just a common non stealth install or a bad job?

Well thats something a shop would have to take into consideration.  The main focus is to make it work and finish it as soon as possible.  Is it really a bad job? The answer is totally up to you.  What were your expectations.  If all a thief has to do is put his hand under the dash to disarm the alarm then youi tell me what is the point of the bakup battery if the main alarm is already unplugged?????

My expectations were that the brain was going to be hidden inside the dash where you would have to rip the whole thing out to gain access to it. I also thought that they were going to put the alarm wires in the oem wire looms not on there own. The reason I got backup battery was because I didn't think they could just rip the brain out and cut the wires to the siren because I thought they were going to be hidden.

Umm well having an Ek myself there alot of room underneath the dash. As a customer i would go back and have then zip tie the brain to a "hard to reach" place. For a shop to loom all there wire is good. Nobody uses oem loom. Or some people use heat shrink but that will take some time. Sound to me they did a pretty desent install other than the placement of the brain. I bet they will be more than glad to move it somewhere move hidden. Again on theives. If i were to steal a car, and an alarm alerted. I will dip out with the quickness. So i dont think you have to worry about them reaching underneath the dash "hoping" that the main control module is "in your face". Nah i mean! Word. If you have a  manual trans. I will suggest asking them for a ignition kill relay not starter kill. Just a tip."dont ground out!"

Thank you. What is the difference between the two?

well for a man trans with a auto start and alarm. You can still push start the car if equipped with a starter kill. To "pop" the clutch the ignition has to be hot. So therefore if you have a normally open relay that seperates the ignition wire. they can't jump start the doodie. Word"dont ground out!"

In order to pop start the car your key had to be in the on position. I i do always park with my clutch club and i make sure the steering wheel is locked.
