first off, what kind of vehicle is this on? did they install a trunk acuator? or did it already have power truck pop? usually the wiring from the antenna won't reach all the way to the rear window in most cars. and why did the doors not lock/unlock? you definately got ripped. |

My vehicle: 95 240sx base model (without factory power door lock)
I purchased from them the optional 552T to enable trunk pop via the AUX button for around $80 installed.
I wanted to get those auto dimming+compass+temperature+map light rearview mirror, but the installed never asked me for the location to mount the antenna, now the responder antenna is in the way, I dunno what kind of double side tape or glue on the back, and how to remove it.
Regarding to the door not lock/unlock, I screwed that up last night when trying to add a switch.

My car doesn't have factory alarm. What does the aux output do? Is it like pushing 2 or 3 buttons simultanlously to pop the hood, honk the horn or the like?

You know, I'd assume the customers know nothing about car alarm. Of course, any such feature comes with it, customers most likely would want that to be added/enabled. I paid them $80 for 552T, they have gotta assume I want trunk protection, or do something related to the trunk.

When they installed a different unit, they should have included the extra remote as was planned. Why did you buy one on eBay? |

I was just an ordinary customer who couldn't remember which model comes with which features. Before I left my car there, I did looked up and found that 10.5x suit me the best. I didn't remember the feature of 3.5x other than remote start, so I didn't know 3.5x comes with just one 2-way responder remote. In fact, 10.5x comes with one 2-way responder remote and one 4-button remote.
I didn't want to spend extra on eBay but I planned on using the 4-button remote 90% of the time.

Is there a chart you can look it up for 95 240sx? Or is the antenna cable extendable?

On some cars, the rearview mirror doesn't allow the antenna to be in the exact center |

But that wasn't the case for my car, there are plenty of space, but somehow they just didn't mount it center. Around 3 inches to the left is way too obvious and it looked too sloppy. They said once its mounted, can't remove it without risking to break it.

Regarding to the trunk, I took my car back to the shop, they said that's how trunk works, what can I argue? I took it back because my trunk popped while driving. Now, everytime I close the trunk, I have to use my hand try to pop it and make sure it's locked, paid $80 for more by-hand works.
They charged $100 for the audiovox and another nonbrand actuators installed.
So does my car need to get pinswitch in order to enable trunk trigger? How about the hood. Which DEI model are they? Is it difficult to DIY?

This store has been in business for over 15 years, I guess they are authorized seller. Here's the link: http://www.audiowerk.com/
So after reading my reply, please comment using your professional alarm installer skills and judgement, tell me which wire or feature that's not currently hooked up should have the store or DIY if simple, to get it right, as if you were installing this alarm to your very own car.
BTW, I'll be adding 507M, piezo siren 513T and 520T, if that matters your decision.
One more thing, should BROWN horn(-) 200mA output of H4 be hooked up as standard? I plan to DIY a train horn into my car, should be triggered via relay with ground pulse. Can this brown wire be connected to blast the train horn when necessary?
