i have an aftermarket addon alarm i am not using the ground when armed wire,the trunk trigger input wire,the siren output wire,the door unlock validation input wire and the positive door trigger input wire,are there any other things i can hook up to theses unused wires.Also i hooked up my alarm today its working fine and i ran the lock/unlock-arm/disarm wires to the remote accessory control module not the door lock motors.

So you want a keyless entry but not actually an alarm correct? This would explane why you dont have the siren output wire connected. Your trunk release wire can be used for anything really. That wire can be programed depending hat you want to use it for. You cn use it for a window module, to turn on/off a radio, neon lights, really anything. The ground when armed can be used for a starter kill, use for sensors, a LED for when the vehicle is armed. Your alarm should have a positive door trigger wire and a negative door trigger wire. You ONLY want to use 1 of these. If your doors are a negative trigger, then you only use the negative wire and dont connect the positive one to ANYTHING. If you connect both, you will fry the brain. If your alarm only has one or the other, you can use a relay to change polarity if needed.  Another thing, do your doors still lock and unlock when you press the arm and disarm buttons on the remote?

i am using my vehicles horn instead of a siren my car horn is much louder than a siren ,yes my doors still unlock and lock when i press the lock unlock buttons on my factory keyless entry transmitter.i wont use the negative door trigger if it cant be used for accessorie since my locks are positive and the positive trigger is used.also on my car the trunk is monitored through my door open input (if my doors or trunk are opened my alarm sounds they are on the same wire,which is why my trunk wire isnt being used on my alarm.but i am going to hook up a motion sensor today ,i am just going to tap it into the shock sensors harness both sensors have the same wire setup.

Ok. Just make sure you DONT run other sensor's power wires into the shock sensor's power. Power it seperatly or else you will fry the brain. Also make sure you use diodes for each sensor's trigger wire. You dont need to sicne your alarm cant tell each sensor apart but I do it just to be safe. Another thing.. That trunk wire might be your trunk release wire, not a trunk trigger wire. Is that wire an input or output?

I used my trunk wire for the headlights to turn on when i get home late at night. It also scares off the cat when he tries to sleep next to my car. LOL
