A friend of mine has a 2005 Dodge Magnum that he wants me to install a clifford intelliguard 750, intellistart & smart windows on. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how difficult it is to install an alarm, remote start on this vehicle. I have installed several alarms on different cars before, but have never done any chrysler/dodge vehicles. And from looking at the wiring diagram for this vehicle, i see that you have to use alot of relays and resistors. Any help, opinions or comments would be appreciated.

its not a hard car if you used an xk532 made by www.xpresskit.com other wise these car have a wire thats known as a MUX wire that is a single wire that has two functions one is acc and second starter wire tru a resistance door locks also have a resistance other than that is a straight fowerd car. grab your 12volts from the batt or somewhere els beside the ing harness that is a low current

I installed the alarm, remote start & xk532 interface module just as the instructions told me to & now I'm having trouble programming the xk532 interface module to get the door locks & remote start to work with the alarm. Please help me!! ------------- CEDRIC

One more thing, do i still use resistors for the door locks being that i have this interface or does the interface learn the resistance values?

And where would i get a 1670ohm resistor for the parking light output from?

parking lights are positive (+) at passenger kick panel don't bother with the resistors you do not need the resistors for the door locks

i got the parking lights to work from the positive output in the pass. kick panel, but i'm still having trouble with the xk532 interface module.

Can you be more specific? What isn't it doing?

The light comes on when i plug in the harness, but it's not programming at all. Do i cut the mux PURPLE / brown wire or just tap into it with the violet wire from the xk532 interface?

The violet/brown mux wire does not need to be cut. Also, you should be connecting the violet/white from the XK532 to the mux; the violet from the XK532 should go to the WHITE/ orange data wire at the SKIM module.

Getting to that SKIM module is difficult because of its location, but I followed the harness down to an easier location to tap into the WHITE/ orange data wire. Another problem about this violet/brown wire, maybe i'm a lil color blind, but i see a what looks like a violet/orange wire in the ignition harness, not a violet/brown.

Meter the wire; it should show voltage without the key inserted, and the voltage reading should decrease with each step as you:
1. Insert the key.
2. Turn to run position.
3. Turn to crank position.

Ok, i will try that. Now I have another problem; I hooked up the horn wire for the alarm at the horn under the hood like the wiring diagram for this vehicle said, but the horn doesnt honk when the alarm is triggered. I double and triple checked my connection and I get a reading when I test the connection with my meter. But the horn doesnt work on this car unless the key is in the acc. or on position.

My info says horn is dk. GREEN/ orange (+) at the horns themselves under the hood as well...are you using a relay to connect to the horn wire there?

at first i didnt use a relay, but then i tried wiring the horn input with a relay and still didnt get anything. ------------- CEDRIC

you should use a relay. 85 - negative horn trigger from unit
86 - constant 12v
87 - constant 12v
30 - to horn wire on car you must go into programming and set the horn option so when the alarm is triggered, both the horn AND siren will wail.
