iam thinking about getting a 2 way pager alarm (prestige 996, clifford, viper or hornet) I was wondering if it is worth it to even attempt to do this? BTW this would be my first ever alarm install, and i drive a 94 acura integra 2 door. one more question..... if i buy one of those alarms will i need anything else to make it operational? thank you very much -alan

If the vehicle is a manual transmission vehicle you will also need to bypass the clutch

*1 Also found in a 16 pin white or gray plug to the left of the fusebox. *2 In the larger of two attached gray plugs in the lower kick near the firewall. If equipped with cruise control, the plugs are behind the module. To access, remove the lower bolt on the bracket holding the module and pull it up out of the way. The lock wires test only with the passenger lock and unlock switch. *3 Also a male blade terminal is available in fuse box. *4 Looks like 14 awg wire but mostly insulation. *5 Use both and diode isolate each. *6 12 pin blue plug on top center of fusebox. ------------- Jeff

hey......am i suppose to splice into all the wires and soldier connections? as for wires that are listed in the engine bay...... (such as the tach wire) how does that work? thanks

Yes, solder and tape all connections. The wires in the engine bay you should split tube loom all wires after you have sodlered and taped the connections.
