Most kits include a hood pin switch. Usually Compustars have a hood pin input called (-) Hood Input. On the CM4200 it's a Grey/Black wire at CN3 Pin 2. Can't see whick brain you have from the picture.

I prefer to use a mercury switch like the DEL 8613. Not drilling and no rust.

The (-) Status Output ( GWR ) is normally used for a bypass module. Your vehicle does not require one because it does not have an ignition immobilizer.
