Im about to start installing my alarm into my 4runner and wanted to ask if the factory alarm will need to be either disabled or uninstalled? I found the module underneith my seat. Im thinking i can use alot of those wires to tap into for the install. Also im a little confused on the starter kill I have an fm2009 alarm and it already was wired into a car. So there are some relays already but im not quite sure i know what im doing. If someone could just help me with the wiring i would be ready to go.

1994 4 runner

FM 2009 Alarm with remote start.

Please help!!

About to finish my install on my 4runner and just doing some research on either to go tachless or install the tach cable. The directions i have found tell me its a black cable at the diags box. I checked and its inside of like 2 differect heat shrink covers. I can take that off but is it worth it?

Please assist. Thanks

Tach is the only tried and true method to ensure a consistent RS, each time.

Got my alarm finally installed but i have noticed that the siren is not working. I took this alarm out of another car that i didnt install. I found that they are using a relay for the siren. Is that needed?

Its an fm2009 alarm. Please help. Thanks

Probably used relays because it had more than a couple of sirens hooked up to the siren wire. Check the output of the siren wire to see if your getting a current from it.

Ya there was 2 sirens hooked up but im only using one. I will check that later. If i just use the one do i need to use relays?

If you just use one, then you don't need a relay.
