I purchased a New in the box Matrix 3.5 off of Ebay.  I've taken a basic and advanced electronics class, and I've installed numerous decks and amps for friends.  However I have never installed an alarm.  What difficullty level am I looking at?  Any advice?  Also does anyone have an installation guied for the Matrix 3.5 with remote start?  Thanks, any advice will be wonderful!

thats probably one of the harder car5s for a beginner. You need resistors for the locks and know how a relay works. Also I recommend going to the battery for constant power not ign harness and you als have a chip in your key. For a first timer you are going to need a whole day to work on this. Here to help you out:

12volts      RED / lt blue (10A)       +       ignition harness
Notes: This wire is rated at 10 amps only. If installing any system with high current outputs, go to battery for 12v.
Starter      tan/lt blue       +       ignition harness
Second Starter                 
Ignition      lt GREEN/ purple       +       ignition harness
Second Ignition                 
Third Ignition                 
Accessory      BLACK/ lt green       +       ignition harness
Second Accessory                 
Keysense                 
Power Lock      pink/white       -       DKP or 26 pin plug @ GEM
Notes: Lock requires a negative trigger thru a 1,000 ohm resistor. Unlock is a negative trigger. Must use relay on both.

The GEM (generic electronic module) is behind the center console on the floor. Pull off the black panel to the right of the gas pedal, there will be carpet covering it. The plugs face the driver side of the vehicle.
Power Unlock      same wire            
Lock Motor      pink/black             DKP or 26 pin plug @ GEM
Notes: The GEM (generic electronic module) is behind the center console on the floor. Pull off the black panel to the right of the gas pedal, there will be carpet covering it. The plugs face the driver side of the vehicle.
Unlock Motor      RED / orange             DKP or 26 pin plug @ GEM
Notes: The GEM (generic electronic module) is behind the center console on the floor. Pull off the black panel to the right of the gas pedal, there will be carpet covering it. The plugs face the driver side of the vehicle.
Parking Lights+      brown             drivers kick panel
Parking Lights-      BLACK/ lt green             column or 22 pin plug @ GEM
Hazards                 
Turn Signal(L)                 
Turn Signal(R)                 
Reverse Light                 
Door Trigger      PURPLE / lt green       -       cluster or 22 pin plug @ GEM
Dome Supervision      lt GREEN/ black             drivers door harness
Notes: This wire rests at ground with the doors closed, and it is an open circuit with the drivers door open. Use a relay to interupt this wire to turn on the dome light.
Trunk/Hatch Pin                 
Hood Pin      PURPLE / orange       -       pin sw or 22 pin plug @ GEM
Trunk/Hatch Release                 
Power Sliding Door                 
Factory Alarm Arm      WHITE/ purple or lt GREEN/ black      -       DKP or 26 pin plug @ GEM
Notes: The GEM (generic electronic module) is behind the center console on the floor. Pull off the black panel to the right of the gas pedal, there will be carpet covering it. The plugs face the driver side of the vehicle.
Factory Alarm Disarm      blue/lt green       -       DKP or 26 pin plug @ GEM
Notes: The GEM (generic electronic module) is behind the center console on the floor. Pull off the black panel to the right of the gas pedal, there will be carpet covering it. The plugs face the driver side of the vehicle.
Disarm No Unlock                 
Tachometer                 
Notes: On the ZETEC motor use GREEN/ purple or lt GREEN / WHITE at the coil pack. The Duratec motor has a coil for each cylinder, go to any one and use the wire that is NOT WHITE/ purple.
Wait to start                 
Brake Wire      lt green       +       brake pedal switch
Parking Brake                 
Horn Trigger      yellow/lt green       -       steering column
Notes: May be in the SRS harness. Use a meter to test to avoid setting any codes or deploying the airbag.
Memory Seat 1                 
Memory Seat 2                 
Memory Seat 3                 
Immobilizer Bypass Module:      Required: Yes      Type: SecuriLock      Part #: 555S, 556U, or 555U
Notes: Use the BLACK/ pink (+) key sense wire at the ignition harness to interrupt the blue wire on the 555S or 555U so that when the key is inserted to do take over the vehicle does not see two transponders at the same time. Refer to DirectFax document 1079 for wiring information.

Thanks for the info CruisinS&S, I've been quoted around $200.00 for the install job (by an autorized dealer) so I think I'll just go that route rather than install this one myself.  Thanks again.
