Hey, First of all I have an 02 Subaru WRX and I'm getting a Clifford Matrix 3.5.  Right now I am planning the install out. I think I've got it about all figured out, but my one question is concerning the domelight supervision output. I understand that I wire up the door trigger input on the alarm to the door trigger of the car in the integrated module. But there is a domelight output on the clifford, does this wire go into the door trigger wire of the car too or is there a domelight wire in the car? What is the purpose of this wire, wouldn't my domelight go on when the doors are locked and off when unlocked anyway? And do I need a relay, the clifford output says it's only 200mA so it probably wouldn't power my domelight?

TheMort,

you want to hook up the domelight wire (black w/ white stripe with the green wire)  with the door trigger together..

to get the dome light to work.,

no you dont.....   you want to wire it up through a relay and then into the domelight circuit...this output is a 100ma low current negative out......

i almost never hook this feature up, it's silly and pretty much useless... women tend to like it.... when you disarm the alarm the interior light comes on so that you can see no one is hiding in your car....
