I am buying a ford focus kona edition, and it comes with a factory alarm. I have a clifford alarm that I want to install in this car, but I have never installed an alarm in a car that already has one. What should I do? is there anything special I have to do? Any help please. detailed steps or articles, would be very helpful. Thank you.

what year is the focus? look up the wireing for it, there should be a factory disarm wire, and your alarm will have a disarm wire output usually, hook these two together and proceed as usual,,, hopefully (hey, you never know, not everything always goes as smooth as you'd hope) good luck ------------- Bad Boys Customs

Thank you. The year of the car is 2000. I looked up the wiring on my alarm(clifford matrix 1) and I did not see any disarm wires. I want to completly remove the factory security and install the clifford in it. Is that possible? how would I get rid of the factory one? or should I leave it in there and just disable it? Please help.

Unless the "Kona" edition is a non-US model that was imported into the US, it does not have a factory installed alarm. It will more than likely be an alarm put in at the dealership by a mechanice or an installer. You'll probably see the brain hanging under the dash with wires going everywhere. I would just remove it and install your Clifford.

yea, if it's a factory alarm, it's not commin out, if it's aftermarket (and you'll know right away if it is) then take it out ------------- Bad Boys Customs

lets say it has a fastory alarm, could I install any sensors? like glass brake? shock? remote start? any of this? and can I get the siren of an aftermarket alarm installed?. I guess my point is, I do not want the factory alarm. haha. I trust clifford better.
