I'm currently using the factory security system that came with my '03 Honda Pilot since I just had the Clifford G4 uninstalled to accomodate an Astrostart Remote Starter that would only integrate with the factory system.  The factory system does not have a shock or glass breakage sensor and since I have the shock sensor from the G4 that's not being used, I'd like to integrate it into my factory system.  The sensor is part number DEI 504M, DEI OEM STINGER DOUBLEGUARD SHOCK / IMPACT SENSOR.  I was wondering if it is possible to do this and if so what I have to hook it up to.  The sensor has four wires: 12v, ground, warn, alarm.  I just need to know what wires on the Pilot's system connects to the "warn" and "alarm" wires on the sensor.

What are you looking for the shock sensor to do? If your factory alarm doesn't have provisions for a warn away type of alarm, the sensor would have to be used to just trigger a full alarm cycle. If that's what you want, you could use the sensor to drive a circuit that can stretch out the pulse output if necessary, and control a relay, which can then be connected to one of the factory trigger inputs, like a hood switch or door sensor. The shock sensor probably won't interface directly with the factory alarm, since it may not have enough drive capability or sufficient duration to trigger the factory alarm inputs.

You just need to find out the details of available triggers for the factory alarm to see what you might need to buffer the sensor output.
