Im thinking about picking up a Code Alarm model number CA630 (alarm/keyless/remote start) system and self installing it into a 2000 (non grand) Cherokee. This Jeep does NOT have a "chip" in the key. But it does have remote locks, and a panic button.
FIrst off, i should state that i have never installed an alarm system before. But I am a DIY type of person, i do all my stereo installs, and Work on my own cars (well, as far as working on my car my father plays a big part in that department.)
So my main questions are:
-If i purchase the CA630 system is there ANYTHING else Needed to get the alarm and remote start up an running on a 2000 Cherokee?
-Is the CA630 a deceint relieable product?
I tried looking around the net for an install guide Specificly for a 2000 cherokee, but unable to come up with anything. I guess im trying to figured out how Big of a task this really is before i dive into it.
I called around a few local install shops to get some price quotes for alarm with installation:
~250 for alarm install
and
~350 for alarm with RS install
For these price im tempted to give it a try myself.
But dont want to get in over my head.
thank you

You can easily get in over your head. Alarms and RS are not just 3 wires like an amp. You need to know MUCH more about electronics, cars, and how they interact with each other.
