I have a colorado crew cab and want to put the autopage 860 behind the rear seat wall along with both my roll up modules.Currently i have a crimestopper 2016FM (that works fine) located under the heat controls.I will have to extend alot of wires,exept the FM antenna will be fine.I know i need bigger gauge for adding length.The only wires that really concern me are the accesory and the ignition,the trucks starter(keysense) is 20 gauge so thats no big deal with a 16 gauge.Its going to get power from heavy gauge wire behind the seat.Yeah why do it all this way, because i enjoy it and i want the under dash to be clean with the LCD monitor brain box going in there as well.Any PRO advice or knowledge will be grateful.Is there going to be problems with the added length of up tp 10 feet?

you can always use relays off the alarm, then run a constant voltage from the batt to the relays, and the wires off the relays to the ignition switch. this way you wont be pulling the amperage through the alarm itself, but the relays instead.

The wires at the column are 20 gauge so the computer controls the IGN ACC STARTER as to send signal to start and run.So extending them should not matter.It aleady serves as a relay.Thanks that just made me think.So extending shound not matter.
