my alarm system came w/ a cheap antenna witch i was barely able get any reaction 10 feet away. i tried connecting my alarm up to my car's stock (radio) antenna and it works great, i don't know if its healthy or not, but it doesn't interfere w/ the radio reception at all, but it boosted up my remote start/alarm range drastically. just wanted to help some people out there since you all helped me so much. thank you very much

hi.. vinh766, "that sounds great"

How do you conect the antena? Do you stripe the wire of your antenna alarma and conect it to the midle wire of the car antenna?

How do you do it? I want to know exactly to do it.

thanks.

1. cut ur alarm antenna wire

2. strip wire ((positive and negetive are not side by side, but inside each other)seperate the two wires from each other)

3. locate car antenna wire

4. do the same to the car antenna wire (would be best if you don't cut the wire, but to splice it, becuause it still has to connect to ur car radio

5. connect the two wires (outside w/ outside, inside w/ inside)

6. patch it up

it should work, my works great, the range is soo much better then my alarm antenna

please reply and let me know how it turns out

Some, actually few, alarms have mini-coax cable for the antenna (I Think its RG-174). Usually the shielding of the coax is going to ground and the center conductor is going to the RF Receiver section of the alarm. If you only have the single wire coming out. that would go to the center conductor of the car stereo antenna coax.
