hi, my question that i hope that someone can answer is:
in my installation directions(which i can post a picture of if needed) say(connections i have questions about are bold with the question following it underlined:
Left Plug : black- grounding(obvious), red- 12v+(obvoius), white- light (o/p +5A), white- light (o/p +5a)[yes this was on there 2 times and have wires to match] what lights do i connect these to? the parking lights?, BLACK/ white- open dormer (o/p -500mA) what are they calling a dormer? , WHITE/ blue- engine cap (o/p -500 mA) is this a wire used to tell me if my hood gets opened? if so how would i connect it?, GREEN/ black- rolling up windows (o/p -500mA), RED / white- the trunk (o/p -500mA) would this used to tell me if my trunk is opened?, green- unlock (o/p -500mA), blue- lock (o/p -500mA)
Right Plug : RED / black- turn off headlight (i/p +), purple- side door positive (i/p+), green- side door negitive (i/p -) any ideas on what this would be connected to? if it is to be used for telling me if the doors get opened then let me know and i can take care of the trunk and doors with the same connection :-)
yes, i am a newbie at alarm installation but i consider myself knowledgeable in automotive electronics and audio installations, i know that audio and alarm installations are very different but it may help :-)
my vehicle is an 02 eclipse gt 5 speed. the alarm model is option group model LD 168 SIRES(should that be series? just going by what the book said)
please let me know what you guys/gals think, i am hoping to install the alarm this weekend(ive had the alarm for over a year and have yet to attempt to install it and am tired of it sitting around protecting nothing) and if anyone needs more information please let me know that as welll

If at first you do not complete the project, read the instructions.
2 light flash wires for european cars? save these wires for last and just meter tham during arm/disarm. "dormer" is most likely for dome supervision. if ur dome comes on with unlock, ignore this wire. engine cap i have no clue about. RED / white is probably trunk trigger input, instant on. purple is probably negative door trigger, green is probably positive door trigger, if i'm reading the instructions correctly. door triggers are usually progressive, so don't hook up trunk and doors on the same wire, for ur own sanity. i have never heard of option group alarms, so don't quote me. call tech support when in doubt

EK Civic
security
no audio
to be honest, im just gonna scratch installing it and get like a viper or clifford and go that way, this alram has no tech support or anything so im gonna just go with one that does and either sell or part out this one, thanks though and if anyone wants it, let me know
