these are the only wires needed:

Constant 12V+      
Starter      
Ignition      
Trunk Pin(optional)      
Parking Lights            
Door Trigger      
Door Lock      
Door Unlock

couple diodes might need if trunk input wire do not exist on your alarm unit.

You do not need to use the purple + door trigger input of the alarm, it is provided for cars that supply a positive as opposed to a negative trigger. Your vehicle has a negative trigger dome light so there is no need for the positive trigger input to the system.

I do not have a diagram for the K9 Classic alarm, but most systems offer either a negative trigger output for door locks or a reversing transistorized output. If your system has the negative trigger outputs you would use two relays and follow this diagram. This would change the negative outputs to positive and trip the factory relays to lock and unlock the doors. If your system has reversing outputs than you would only need to connect the output wires directly to the factory wiring.
