Installing a car alarm...

Well... here's the deal. I purchased an Autopage 750LCD off of Ebay and it came in the mail a couple days ago. I called around to all the shops in town and they either told me that they didn't specialize in alarm installation or that they only installed alarms sold at their shop... so it looks like I'm going to have to go Macgyver my way through this. I plan on doing it tomorrow because I'll have about a good 10 hours I can work on it (If I run into problems... hopefully it will be ALOT shorter time than that) Anyways, does anyone have any tips or suggestions on just what to do and what I'm getting myself into?

Thanks,

Scott

Hope you have good wiring diagrams.

Keep it KISS. Don't bother with autostart, autolamp, window control or light control. More stuff to go wrong.

Expect at least 5+ hours of wiring work. Tie into the parklamps and domelights behind the headlight switch.
The ignition wire is accessed right under the steering colomn. I loosened the bottom of the dash under the steering colomn and bent the assy down.
The doorlock wires are under the dash, driver side up by the firewall.

Get a crimptool, electrical tape, zipties and a good flashlight.
