Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors, radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront). Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront). Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer products.

Sales People (be careful!)::
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords, questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple.. the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person) with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.

No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever! They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake! Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with the newest products.

Original article in 1998

We did this car when there was NO tech data bases available, limited info and when REAL INSTALLERS figured our everything by themselves.

LEXUS security system installation performed on an AUTOTOYS.COM STAFF MEMBER vehicle. This security installation is very complex and should be left only to professionals or advanced installers. Highlights the new 1998 LEXUS GS400 with all options.

Shown to the left is the fully prewired security module. We used a 732 DEI module, Hornet in this vehicle. 3 channels and on board shock sensor. You will notice that we have all wires going to ONE location in set lengths including the doorlock, led and valet switch wires on the right of the module.
We also loomed the entire harness (shown in arrows) and then used 3M tape to surround the loom.

This is where we tapped the ignition wires for the alarm and the power. The starter kill connection was also made here.

We had to run wires into the driver´s door because of the multiplex module (which contains the security system, doorlock and power window wires)

This car has all wires ran through grommets and then again what wires do not run through grommets come through heavy plastic sheets which are taped down with heavy tape. The red wires above show the 4 wires (which we taped up) and run in a factory opening from inside the vehicle to the inside of the driver´s door. We also attached wire ties to the new wire harness.

We used t-taps to tap the doorlock harness coming out of the driver´s doorlock switch. The wires are (-) for unlock and lock
