BACK TO DIY 2000 TECH SUMMARY

Introduction:
This is an autotoys.com installation. One of several
hundred by the staff of autotoys.com
This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real
cars for over 25 years.
Online for over 17+ years, when you buy a product from us,
we give you real support when you need it.
Instant access to answers through our customer forums. With thousands
of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your
installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio,
car alarms and auto accessories.
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.

We
drilled a 1/4 inch hole (see arrow towards bottom) and hid
our valet switch away. To gain access to it, pull out the
fuse panel cover to put car in valet mode!You like it? We
thought you would.
BTW:
The valet switch on this alarm plugs into the main brain
which makes things very easy.

We
finished up the siren wire with 3M caulking putty here (available
in our TOOLS department) which molds and forms itself to seal
off all holes. It will prevent the siren wire from chaffing
and also prevent water/air from entering the passenger area
from the engine compartment.
Shown
is our MAIN alarm harness attached to all the aux wires
(doorlock, led, etc) all taped up. The fuses are taped up
to prevent shorting to metal-- One wire harness, one location
all routed to the brain. If Troubleshooting is needed, we
can do all of our work easily at the brain.

The
last step was to connect the domelight wire. It is a black/white
wire located under the PASSENGER FUSE PANEL COVER in a 4 pin
plug (-) - thats it.
This
installation took us about 45 minutes to a hour. It was
simple because we didnt even have to run a trunk wire.
Hondas are very easy cars to work in.
