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 18 years.
Online for over 10 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.
This article highlights an AUTOTOYS.COM installation of an Hornet 732 alarm system in a year 2000 Acura TL 4 door vehicle.

2000 TL These are the harnesses on the PASSENGER side fuse panel. The orange wire is the UNLOCK, the BLACK with blue is the LOCK wire. Both of these wires will ARM and DISARM the factory alarm when it receives a (-) pulse and also unlock and lock the door. The BLACK/WHITE wire underneath is the sense wire for the doors. No need for domelight supervision, when you unlock the doors, the factory alarm will do it automatically. PHOTO EXPLAINS IT ALL! |

Where to run the siren wire into the car, we used a factory grommet. Picture shown below could not show the actual grommet, but in our car, there was only one.

Since
our alarm had a negative output 2nd channel, we need to wire
in a relay to pop the trunk which used a (+) input. Notice
the purple wires, we jumped it from terminal 30 and 86 to
a fused 12 volt source, the red white wire is our NEGATIVE
input aux 2 from our alarm, the black white wire is our +
output to our trunk pop wire. Some alarms we sell have internal
relays built in for trunk pop/aux 2. The relays, connectors
and wires used in this accessory is available in our TOOLS
department or search under RELAY.
