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.
CAN YOU INSTALL AN CAR ALARM SYSTEM?
You are probably wondering if you can install an alarm by yourself. If you installed a radio into a car or done any other mechanical work to your car, you are probably able to install a full featured alarm system. All of the alarms we carry are fairly simple to install because of advancements. Some of our security systems
carry's dual stage ONBOARD shock sensors that are state of the art and almost off of our alarms have plug in valet switches, plug in LEDs and plug in doorlock plugs.
Installing the alarm will take the following steps and we'll guide you with wire colors and locations custom tailored for your car! We'll even tell you how to take the dash apart if you have a common vehicle.
- 1. Install LED - Drill 5/16th hole and put led in, run wire down to module, plug it in module
- 2. Install Siren in engine compartment. We give you self tapping screws FREE
- 3. Mount the valet switch somewhere and plug it into module
- 4. Find parking light wire (if you want the alarm to flash), tap it to the alarm
- 5. Find 12v wire, tap that
- 6. Find IGNITION wire (we give you wire colors and location), tap that
- 7. Find a good factory ground or drill a new one with our supplied ring terminal and self tapping screw.
- 8. Find door trigger wire, (we'll tell you where), tap that and you are done
Your car is now protected by a HARDWIRED security system.
