Hi, there is splicing into wires with this kit, it is not a plug and play system.

Yes, it is plug and play into factory unit in back. Remove white connector and it will piggyback onto isimple connector

I know I was able to. I have an LX with no additional alarm system. You pry off the panel to the left of the steering Wheel and unhook the connectors. There's a connector that's small and black and one that's big and white. With the door shut and locked, take an unfolded paper clip and stick one end in port 2 and one in port 10 (the second one in from the top and the last one on the bottom with the clip piece facing upward). If you're not sure just try and if you don't hear the car lock sound flip it over and try again. After you hear the click, press and hold your new (and old) key fob then test them. When you program the new one you have to reassociate the old one or it won't work anymore. It took me days of searching to find this info.

Mike is right needs programming by the dealer, i didn't use it in my Chevy Colorado with a Viper basic alarm,instead i pulled a new wire from the starter to the alarm and installed a relay for the ignition kill and it works fine.

as far as instructions on which wire goes where, then the answer is going to be no. because each and every vehicle has different wiring colors, then the instructions would be as thick as a phone book. If you have access to wiring diagrams for your specific vehicle, then you should have no problem trying to figure out which wire goes where.if you need help in installing this alarm system, then I strongly suggest that you visit this website called the12 volt.com . There are many professional installers that will go above and beyond to help you install your alarm. I hope that helps

You need an adapter wire. Each car has a different one. That way you just plug one end into the wire from your dash and the other end into the stereo. Works great, no cutting of wires needed. Search for Metra radio harness.

Doug - it's as simple as plug and play. I mounted the device under the dash and ran the antenna to the out side on top of the cab. Tucked the wire in the weather strip and came in throught the door and dash area. This is my second unit to purchase and will highly recommend it. Thinking about buying a third one for my boat. Good luckKeith H.

I don't know about the other cars but I'm assuming it should work on any. Your installer can always rig it with a spare key for the remote start feature. Anyways, it works on my 2006 Honda Ridgeline.

On my I have it hooked up to the car alarm system and the orange wire is connected to the trigger out on the alarm. Hope that helps you out.

If you buy it with harness it should be plug and play. It was in my 2006, you will just have to remove old unit and hope they didn't butcher anything up under dash.

Just bought one for my pioneer, basic install make sure its connected to the wires coming out of the unit not the wires in the vehicle, the ground wire (black) should be grounded to the vehicle as well as the bypass. This worked where a standard relay would not, it double pulses or however it works

As far as wiring goes yes. Depending on your vehicle if you don't want to cut the factory wiring you will need a radio install connected kit, and depending on your dash you may need a radio dash install kit ( for instance if you current radio is shaped differently or is larger than the standard industry units).

you should need to buy a radio wiring harness adapter; or you can cut and splice your wires together with the radios. I would buy the wiring harness adapter the company I used was Metra I attached a link to their site you can buy the product on amazon..http://www.metraonline.com/vfg

I am not sure what model of First Alert my old one were and I have since recycled them. My old and new models have the identical quick connect plug. I did not have to do anything but replace the base mounting ring and plug in the new unit.

You will need some red wire and some black wire. You Wii take the red wire and attach it to the positive (+) side of the alarm and attach it to the hot lead that goes into the backup light. The black lead will be attached to the negative side of the alarm (-) and attach it to the frame of the vehicle or any spot the is a ground. Attaching the red wire going from the positive side(+) of the alarm to the positive wire going into the backup light makes sure that the alarm only sounds when your vehicle is placed in reverse.I hope this helps you when you are install your alarm Have a nice day.

Yea you need a converter from the cars wiring box to the radio you are going to install. Otherwise, you'll have to cut all wires and then connect directly to new radio wires.
