#358349 Let me start out by saying I've had your site on my bookmark for years and love your articles about stealth installs on an EG and EK

They might be a little dated and that's the reason for a few of my follow up questions I've come up with.

The car I'm installing alarm in is a 1999 civic LX (factory power door locks), Manual transmission (no remote start needed)

What I've bought so far:
    viper 3203 kit
    Backup Battery System 520t
    Mini Piezo 513T

With this kit would you still be recommending:?
    Glass Breakage DEI 506T
    Tilt DEI 507M
Anything else you might recommend?

And do you have a part # for the "interconnect harness" that you mentioned you got from crutchfield? I searched, and couldn't find this for sale anywhere.

#358352 Hi 5onthefloor, I'm just a member on this forum.
The write-up isn't terribly dated... not much has changed except the alarm model, but you're using an old one anyway. That style of remote sucks. It goes off easy in your pocket. The newer models have some better remotes. The two-way remotes are too cumbersome. No one likes carrying them around. This is the system I recommend http://www.amazon.com/Viper-Security-Sy ... iper+alarm
The funny thing is that they send you a different model each time. As long as it's that kite-shaped remote, it doesn't matter. It's nice when the LED and valet button are incorporated into the antenna. Door locks and dome light shouldn't require separate relays like they did on the old base models.
Those are the correct sensors and they never change. Those were already old part numbers way back when I got started.
Nobody makes the interconnect harnesses any more that I know of. I prefer to de-pin the wire I'm tapping into, tap it directly at the pin, and re-pin it. Doesn't cost anything and it's pretty stealthy. I know I show it on several of the installs.

The site needs to be revamped. It's laid out like the application matters most but they're most useful as case studies.
