My best advice to you if you cannot get the documentation for the alarm or the installation would be to carefully dissect the entire alarm out of the car. The alarms that you can install today are far superior to anything you probably have in the car. It will probably cost more to troubleshoot and understand your alarm then to remove it and install a new one. After a couple of years you generally cannot get support for old alarms and if they didn't document the install you don't know where to start. Unless you are going to use it as a daily driver or you live in a large city you don't even need it anyway. A good battery master switch will keep it from getting robbed and the car cannot be "slim jimmed" open like a conventional car. The alarm was not a factory install but the selling dealer may have done it. David Teitelbaum vin 10757 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, selash@xxxx wrote: > Hello, > > I am new to the list.
