Ben (Hondaboy4life) contacted me about this alarm. I was really hesitant to do it since it was'nt my usual brand. It has a few cool features that are really nice, like temperature monitoring, "call" feature, stuff like that....but the main thing he wanted was remote start on a 5 speed, and this alarm is built for it.
I did the usual install with all the add-ons, headlight flash, horn honk, tilt sensor, backup battery, fuel pump and ecu kill, etc. In the pics, the alarm brain is covered. Ben did not want it disclosed as to the brand, if you'd like to know ask him. If he wants me to list it, he will let me know and I'll add it to the write up.
To be VERY honest, I really would'nt do it again. I mean, I could and for the right price I will. The main thing I did'nt like was it was very very difficult to program certain features. The alarm is a VERY cool alarm, but if you don't have experience with the brand, then you really can't utilize ALL the features. Ben gave me the phone number of an installer who helped me out with some minor issues. If you don't have a guy like this though, it could lead to some frustration.
I would also like to thank Lynn (5thgensi) for helping me with a relay issue. I'd had a long day fighting this alarm and my brain just died. Lynn pointed out something to me that was right in front of me the whole time. Thanks man, I really appreciate it!!

More alarm and relays:
Ben's car has a leak and there was mositure under the seat. I sealed the alarm brain, relays, battery, and all parts with a glue so it is now waterproof.
There isn't many pics per Ben's request. But, you get the idea. It's the same alarm I always do, just with a new brand.
Ben's friend Will was the co-pilot during the long drives here. So, once they picked up Ben's teg, they dropped off Will's.
Will's teg is VERY VERY common of today's cars. Lots of work has been done under the dash, and it's a tad unorganized. There is nothing wrong with this as long as it's properly fused and secured. Since I was going to be doing some work in that area, I figured I might as well clean it up for him. I ALWAYS give cars back to customers in better condition than they bring them.

The alarm with ALL the parts:
Both these guys go to college and can't keep a constant eye on their cars, so they needed something that keeps them there. Both cars have the tilt sensor, headlight flash, horn honk, backup battery, ecu and fuel pump kill, power locks, hood and trunk triggers, etc. The only way they are getting moved is with the key or a tow truck.....and even then they will be notified via keypad.
Any questions feel free to ask!
