I haven't installed an alarm in years. If you're just looking to make the alarm work and keep the wiring to a minium you could probably just not wire up the door locks and some of the other stuff that's not needed. That should leave you with only 2-3 wires to connect to the van, theoretically...That is if you're just looking to use whatever sensors came with the alarm you bought.Has anyone installed their own aftermarket car alarm? They tried to cut off my cat converter, but unsuccessful. Now I am paranoid to park anywhere. I bought Avital 3000xl car alarm and want to do a self install as I'm unemployed and very low on fund. Thus I can't afford my cat converter to be sawed off. Wondering if anyone has done the install themselves and regret doing so? I have 2018 SV model, auto lock. I have the alarm and van harness info, but once I opened the lower panel of the van to expose the van's wiring harness, it became real as to how complicated the wiring would be.
I'm looking to install an alarm that has a vibration and tilt sensor. Please provide guidance if you have done this yourself.
