I used the threading method to tap. And then high quality electrical tape. As for brain location that's your call. I will not disclose where mine is hidden.

 

Definitely solder. There's nothing that screams alarm like a bunch of Ttaps. If you take the time and do it right you can make it look like stock wiring with solder/tape.

There's plenty of room in the dash to put the brain pretty much where ever you want.

 

i have a couple of questions...1) the wiring diagram for an evo is the same as a reg lancer right? 2) also im a little unsure how to install my backup battery how should i run the wiring?

 

Yes the wiring should be pretty close to the same. I imagine the backup battery depends on what type of alarm you have. Did it come with instructions?

 

yes it did and i figured it out =D....so im almost finish installing my 5701 alarm...one more thing...in harness #3 there are three wires that im confused on, the red, red/white, red/black...do all three go to the same white wire?

 

Yes. The constant 12v wire (white) in the ignition harness (or wherever you decide to get 12v constant).

 

Anyone know if this alarm will still work with a turbo timer?

 

Nice DIY!
I will check the employee price in Best Buy this week

 

it has its own TT but it should not interfere with one you have if you splice your tt wires with the factories

 

Why do you need a spare key? By the way, nice write up! This should be STICKY on the HOW TO'S

 

I know I'm bring this back from the dead but I need help.

On the part where it shows vehicle wires. Is that all on the Ing harness? If im correct then 3 of the harness wires tap/solider into the white ing wire which is a 12+ constant.

 

the best and most reliable is gonna be solder, then electrical tape, with a zip tie holding the tape.. cuz we all know how electrical tape gets over time..haha. ive been a car audion installer for years and that how i do it it prevent failures

 

if i remember correctly it has a turbo timer feature built in... most DEI alarm/starter combos do

 

Yes and yes

 

Oh yea. For the violet and green wire on the alarm side. It says. I'm suppose to tap closer to the key side and closer to the engine side for the starter wire. If I'm not mistaken. I'm suppse to cut it? Then splice/solider into it.
