Yea, just thought of the next mod, after headers and sway bars.....

Ive got the headers and sways waiting for me when I get home from offshore, and think I'm gonna do the alarm at the same time now. Gonna get the ir sensor for the vert and voice warning module....oh yea baby....

Scott.
It's nothing more than a momentary switch and a relay. I added a safety switch to arm it, but otherwise, it's pretty straightforward.

You have to install a resistor to match your key's pellet resistor's resistence first, and wire in the switch, or it will not work. A 10K ohm pot works very well. The two wires where the resistor is installed across are white with a black stripe and purple with a white stripe. These go to a plug found in the rear of the existing ignition cylinder. The wires go directly to the BCM located in the vehicle's passenger foot well. You will be bypassing your VATS in short.
