i dont know anything about car alarms and the wiring diagrams for them but i plan on gettin an aftermarket soon. my ? is instead of having the LED light from an aftermarket alarm is it possible to use the scion security knock out (status monitor) to make it seem i have the factory alarm? will an aftermarket alarm harnesses connect to it?

heres the manual for scion security alarm. here you can see how the connector looks but of course i dont know if it will work with aftermarket so any people who do/know car alarms PLEASE help me out. its just an idea i have that i may try but would like to know if it can be done. THANKS

in my case i used the same led that say security
with my code alarm system no problem with it.
it looks like factory

 

nice did you have it done at a shop?? anybody else know if it can be done with a clifford or viper or any DEI alarms??

 

was done in a shop for two reasons
1-warranty
2-price
and they also had expirience with the scion security\
and yes you could isntal whatever sistem you like

 

The Scion Security dash mount indicator has four leads on the back (that's if I remember correctly) two have got to be for the LED and the other two have to be for the microphone. The Scion system LED stays on for 30 seconds and then begins flashing after being armed. I don't know if that circuitry is in the housing or remotely located.

 

prboyxb can you explain how they made it work is it just plug n play with any alarm or it needs to have modifications for it to work??
