How to mount a car alarm yourself? Self-installation

Car alarms are one of the most effective anti-theft systems of a car. The modern device can provide maximum protection to the vehicle against theft. However, in order for the expectations to be justified, first you need to choose a good alarm system. But to buy a device - it's still half the battle. The alarm must still be installed. How to do it right, let's consider.

Car alarm installation with own hands - preparation of tools

First you need to prepare all the necessary instruments and tools. In our case, to install the auto- start auto- start with your own hands was successful, you will need a multimeter (a device that measures the voltage level in the electrical circuit and its resistance), pliers, scissors, a pair of cross and minus screwdrivers, and a few meters of wires.

Getting Started

Having prepared all the tools, you can safely get down to work. But before you take on the car alarm device, the installation with your own hands begins with the complete de-energizing of the electrical circuit. To do this, remove the negative terminal from the battery. Next, you need to decide where the car alarm will be located. This device can be placed absolutely in any part of the car, but it is important to observe that this place is not exposed to frequent effects of dust and moisture. It is advisable to install it not in hard-to-reach places. Also worth thinking about is where to place the car alarm sensors. Installation by one's own hands should be carried out in those places where there are no radio recorders and other devices that create radio frequency interference. Do not forget about the sensitivity controls. On some models of the device, they may not be adjusted, so after completing the work, check the sensors for sensitivity to shocks.

Further, according to the electrical scheme and the car alarm device, the installation with their own hands is accompanied by the connection of wires. We can not give a specific scheme, since each device has its own connection points. When installing the wiring for the light indication, select which part of the optics you want to use - the marker lights or the dipped beam headlamps. Carefully follow the polarities when connecting the alarm. As for the wires, they are connected by soldering or twisting to the standard terminals. Do not forget about isolation. This will prevent you from suddenly closing the vehicle's electrical circuit.

At the last stage, a siren is installed. Mount it in such a way that it does not get moisture. It is installed under the hood, and where exactly - you can choose yourself. By the way, the direction of the siren can also be customized. Now it remains to connect the battery terminal back and check the operation of the car alarm. Self-installation at this stage is complete.
