I have an aftermaket "alarm/keyless entry/remote start" unit that I bought for my last car but traded in the car before I could install the alarm. I just bought a used 03 Element and would like to install this alarm. I would prefer to use the keyless entry and security system connectors that are already available on the element. Does anyone know where I can possibly find wiring harnesses that will fit these connectors. It would be awesome to do most of the wiring in the house and then just go plug it in.

P.S. I know I will still need to install the system bypass and the remote start separately.


Please let me know if you have any idea where I can buy these components. :?:

ANYONE who has installed an aftermarket alarm:

Can you please tell me how you did it and post any problems you encountered that I might avoid?

Thanks...hope someone else has attempted this.

i have installed the after marcket alarm, i will post which wires you need to work with in few hours as i get home

thanks a lot! I can't wait to see what your experience was. I'm sure others are contemplating this same install and would like to know the simplest way to do it.

sorry bro!! few hours became few days..

here is the wires that you need to work with

these are the basic wires one needs to install an aftermarcket alarm
could you let me know what wires are coming out of your alarm module and their polarity.
and if you have the manual, can you send me the installation diagram,
so i can exactly tell you how to connect each wires.
