alarms arent hard to install. problem is no warranty. i could do it myself but to be honest...the alarm is the only thing i ever got professionaly installed.

its a MagiCar alarm that i got from ebay rolleyes.gif

it has the power dook lock feature and i was just going to hook that up to the popper because it has its own button to unlock the doors. or i would use the panic button to pop the door. Do you think it will be enough power to pop the door?

the power door lock will be fine. you could hook it up to a differnt function. since you have the relays with the kit you'll be okay.

Unfortunately,I have more experience with industrial alarms then car alarms.From what I understand,though,if you don't connect/install things quite right you'll have problems.False alarms,etc.
