A couple months ago, I installed an alarm/remote start, locks and trunk on my 1999 3.8 police package.

It took me about 20 hours to do it, not including reading instructions, mapping out the wiring, etc.

If you go with just the remote starter, it's not that big of a deal.

Here goes:

1. Disable the airbags. If you have even the slightest doubt about being able to do this properly, have a tech do it for you.

2. Remove the front seats.

3. Remove the lowermost dash panels(ones directly above your feet).

4. In the proximity of, or on your actual ignition harness, locate:

-A constant power wire. This wire should be RED and should read 12V at all times.

-The ignition wire. This wire should be pink PINK and should read 12V with the ignition in the "on" and "crank" positions.

-The accessory wire. This wire should be ORANGE and should read 12V in the "on" position and have no power in the "crank" position.

-The starter wire. This wire should be YELLOW and should have 12V in the "crank" position only.

5. Locate your tach wire or, since this is a huge pain in the ass, pick any fuel injector and figure out which wire is + and which one is -. I connected my tach input wire to the negative wire on one of my injectors. Some remote starters may be different and not allow this, so check your installation manual.

6. You will also probably need to find the brake light wire. It's one of the two connected to the brake switch behind the pedal that puts out 12V only when the brake is pressed.

5. Connect the wiring as specified by your installation manual. You will need to either drill a hole in your firewall or run the tach input and hood pin switch wires through the inside of your front fender.

That's pretty much all there is to it.
