Python Car Alarm Install - Model 902 (pics)
** I am not claiming this is a DIY article. Just a play by play that is fairly thorough**
Purpose: As I start cleaning this car up and adding mods, I wanted to make sure the car was secured with a decent 2 way alarm.
Total Cost:
Alarm + Install @ Selective Sound in Mississauga.
PYTHON 902 2 WAY ALARM SYSTEM $299.99 INSTALLED as per his GTcars.ca post.
Time: Total time (I only snapped pics) was 2.5 hours for 2 professional installers.
Difficulty: There is no doubt that this is for an experienced DIY. The tricks that the staff at Selective Sound used to get it done was awesome. My follow along, pics and notes does not do them justice. These guys were quick and very professional.
Play by play
First off, I was very fortunate that Davis & Max allowed for me to capture the images of their work. They have a nice customer waiting area but they knew I wanted to document this for other teg owners.
Things to note. The alarm brain is not shown in these pics as to where it was placed.
2 installers worked on the car. I did not do the work.
This is not an easy DIY project, so I suggest you contract Davis @ Selective Sound. This is for those who want to take a stab at it.
What comes with the Python.
The key fobs.
The brain all wired up and ready for the install.
Tape on the fuses so they don't vibrate out.
Removing lower dash peices, Phillips screwdriver will do
Removing lower dash brace, 10mm ratchet.
Lower dash brace.
Drilling for hood pin.
The hole for the hood pin.
Installing the hood pin.
These next 3 photos show the fuse box area before the install.
Removing a nut and bolt to mount the alarm horn.
Stripping wires. Take your time as to not cut right through.
Passing a coat hanger through the firewall into the cabin. This includes the horn wires and the pin wires.
Soldering ignition wires.
Smiling at his nice job. lol
Taping it all back up.
hood pin and horn all installed.
Pulling the kick panel off to access the door and trunk wires.
More wiring for the doors and trunk.
Remote receiver installed just behind the rear view mirror.
Wire tuck behind the trim.
The next two pictures show the a Pillar being opened to hide the receiver wire and the installation of the led.
Wires being zip tied under the A Pillar.
Wiring diagram. This is straight out of the manual.
Wiring diagram simplified (what the installer used)
Door and trunk wires again. Remote lock on hatch was discovered to be dead.
Tester trick with a knife
Using the above diagram, tap into the wires, solder, close up.
There next two pics show him taping it all back up.
The L.E.D. install.
Glued in.
Fast curing glue and activator.
Here are three pics of everything all taped up and getting ready to put everything back together. Super clean install!!
Warning L.E.D. all installed
All done, sorry no pics of where the brain ended up. The thieves will have to figure that one out for themselves. lol
Blinking lights don't show up well in pictures. lol
