Default Viper Alarm Install

I was hoping someone could point me towards a DIY or provide some help on the 350Z alarm install. I've found the wiring guides for the alarm, but can't find a good one on the 350Z.

Also, what does everyone think I should do on the alarm install?

IMO - I want to do the install for the lock and unlock function, the trunk release, and the shock sensor because I am a little intimidated by all the wiring for the "different zones" of the alarm

thoughts?

Do not attempt an alarm install on your. ^^Like said go to an authorized dealer with a good track record in the community. A Bad install can reek havoc on your electrical system and turn into a nightmare. Installing car audio and alarms is a totally different ball game

bestbuy does alarm installs. I took my friend to get a viper alarm put on his car, they knocked it out in a couple of hours, and it was flawless.

depending on what year Z u have it can be a bit of a chore, if u have an 03/04 you end up running out into the drivers door to do ur locks. at the same time u can piggyback that wiring to control your windows though if you have the right expandability on your alarm system. my advice would be take it to a pro unless you have done other cars before. and yes best buy is hit and miss depending upon what installer you get. there is a huge varience in experience and quality at big box shops.

Took like 8 hours to install this alarm system in a G37. It's a lot more than just plugging it in.

I already sold it but the person on ebay hasn't paid yet, so I might be able to help at the end of the week. I will let you know.
