Default Anyone install an Alarm?

Hey, I'm looking to install an alarm, remote start, remote entry on my '01 MT Insight. Has anyone done this installation? Specifically here are my questions:

- Where did you get the wiring color codes and locations for the install? Please don't just say "look at the alarm manual" because not every alarm manual has that info.

- Besides the immobilizer bypass did you have to get anything else special for the insight (door lock relays, Window motors, etc)?

- Were the door locks negative throw or positive?

I had one put in. It only took the guy about 20 minutes, so the wiring is fairly standard. It should be the same as other Honda's. DEI has install info on their website.

I would not put a remote start into a MT Insight for two reasons:

1. I leave it in gear when parked
2. The point of the Insight is fuel economy and letting the car warm up is VERY wasteful.

One problem they had was that they couldn't find anywhere to get the wiring from the cabin through the firewall to the engine bay for the siren.

By any chance do you think you can send some pics showing where and what wires I need to tie in to? Just bought a viper 5701 and as good as I am with installing things I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to this...To many wires, lol. Thanks
