CONTROL MODULE MOUNTING
DO NOT Mount the control unit in the engine compartment!
DO NOT Mount the control unit or wiring harness where they can become entangled with moving parts
such as brake/gas/clutch pedals, or the steering column!
The alarm control module should be mounted in a concealed location. The Placement of the module will
affect the distance from which the remote transmitter can control the unit. The antenna wire should be routed
away from any metal if possible. Do not alter the length of the antenna wire or route it with other wires. Do
not ground the antenna wire. Fasten the module to a bracket or wire harness using the cable ties provided.

Underdash Mounting: If you are locating the control unit underdash, mount it as high as possible, not easily
located by an intruder.
located by an intruder.
Driver’s Side Underdash mounting provides an easy location for wiring most of the system’s connections,
however this is a common location for an intruder to check for an alarm after breaking into the vehicle. The
left side of the vehicle may contain more metal and or wiring that will create interference and decrease the
operating range of the system.

Passenger Side underdash is a good location, however some extra wiring may be needed to extend wires
across from the driver’s side.
Under-seat / Center Console mounting is also a possibility, but NOT RECOMMENDED. The system’s
transmitter range will be reduced by the metal structures of the seat or center console and the unit may also
be exposed to moisture from spilled drinks etc. Moisture or water damage is not covered under the warranty
and will be subject to repair charges. Under seat or console mounting will create more difficulty if you need to
access the unit for service or want to add-on features or connections later. Use this location as a last resort.
