- This is a basic how to DIY video on installing an Avital 3100 Security system into a 1990 Nissan 240sx. I don't go over EVERYTHING in this video but I do cover most of it. I used diagrams as a guide from various sites. Always verify ALL wires with a multimeter. This is part 1 of 2 videos for this installation.
Thanks for this helpful and easy to follow tutorial! It has cleared up a few questions I had prior to buying the unit and attempting a DIY.
Glad it helped!
Glad I got a '69 to install into - much simpler!
Zip ties to hold tape! That alone is invaluable to me.
Should be pretty smooth sailing for you on a 69 then. Good luck
Kudos for having the balls and know how to tackle something like this. I will work on a lot of things but I wuss out at tint and alarm systems.
Thanks! If you feel like giving it a shot feel free to shoot some questions my way. Tint is something that I CAN do but I hate doing it so I'll usually pay to get that done. I did on this car at least.
Im going to try and install this exact unit on Sunday. hopefully i can get it to work
I found your video very knowledgeable ,
If it's the only wire in that 3 pin plug, it would be your horn wire. It's a negative output to your horn when the alarm is triggered. The installation will be similar but wiring will be completely different as it's a different make and model. It is also a very simple car though so it shouldn't be too difficult.
Yeah, you don't NEED to install it, but if the car is getting broken into and the siren wires are cut, the horn would still be going off if you hooked up the horn wire. If not then it'd be silent once they cut the siren wires. The other wires I cut/didn't use were for various things such as aux outputs for trunks, different types of door triggers, hood etc.
The other wires I cut/didn't use were for various things such as aux outputs for trunks, different types of door triggers, hood etc. It depends on the car which wires you'll end up using. Different cars have different options, types of door triggers and things of that nature.
Quick question is it possible for the alarm not to power on if the ground isn’t grounded right ?
It's possible but more often I found that the alarm will do some other weird things with a poor ground vs just not working.
do you know how to activate chirp sound as in when lock or unlock and turn on sire.My lights flash when i unlock or lock but it doesnt make the chirp sound.
I use heat shrink for other things. It definitely looks nice. With a remote start heat shrinking my connections wouldn't be practical since I'd have to cut each wire that I tapped into in order to slide the heat shrink on.
Hi DIY,
Thank you for all the good info but I am having another issue, I installed the alarm about 6 months ago and has been working great but now my car will not turn over and wanted to know how to reset the alarm or can I just disconnect the starter kill wires and will my alarm still work properly with out it hooked up?
This did start when my battery died...............
Ken Core Yes, you should be able to just disconnect the cut starter kill wires and put them back together. It should start if that is what the issue is. Does the remote no longer work? Usually if the car won't start after the battery dies then the alarm would also be going off.
I noticed it didn't come with the horn/siren so I guess u had to get it seperate and the area you placed the brain box is it sensitive enough when u hit the doors for it to go off
It is sensitive enough. I tested it out.
Excellent video
With most cars there will be some wires that you don't end up using. Once you're doing the install if you have any particular questions, I'd be happy to try and help answer them.
Where did the yellow wire go to?? I didn’t hook it up . What does it do??
I have a 1973 Datsun 240z the wires you cut do I need them for my application to this car ? I have the alarm hooked up and it doesn't click when armed instead I hear it through one of my factory relays .I up graded to the single prong door triggers instead of the originals and I cant get them to function with the single wire violet or green ,
What part do you want clicking exactly? The door triggers wires the green/violet are to trigger the alarm when it's armed in case of a door opening up and whatnot, are you just having issues with getting it to lock or? Happy to help just need some clarification on what you're having issues with.
There will be some similarities. Make sure to test with a multimeter before connecting anything of course. There are sites out there with references for wiring. the12volt is a good site with free info. But make sure to use it as a guide and test your wires.
You don't need to disconnect the battery first?
MrVinamp Not in this case since I had to test the wires before hooking them up. Many of the same color wires in the car can cause some confusion and even some damage if wires aren't tested/verified before connecting.
+Ushan Sivanathan For some reason I can't reply to you directly. The Viper 3305v is not a remote start system. Or do you already have a remote start system in the car?
So I just installed my auto page 350 into my Acura integra. The problem I'm having is my siren won't go off with my horn and my parking lights don't flash when I unlock and lock or when the the alarm goes off. The only way I can get the siren to work is by turning on my lights leaving them on, getting out of the car and Arming the car. Then the siren will go off with the horn but the lights won't flash at all no matter what.
on the harness there is 5 wires I listed them to how I got them from the Manual. The red/white came tapped into the fused red wire so technically there is only 4 wires.
1. Red/white wire: parking light relay
input
2. Fused red wire: 12v constant
3. White wire: parking light relay
output
4. Brown wire: siren
5. Black wire: ground
So on my first attempt 1 and 2 went to 12v. 3 went to my parking lights. 4 went siren. 5 to ground. When I did this i tested the alarm it locked and unlocked but when armed my siren would beep and parking lights flashed with the led inside the car flashing too. The shock sensor wasn't working either. The siren beep of parking lights would shut off until I unlocked the car. So I was stumbled and rewired it I put 1,2,3 all into my parking light wire from my car and my alarm worked fine so I left as that. So as of right now my parking lights don't flash and the siren doesn't go off with the horn. as I stated up top that's my current problem. Thanks
When you installed the alarm horn you ran the (positive) wire to the brown (+) brake shutdown and the negative to the body right? and did you put a fuse in between the brown wire and the alarm positive wire? and if you did what amp fuse did you use?
No, I ran the positive from the siren to the brown siren wire off of the alarm. The negative went to chassis ground inside the car. No fuse for it since the main unit itself has a fuse on the main power wires. If you're using a 4103, it won't even come with a siren since it's not an alarm though. But if you wanted to connect a siren you could use the brown horn wire to the sirens positive and you'd get a chirp when locking it if you programmed the horn honk on.
I have the viper and it seems to be the same color wise I just want to make sure the wires are for the same use before I cut them short
Where does the yellow wire go? And does it has to use a relay to remote start
The yellow was not used. It would be used if I was also adding a remote start to it as a separate unit. (not an ideal way to do it, if you want alarm and remote start then get a unit with it all built into it)
The wire from where the signal is sent from the key remote came out. It is red on the interior and black on the exterior. It was connected to the clear box behind the break pedal. I was wondering where it connects to.
I honestly have never had that happen so I'm not sure what to tell you. I have an extra Avital sitting around so if I get a chance I can take a look.
Im curious if the s13 and s14 have the same wiring ?
I ordered a viper alarm/remote start
Just curious before I go to tackle it.
Thanks!
I currently have a clifford prime level four that had installed back in 01 the fob got ruind. And getting charged 150 @!the shop with me providing the system that's why am wanna do it my self . And some new I can learn I will attemp my install this weekend hope all goes well
Thanks. What are the wires you cut (& didn't use) for?
I thought i saw your whole video, so the wire is just to get the car's horn going when the alarm is triggered. Any suggestions on how to install? But, I can also just not install it right?
what are the wires that you said you won't need to use?
Thank for the replied. It was correct
That is good. I'm glad that it worked out.
What are the wires u cut. What are use for and would I need them on a 01 chevy malibu
Hi, first, is this installation the same for a 91 Acura Integra? Second, what is the brown/black wire for? It comes on a 3 pin harness that plugs in between the primary harness (H1) and the door lock harness (H2)? The installation manual I found does not show it. Thanks for the video. Clean work too.
Hi. I've watched this video over and over. The step that I need help on which you didn't show in detail on the video is the lock wiring and the trigger wiring. Please help.....
What part of the locks are you having issues with? I showed it all in the video.
Honestly, that's not THAT bad of a price for them to do that if there's already one in there. Who knows how good or bad of a job the previous person did. Sometimes it takes longer to pull out/figure out what the last person was doing than it does to re-install a new one!
DIYAutoCarage I have a problem with mine I took it to a shop to do the install and now my red bulb doesn't blink it just stays on any idea what might that be
Which wire is for the dome light \ interior lights I lost my instructions for the alarm I have everything else hooked up in my miata but I can't even remember now if there is one for the interoir lights if there is does it come on and stay on for 30 secs or does it just flash like the parking lights ? Your video was alot of help
Rory Finazzo I don't believe that the Avital unit has the dome light output. I rarely ever hook that up unless a customer specifically asked for it back when I did this for a living.
is this the same as g4matic alarm system?? I have a g4matic which was quite cheaply priced
I've honestly never even heard of that company. I just looked it up and it looks like a cheap unit. I wouldn't personally buy it. The wire connections will be the same for the car, but the wiring will likely be completely different on the alarms.
Why don't you use heatshrink tubing? Wires looks alot cleaner.
I kno it’s been yrs since u did this install, but did u happen to install a relay for the starter interrupt?
I don't even remember at this point. If I did, it would be in the video. I don't believe that I did though.
Great vídeo DIYAutoCarage A+++ I have a question on the 2 black wires (starter interrupt input/output) where should I connect those? Are they wire on the cable that you cut in the video? Please help
It's been a while since I made this video but the only wire that I would have cut for this would have been the starter wire so yes, that should be right.
The install was easy and successful the las person that installed the old one used a lot of tape so it wasn't fun messing with all that nasty tape
what is the actual model - is it Avital 3100L or 3100XL ?
It's an Avital 3100L. As far as wiring and such goes, most of the Directed Electronics units will have almost identical wiring colors. A few vary though.
No se necesita un relay para conectar los cables del starter?
Solo si se va usar el "starter kill". Pero, en este carro no lo use.
DIYAutoCarage muchas gracias por responder...entonces si no quiero el starter kill igual solo corto el cable y conecto los cables negros del modulo uno a cada lado?
Perdon. Estuve pensando de otro modelo. En este modelo, no se necesita relay para el starter kill. Ya tiene el relay interno.
DIYAutoCarage nuevamente muchas gracias .
Tengo otra duda amigo...el cable amarillo que dice que va a ignicion no se conecta? o donde se conecta?
Thank you for the video!
Can you explain the purpose of the wires that are not going to be used for in this installation please?
Also, my brother had his alarm installed a few days ago and I noticed that the head lights and tail lights on his car do not flash when the alarm is armed using the fob.
In this installation what is the wire that serves that purpose, "flashing of the headlights and tail lights" when the alarm is armed using the fob?
Can I use this video to remove it too
Yeah, just do the opposite basically.
So I really don't need the does four wires
I do not have the 3100L model I have the 4103 model
4103 is just a remote start/security. That's a bit different as far as wiring it. Mostly the same but some stuff is different for the remote start aspect of it.
Thanks you been so helpful when you get another chance make another video :(
