Hey, I want to add an alarm to my 02 Si keyless entry... I was reading at the12volt.com that it should just mean splicing or tapping into a couple wires.

" Keyless Entry Upgrade to an Alarm
Upgrading a factory Remote Keyless Entry to an alarm system
Upgrading the factory RKE (remote keyless entry) to an alarm system usually consist of 3 more connections, 4 if you plan to inhibit the trunk/hatch pin when opened by remote, than a basic alarm without keyless entry. Some vehicles may require additional connections and parts. If the driver's door unlocks on the first press of unlock on the transmitter, and the others unlock on the second press; "
I saw a clifford alarm system, or viper? but I'm sure where to start. any help would be appreciated. Can I follow 2001+ civic guides as to what the wire color codes are? And what part does the stock radio play in the system? Like the light dimming and lights flashing, I'd hate to lose that feature with my new alarm or removing the stock head unit.
edit: I found a DEI Hornet 700T which says it can plug into your existing keyless entry system... true? false?
here's a link to some brochure, I couldn't find the directed electronics website with any further specifications, but this link has a pdf file of the manual for download. which I'm going to read now. Do you think something like this would work and keep all the regular honda dimming lights stuff etc? Thanks, Bill
