■ Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.
■ Never put the control module in the engine compartment!
■ The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side underdash panel to access the starter and
ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be disconnected.
■ When locating the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the har-
nesses’ wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and
any obvious leaks.
■ Some good control module locations: Inside the center console or above the underdash fuse box.
Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well
hidden. It should also be placed so that passengers or items being stored do not bump it, avoiding places such
as the glove box and center console. The switch fits into a
