You must also follow several rules:

1. Read the instructions. The first step is to study the alarm installation manual in detail and act in full accordance with the instructions.
2. Safety precautions. Disconnect power from the battery (and do not connect it until complete installation), and also be careful, because this is working with electricity.
3. Placement of alarm elements. It is prohibited to install elements of the security system near the pedals and steering controls.

If such work is being performed for the first time and the motorist has little knowledge of electrical components, then the connection should be made under the full control of an auto electrician. The alarm connection points are indicated in the diagram included in the instruction manual. During work, these instructions should be strictly followed.

Some alarm owners are wondering how to enable auto start? Let's look at the example of the Centurion Tango v2 security system; the activation principle is almost identical to other models. To remotely start, you must press the button with the image * twice within 3 seconds. The system will start the engine, turn on the lights, and the key fob will give a signal.

You can read about the purpose of the control panel buttons in the instructions, which describe each action in detail. Also, each security system has a service button (Valet), which turns off all security functions. It is secret and installed in an inconspicuous place.
