Python Car Alarm Install - Model 902 (pics)
 
** I am not claiming this is a DIY article. Just a play by play that is fairly thorough**

Purpose: As I start cleaning this car up and adding mods, I wanted to make sure the car was secured with a decent 2 way alarm.


Total Cost:
Alarm + Install @ Selective Sound in Mississauga.

PYTHON 902 2 WAY ALARM SYSTEM $299.99 INSTALLED as per his GTcars.ca post.

Time: Total time (I only snapped pics) was 2.5 hours for 2 professional installers.

Difficulty: There is no doubt that this is for an experienced DIY. The tricks that the staff at Selective Sound used to get it done was awesome. My follow along, pics and notes does not do them justice. These guys were quick and very professional.

Play by play

First off, I was very fortunate that Davis & Max allowed for me to capture the images of their work. They have a nice customer waiting area but they knew I wanted to document this for other teg owners.

Things to note. The alarm brain is not shown in these pics as to where it was placed.

2 installers worked on the car. I did not do the work.

This is not an easy DIY project, so I suggest you contract Davis @ Selective Sound. This is for those who want to take a stab at it.

Thanks for the buisness, I'm glad you like our service.


I also really like the write up on the python install, really cool idea and I'm glad you let us demo our work on your vehicle.

Thanks
Davis
