Alarm System & Power Locks

Pyle PWD701 Alarm System & Wiring Diagram

With security on the rise after installing the hood locks, it was time to take it to the next level. An alarm system would help to deter thieves from entering the passenger compartment and trunk. The weak point of any alarm is its power supply or siren; with hood locks engaged, it would require significant effort to reach the battery or snip the wires.

The alarm install consisted of two parts: a manual to power lock upgrade and the actual alarm module wiring. Sodial “heavy duty” power door lock actuator kits were installed in the doors and a Pyle PWD701 Alarm System under the dash.

The trick to installing the actuators is to ensure the full up/down motion is unobstructed. You need a fairly straight shot from the actuator to the door lock rod.

Keep It Clean Stainless Loom

We installed a pair of Keep It Clean Stainless Steel Billet Door Looms. They shield the wires from the door jamb and add a modern industrial look at a decent price point.

Overall, the parts used for the upgrade are fantastic and the install went smoothly. The keyless entry feature is worth it whether you enable the alarm or not.
