Unwiring Uniden alarm from loom.

[94 Leone]

O.K.

I bought a loom for my car from Gazzy2000, and It has an alarm hooked up to it,

It's a uniden vs1600XR, was wanting some advice on how to (properly) remove, other than cut off the wires and be done with it(I'm not too keen on meataxe) I'll get some pics of it, and other points of concern among it.

Feel free to offer opinion.

Cut if off tape the bare ends. Not worth the hassles. unidens are ugly alarms to disassemble.

Cheers...

Though I'd rather not, just have bare wires etc, It's annoying as it bleeds into plugs and stuff everywhere, and I'm not really sure on which cables the little plug things go to(Wires change colour) I'll take some pics. But, cutting it may be a last resort thing.

Rejoin the immobilizer points, usually at the ignition/starter feeds. Although Uniden tend to use nasty relays for their immobilizers - almost not worth having them at all! One can bypass with their eyes closed. Meridian alarms come second worst, I think.

Best to rid all the wires so you can integrate a better alarm (Dynatron, AVS, Autowatch, Cobra) into the harness.

That was the plan, was just wondering if there were any special tricks to it... Other than cut out uniden components, and re-solder old wires to connect to each other. And then hope the wires aren't too tangled to get back together...

Edit:what's worse is that it has a whole bunch of cables that don't look right running everywhere,

Anyone know AVS-5 or AVS-2 cables? they seem to be running for where the impact sensor or siren thing goes in the engine bay, they are wired in an attempt to be neat, but in doing so, have just made my job of uninstallation more annoying.

Extra edit: it's just automotive wiring different thickness etc, so different resistance...

Well, atleast by the end of this I'll know how to hate uniden alarms alot more

Another option is take it to one of our alarm sponsors AVS. They remove it for free and chuck in a 5.

I would, but don't have the money currently for a 5star avs alarm, which is the only one that'd be worth putting in.
