Has anyone installed an aftermarket alarm system on their Crossfire?
I'd like to install a 2-way system with microwave motion sensor and all the other goodies (including remote start). Looking at a Compustar system.
I know the door locks use a pneumatic control system and wondered if anyone had any installation experience, diagrams and color codes they can share. Please help me figure this out!
I've searched this subject (on this forum) and came up with nothing.

 

I've done one and have tech info at my shop. I'll stop by tomorrow and compile some info for you.

Best site for this type of information is bulldog security, they have wiring instructions for even the most exotic cars... I think it's just http://www.bulldogsecurity.com

 

I just went to the 'bulldog' site - the info there matches up with the info on my program with no discrepancies as far as I can tell , go for it. The only real problem with aftermarket security and the Crossfire for me is the Giant key. With no valet key available (according to my dealer) you're stuck carrying effectively two remotes. I recently had a local locksmith cut a mechanical key for my ignition so I can at most carry one remote. I will have to do some extra work in the form of relocating the transponder pellet out of my stock key to a box in the dash that gets energized off my remote start only. The other thing I'm working on is "rfid" technology . I have a transponder tag on the way that is designed for sub-dermal implantation. As soon as I get it implanted in my right hand and complete the interface between the rfid reader and my ignition and security module I should be totally keyless. This will be sooo cool...

We've had a thread about security / alarm system a while back in 2004 and some say remote start don't work in our crossfires or rather Merc platform!

 

Cyril; this is a pretty basic , o.k. - the most basic Benz platform and is as simple as most immobilizer - equipped cars nowadays.

 

Thanks for the info. Following is a link to the printable Crossfire wiring diagram for anyone in need.
