> [@Ka24](#): > > my car had a stock alarm before its a 1989 and i got another alarm and want to install it if sum1 has a wiring diagarm or if i can just plug it into the stock harness i would like to know… thanks In regards to a Factory Alarm That option was only available starting from 1995. You defiantly have an aftermarket alarm in there and with spelling and grammar like that I highly recommend you get it professionally installed. ---

yeah there was no real factory alarm until 95, and that one still sucks ass, but there were dealers installing alarms at the time i was able to find listings for dealer installed security packages in soem old brocures… but i bet you don’t have that… also they must have been doign cd changers…cause i’ve seen 2-3 coupes with the same “antique” 12disc changer my car had it it before… installed the exact same way which came from the same dealer as my own car… ---
