here's many places out there on the internet to get alarm diagrams, but I figured I would put the diagram along with a picture I took yesterday to help "put it together".
The car I worked on was a 2002 Type-S and will apply up to the latest model year of the body type
Here is the standard wire diagram
Description
Color
Location

Starter
Black/White
Ignition Harness

Shows power while key is at "START"
Ignition
Black/Yellow
Ignition Harness

Shows power while key is "ON" and "START"
Accesory
Black/Red
Ignition Harness

Shows power while key is "ON" only (this powers the Air/Heat)
- The driver and passenger doors have seperate trigger wires, you MUST use diodes to properly isolate these to the alarm. Diodes are cheap (like $1.50 for a 3 pack at Radio Shack).
- Most alarms have a jumper or setting or input to change Parking Light polarity from (+) to (-), but this is set to positive output by default!
- Good luck mounting the siren! I swore and cursed and cut up my hands pretty good mounting and running the wire for the siren. The RSX engine bay is one of the most cramped and unforgiving engine bays I have ever dealt with, and i have done hundreds of alarm installs. While I did not do it in this install, I'd suggest pulling off the front nose for mounting and running of the wire
- Definitely pull off the "clamshell" housing around the steering column (it's 3 quick phillips screws) for better access to the ignition wiring and just more room to worj with in general under the dash there
