sinkrun Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just bought a 2001 XJ with power locks and looking for advise on the skill level needed to install one and what brand to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I put one on both my '88 XJ and my former '96 XJ. I bought the Crimestopper SP-400 system, brand new on Amazon for around $75 in 2011. Works great and I've never had a problem with it. I installed it myself but it did take me the better part of a day, each, to wire them up. Not hard if you have a pretty good understanding of electrical and wiring. Best thing I can recommend is make yourself a chart to match up each wire from the RS system to the Jeep's harnesses.A good resource is the12volt.com. http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/alarmdetail/1214.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 if I remember right, around here you can get them installed for about 100 or a little less. no freezing your hands off while fiddling with wires. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinkrun Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 I am going to have to check more places on prices. A friend nearby me was told 375.00 for a silverado no way am I paying that. If I can find 100-150 I would just let a shop do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automan2164 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 What Pete said. Part of my job includes setting up squad cars and installing the computers, lights, cameras, and emergency systems, but I still had mine done at a local vehicle accessory shop. For the $100-$150 they charged for the install I thought it was a good deal. No removing panels and tracing wires, no freezing fingers...

Two screws at the bottom and the top pops off. Two more screws that hold in the metal kick panel and the entire wiring loom that the remote start requires is right there.

The Yellow wire in the loom is the start wire. If you want to tie into lock and unlock for remote start you will need to run over to the passenger side fuse/junction block.

Automan2164 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Off the top of my head, you will need to grab: Power Ground Ignition Starter Brake switch Door lock/unlock Door ajar Ignition signal (injector pulse) Running lights for outside acknowledgement Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two relay wires for the locks at the driver's door switches that go by the steering column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
