I bought an aftermarket alarm. Where would the best place to mount the control box be? I was going to stick it in the trunk but I read that the OEM one is behind the glove box. The kit comes with remote entry and remote ignition. Also, is there a "best" spot for the siren? Kruzen was telling me that his was mounted where the battery would go under the hood. My battery, however is under the hood. Thanks.

I have a small battery so I was able to bolt the siren right next to it. I ended up sticking the box above the knee bolster. So far I've just wired the main power and siren. Everytime I connect the wires to the box the siren goes off though :?
Axxe - I have a Prestige APS-996A. I saw it at my local Car Toys for $399. Ebay has it for ~$140. I would, however, not reccomend it. One wiring harness has 24 wires. The other has six. Its a PAIN to figure out.

just like everyone said already: put it under the knee bolster, if your alarm has an antenna (the one on my '85 does) then run it up inside your driver side a-pillar. my siren is next to my air filter (on both of my 318). i dont know what you drive but if its a 318 (any year e30) then there is a perfect spot right next to the air filter.'91 318is

Well, I am leaning towards this system DELTA DA-1005 Remote Start Car Security System. Anyone have experience with it?
