The purpose of an alarm is to keep honest people honest...
Right... but my point is "why help the rank amateur know which wires to cross/ground/apply power to"?

Lemme put it this way... As an owner of a similar make/model/year vehicle, I would rather see some sort of safeguard in place to keep this kind of information out of the hands of the general public.

My truck would be WAY down on the list from yours of vehicles to get into, but... that's not gonna stop someone with step-by-step instructions in their hands. And if it happened, it would be no less of a real PITA to deal with the loss of my daily driver/trail rig and everything in it.
