Wiring codes for CLK320?

Does anyone have wiring codes or a helm manual for a CLK320? The reason why I ask this is because I'm trying to add a shock sensor to the factory alarm.

I've successfully completed this on a acura tl and cl and trying to help a friend out w/ a CLK320.

I'm basically looking for the door or hood switch that I can use to tap from the shock sensor. and Also a constant power and ground.

The way this works is , if the sensor detects a shock or is triggered it will trigger the door or hood switch, thus the factory alarm will 'think' the hood or door was popped and set off the factory alarm. Which i think attracts attention better than after market sirens that everyone ignores.

Thanks!

You mean like if a cat jumps on the hood at 3am, or a loud truck drives by?

That's great. If you want a ricer alarm, buy a Honda Civic and get Wal-Mart to do the installation.

I hope you don't live in my neighborhood.

your EXISTING ALARM WILL ONLY protect you if the theif is dumb enough to open your door after he vandalizes your car.

This is esstentially the same thing as adding an aftermarket alarm w/out using the 'ricey' aftermarket sirens or systems you refer to.

As for the sensors I was planning on using Alpine or DEI sensors, along with a glass breakage sensor. Nothing rice about using high quality alpine or dei sensors. Actually I think its a much cleaner install since you still get to use your factory key fob.

Thanx for the warm welcome. We should meet up oneday. I live right around fairfax... May be you'll learn after someone ****s up your ride..

A thief would be stealing your car, a vandal would be damaging your car. In order to steal it, he's either going to have to open the door, go through the window, or tow it. No matter how much you pay for your "premium sensors", your are still going to have an annoying alarm.

If they are sensitive enough to detect someone spray painting your car, then they are sensitive enough to go off when a cat jumps on the hood. This constantly sounding alarm can serve to **** your neighbors off even more, thus causing further vandalism. There are many people already generally inclined against those who "have nice things", waking them at all hours of the night so your precious ride can be protected against leaves falling on the hood will do nothing for neighborhood relations.

If you don't want it vandalized, keep it in a garage. If you can't do that, I would suggest not pissing your neighbors off. I've never had my ride messed with, and I am not an ******* toward my neighbors.
