My planning thread.. (part 1)

Well, I bought my TSX on Sat., it's getting prepped in the morning, and I'll pick it up at lunch. yay!

So, goal number one is to get the stereo going...and window/sun roof control....I'm not sure, at the moment, how extreme I want to get with the trunk, but now that I have something to start measuring, the planning will begin!

Hopefully, some pictures and progress reports will soon follow...

Are you trying to make them all one-touch open/close or something?

That sounds interesting. How do you plan on doing that?

I have some Directed Electronics window control units at home, I'll have to buy one more for the sunroof.

The units will make the switches one touch. plus the units have "aux in" for open and close so you can connect them to the alarm. In this case, the factory alarm has some kind of output because it will lock the doors and blink the lights on arm, so that should be easy. the only part that may be hard or not possible is adding the sunroof opening.

Getting the wires into the doors will probably be hard too, but I've done it before, I should say, I did it in my 2000 Integra. I'm hoping is easier or not any harder then that.

Actually, it could be both easier and harder.

In the TSX, due to the MUX electrical system, you would be best off if you put one module in each door, and ran only Power, Ground, and trigger into the boot. I assume the units you have are 530Ts?
