Code Alarm
I have a Code Alarm on my truck and want to add a microwave sensor. It already has the shock sensor. The shock sensor is an IR-s and the microwave sensor is a MV-3. The new microwave sensor has 4 wires just like the shock sensor. It came with a 4 wire wiring harness that has a Y in it so that both sensors can be hooked up. I'm guessing that the dual stage and dual zone send the same signals to the alarm so it doesn't matter if you have both.
My problem is that the connectors although 4 pin are different than the new wiring, so I want to splice the part of the new wiring that connects to the microwave to the existing wiring of the shock. The wire colors are different. My existing shock sensor wiring is black, red, brown, orange. The new wires are red, black, green, blue. I need to know which color wires match up to each other. Can some one that has more knowledge of car electronics help me out?

Well, I think I finally figured out the wiring. I found a diagram that shows what the different wires for my alarms shock sensor are and the microwave sensor came with directions that tell what its wires are. So, black goes to black, red to red, brown to green, orange to blue.
My next question is where do I mount the microwave sensor? The directions and diagram say and show to mount it in the center of the vehicle and as low as possible. Since, my truck is a regular cab I was thinking under the seat. It says it needs to be at least an inch above metal surface and since the floor pans are metal, I guess I need to make a small bracket or something. I am wondering though if the metal components of the seat will cause it to not work correctly. There is no room under or behind the dash, that I can find. Does anyone have any ideas or input?
Has anyone else installed a microwave sensor in thier regular cab truck? Is so, where did you mount it? Does anyone have any ideas or input?
