Which wire should I use Lock & Arm or Lock.

Question

I'm hooking up an evo-one with nis2 harness on a 2012 Nissan Xterra. The diagram shows purple and purple/white wires from evo going to arm and disarm wires. My car has both Lock and Unlock wires as well as Lock & Arm and Unlock & Disarm according to wirecolor. Which wires should I use?

Answer 1

They usually do separate things. If the arm/disarm wires also control your locks, use those. If they don't, does the OEM remote still function when the vehicle is running? If so, you can still use the arm/disarm wires anyway so the alarm disarms. Have you checked to see if the car actually has the content alarm? Put the drivers windows down, lock it up and let it sit for 60 seconds. Open the door from the inside handle and see if the horn blows. If not, doesn't have the content alarm anyway. Some do, some don't.
