So, I picked up a Clifford 50.7x a month or so back (I think I recently mentioned that), and I’m finally getting around to installing it. The main power wires and door monitor are hooked up, but I still need to do the door locks, defroster, trunk release, horn + siren, and hood + trunk monitors. And figure out what I’m gonna do with the three remaining channels (I’m thinking seat heaters, all windows up, and maybe all windows down). Overall, I’m pretty impressed with the system. There’s a lot of flexibility, and the LCD feedback remote is top-notch.
I also found that the $16 soldering gun at O’Reilly Auto sucks. It burned up in my hand the first time I used it – all the magic smoke came out at once, and it never did get hot enough to melt solder. The Craftsman super-mega gun, however, can heat up two 10 gauge wires within a few seconds. That’s neat. :)
