Alarm function with evo-fort1 combo used as stand alone remote starter

Question

I have an evo-fort1 combo on order. Primarily for stand alone remote starter.  I have a 2011 F150 without factory alarm.  I'm looking at the newest rev. of guide 10981 for my install and wondering about the alarm function.  

Will I be able to enable it with the required ford firmware?

Is there a guide for this? I haven't come across one yet.

There is no wiring to the horn or a siren shown in guide 10981 as there is in 12971.   Ideally, I'd like to combine the two wiring diagrams, but some of the wire functions are different...  :)    For example green A4 either horn  or unlock, depending on the guide.

Thanks

You will be following both guides that you mentionned. There is no guide that includes both Alarm and Remote starter connections.

• Guide 10981 is the remote starter installation, you will not need to do the LOCK and UNLOCK connections since you are using the unit as a 3xLOCK starter. Those connections are only used if using an RF-KIT.
• Guide 12971 is to be used afterwards, connection C. This is the Alarm setup. The 20-pin connectors inputs/outputs will prioritize to what is in this guide once the EVO-ALARM option is enabled in the EVO. So as you mentionned, that A4 connection, would actually now be a Horn output and not a Lock output. Thank-fully you will not need the Lock ouput.

Get the remote starter portion done first. Then start looking into the Alarm feature.
