Thanks for all your responses.  I had the alarm installed and the
installer had no problem installing the horn.  He crawled under the  driver's side
front end and installed it up there.  I now have remote door  lock/unlocks
including the sliding door.

My sliding door was not unlocking all the time when I opened the  driver's
door, about 50% of the time.  I took some fine steel wool and  cleaned the
contacts on both the door and the door channel and now the sliding  door
unlocks 100% of the time with the remote alarm thingy. Oh, be careful if  you
use steel wool to clean the contacts on the door channel, it caught my  steel
wool on fire twice, then I changed to fine sandpaper.

Bye the way, the only car that I ever had broken into at least in the past
ten years had no alarm.  All my other cars have an alarm with a blinking
light.

there's lots of room up in there to mound the alarm  horn.
It's good to drop the spare tire and wheel  now and then and  check it too,
of course.
