Wiring Harness question for a 2012 CM

I am looking for where the factoty Alarm system mount it. I have a DIY to mount a little horn-type sensor to make the car "beep" when I lock and unlock it.

The only thing that I am missing is "where the factory alarm plugs into the car wiring harness."

If you know, please pass it along. if it works I will for sure pass along the FIY with updated pictures.

Those who insist on having the beep noise associated with the locking of the car tend to tie it into the wires behind the gas cap cover as that solenoid is actuated when the car is locked.

Your car will not have the proper wiring for an alarm and thus you might not be able to plug into it like you intend for lock and unlock.

Thanks for the info! I think I will look into the gas cap concept.
