anyone know how to install a varad LED scanner?

i'm interested in getting that LED scanner from varad, ive seen some cars with em and i think it looks pretty neat, does anyone here have one and did this mod? if so can you please tell me how i can wire this up to the stock g35 coupe's alarm? i want it to go on when i arm my car and go off when i unlock my car, or a better way if anyone else can think of one... like the leds will go on when the cars ignition is on the off position and will go off when the car starts...

also where would be a nice place to mount this scanner in the coupe, im trying to find the perfect place...

i was thinkin along the top of the drivers side door near the side mirros kind of. mount it right there.

for those of you who dont know what im talking about, its this...

The scanner should have three wires: 12vdc, ground, and (-) when armed input. Wire the 12vdc to 12volts, the ground to ground, and the (-) when armed to pin 87A of a standard automotive relay. Wire pin 30 and 86 to ground and pin 85 to ignition. With this setup the scanner will be activated until the relay is energized by the ignition turning on. Pin 87 will be left unattached.
