installing an alarm on the Is200 is tricky mate if you can get hold of the mnual i can offer some help as i have a clifford installed on mine
the hardest part you will find are
The door locks
The boot popper
Immobiliser

Most alarms have 2 manuals, the user manual and the installer manual. You'll need the 2nd one, which are normally a bit more difficult to get hold of.
And if it's thatcham certified the 4 immobiliser wires will be black, so you'll need more than just the wire colours to know what's what!

Careful if you are required to have cat 1 cover for insurance, they will require an approved installation certificate

Yarr, but you can get a self-install certified at a thatcham approved installer or dealer. Usually costs about £30 for them to look over what you've done and write out a certificate saying it's OK. They will be mega picky though, the basic thatcham rules are:
Alarm unit should be secured to a bulkhead using tamper proof screws, preferably inside a metal case, somewhere hard to get to
All joins should be soldered and sealed with heatshrink
NO SCOTCHLOCKS
Wiring should look as stock as possible

Same here
None of the companies actually stick to the rules when they do an install, but they will use it to fail a 3rd party install that they had no involvement with, as it generates them some work!
