The Red wire is a constant live, the black/blue is to the ignition circuits, the yellow is accessories, ie your radio, hope this helps.

Yeah but i need 2 wires, 1 for the ignition and 1 for the starter. The wires i have are a red one, yellow one, a black one and a blue/black one. From what i can work out i think i need to use the black one for the ignition on the alarm and the blue/black one the the starter. Hope this makes sense and if anyone could let ne know this is correct that would be great.

Red is 12v+ from battery,
Black feeds ignition relay in fusebox.
Black/Blue is to the starter motor. (this can also sometimes be either black/red or black/yellow).

Hope this helps..
