Bump. Sorry to keep bugging you William. I was wondering if you had the chance to spend any more time on this. If so, did you come across anything? Thanks.

Unfortunately I have been getting home so late this week I have not been able to play with the alarm for fear of pissing of the neighbors.
Definately will get to it Saturday
Sorry for the delay.

I finally got a chance to test it out on my car and all works exactly the way it says it should in the users guide. Although it is a little tricky - took me 3 or 4 times to get into properly.
Send me a PM with your address and I will see if I can find an extra alarm module to send you.

A quick update on this matter to make this thread complete:
I was finally able to successfully program the alarm module. The trick was that the door needed to be closed while the wire was being grounded. It's difficult to see and reach up into that area where the wires are, so previously I was kneeling on the ground with the door open to make it easier to look up into and access this area. Then, after it was grounded, I'd get in the car and close the door. For whatever reason, the alarm doesn't like this sequence. You have to ground the wire while the door is closed. Because of this I would suggest to anyone with this alarm to incorporate some type of switch or similar setup for this wire. That way you can simply reach up under the dash area and flip a switch to ground the wire when needed without having to see what you're doing. Because you certainly won't be able to sit in the driver's seat w/ the doors closed and see up under the dash to disconnect a wire and ground it... unless maybe you're a contortionist.
At any rate, it's a small detail, but it was important. Now everything works flawlessly. Thanks to William for being patient and helping me out, and everyone else who offered advice. William even offered to send me a whole new unit, so thumbs up to him for that. I don't know if he's still in the business of selling these alarms, but they work great and even come with install instructions (complete w/ pictures) tailored specifically for the s2000.

Yeah, that probably would make life a little easier. Good suggestion.

Here is a link to WLaurent's install instructions in case anyone is curious about them or would like to use them as a reference.

And again, the sequence of grounding the green keyless entry wire is important. Do it while the doors are closed.... or like PJK3 suggested above, hold in the door trigger button while doing this. This step only applies to the programming sequence of the alarm.
