Hi,
The clip goes into the Top Latch located on the Windshield Header. It inserts where the Hook for the Top Latch would go to trick the Microswitch that the Top is in the Up position...

Yes, I can confirm that holding the microswitch shut with your finger (little finger) while locking the car does turn on the internal infrared system. The trick is that you have to hold the micro switch in, until after the car checks for anything open. If you watch the red LED on the dash top, you'll see that it flashes rapidly for about 10 seconds when you first lock the car, then slows down to about a flash per second. Hold the switch until the flash slows, then the car is armed, and you can walk away. If you want to test the infrared, keep in mind that it doesn't sound the alarm for about 2 or 3 seconds after you break the beam. So, toss a jacket or something on to a seat, then wait for a few seconds - the alarm should then sound.

Yes, but I can also confirm that someone breaking your window (with glass flying everywhere) won't activate the infared alarm. With the red clip you can still reach inside and drop a parking meter pre-pay ticket on the dash without the alarm going off. I think the infared is pretty worthless.....
