Turbo timers and car alarms
Turbo Mini Forums

Spent an hour this afternoon fitting a turbo timer I had when I had my Renault 5, all is fine with the exeptin of my car alarm, the alarm has "last door arming" so when the ignition is off and doors open then closed automatically arms, the prob I have now is the ignition is now on when I get out of the car so when the timer switches off it still thinks Im sat in there. Not a problem as I can arm manually when the timer cuts out. My problem with this is impatience, waiting for timeout to arm the alarm. So I was thinking is there a way I could intergrate a relay of sorts into the interior light cicuit, so when the timer cuts out makes and brakes the circuit (as it would when opening and closing the door) to give the signal for the alarm to arm? Any thoughts?
Cheers in advance

throw the turbo timer in the bin :) then the alarm will work fine

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Hi,
I think you could do it with a relay with a built in timer, look at RS.
However I'd also say take the timer off, just drive steady for the last 5 mins then switch it off and arm the alarm.
Cheers,
