Passive arming alarm with turbo timer

[Ryan]

pin 58 is the speed wire for the greddy full auto turbo timer correct? the wire is yellow with a blue or green line well on my msp the wire in 58 point is yellow with a blue or green line is that correct, i dont wanna do this unless i know for a fact.

okay so back to the major question can you get us some pics and maybe a how to on fixing that alarm to auto arm after the car cuts off?

If you remove the "brain" for the alarm and unscrew the back, you will see four "dip switches" at the bottom of the circuit board. These are 1-2 off, 3-4 on. Simply switch 2 to on and your alarm will passively arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. With the turbo timer, just lock the doors manually as you leave the car and when it shuts off the alarm will arm itself 30 seconds later.

he couldnt have explained it any better, imho

no s*** but its alot different when you get ther eand to see what he's actually talking about cuz there is alot of s*** under that colum. does he mean the hting thats has a white pull tie wrapped around it or does he mean the black box with what looks to be a nob you can adjust, you cant be sure unless you see what he's atalking about. so a picutre would help to know what it is exactly im looking for.

So what would happen if I were to arm the alarm with the remote(if I switched to the passive arming)??

 

[Ryan]

i think it all works as normal just if the ignition is cut off the will automatically arm the car in 30 seconds. but im not sure, i just wanna know what box he's talking about to be sure im takign out the right thing :\

ryan man....reading your posts is fun as hell because it sounds like you are on speed or something

 

[Ryan]

LOL, i have a.d.d. short attention span in otherwords i jump from subject to subject without warning

I was the one that told you that Ryan. I thought because the greddy book says it needs a voltage signal from that switch it wouldnt work. To me it looks like that wire just grounds out next to the handle on some kind of spring loaded switch. Since the book said it would need voltage not a ground, I figured that it wouldnt work.

But if people have it wired up and it works I guess it needs a ground not voltage.

I will need to wire that up as well.

Actually, that wire works as follows....it completes a circuit when the e-brake handle is released and reads 12v. When the e-brake is engaged, there is no voltage. Soo, that wire is reading 12v and turns off the turbo timer, which in turn kills the engine.

Me and my friend tested this wire with a multimeter, and that is in fact what happens

Here's pics of the outside of the alarm brain. It has a giant label on it that says: Mazda Vehicle Security Systems. The little black box with the knob on it is the shock sensor.

And the dip switches.

#1. does allow the horn to "toot" for a split second, rather quietly when the alarm is armed or disarmed.

#2. is for passive arming, but seems to arm the sensors selectively, i.e. not all the sensors all the time -- working on this one.

#3 & #4 working on these too, one is probably alarm duration, how long the horn honks after being triggered, 30 sec or 60 sec, but my neigbors don't like that test.

I will have these figured out soon,

Double post.

 

[Ryan]

so vega this box is located under the steering wheel or were is this box located? sorry im a bit confused now

 

[t3ase]

Under the steering wheel..

 

[Ryan]

okay hold up, i pulled the plastic peice under the sterring wheel looking around i dont see that box anywhere, is it under the steering colum? like were the harness to wire the turbo timer is?

 

[t3ase]

Loot for a tiny white knob attached to a box. It should be visible. There's also a red LED on the box, just start tapping on things and it may light up. ;P

 

[Ryan]

thats the shock sensor man, he's talking about the brain of the alarm system not the same thing.

 

[t3ase]

That *is* the brain, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[122 Vega]

look to the left, above the fuse box, left of the clutch pedal assembly. It's pretty big, you should see it right away. Look at the first pic I posted, it is obviously not the tiny shock sensor. It is about 8"x6" with a giant white label on it.

And I'm mistaken.
