Yup, this mod is great! I too noticed having my music with bass on made the alarm "honk" until the TT shut the car off.noclue119 said:

i have my sensor pretty sensitive.
although it does beep sometimes when the car shuts off, it never goes off because of my exhaust......and it is pretty deep.
actually none of the exhausts i've heard are loud at idle so it should be ok.

The starter kill still works. The wires that kill the starter are the two larger guage wires going to your alarm module via the smaller plug (if you are in doubt you can unplug this an try to start your car it won't work). The wire you cut is only a +12V sense. It does not directly affect your starter in any way. Another safety function on this is that you wire your TT up to your e-brake. Then if anyone releases the e-brake your timer shuts off your car automatically.
i pretty much have 0 knowledge of alarm systems and stealing cars as well as how you guys figured that out (i guess its easy once you know), but i do understand how it works now thanks to all the info. one question kept popping up in my head while reading this .... with all that info, especially the diagram on the alarm box, how easy would it be to steal our cars ? I know there is no such thing as an unstealable car and that some people can steal any car they want in 10sec but anyway, with what jurgs01 just said
i'm just a little concerned with the fact that the alarm system diagram is printed on the box =\ but like i said, i dont really know how these things work. maybe having the diagram on the box doesnt change anything ?
help =)
does that mean that cutting those wires would get rid of the starter kill or something like that ?jurgs01 said:

Don't worry about it. The starter kill is the 2 wires that are alone on one plug. If they cut those wires they wouldn't be able to start your car (if you have any doubts unplug those wires from your alarm box and try and start your car, it won't work). When your alarm is set off your ignition is disarmed, and the only way to enable the starter is by reseting the alarm box (like pushing unlock or lock on your keychain). What those wires do is complete a circuit to your starter. If the alarm is set off they break that circuit. Cutting them would break that circuit as well. Like you said, if someone really wants to steal your car there is always a way. Most average criminals are looking for the easy way to do it (I imagine most don't even have a basic knowledge of electrical principal that's just something you see on the movies), and if they see a deterrant they go to an easier target. Oh, and those wires aren't the wires you cut to allow you to arm your alarm (orange wire pin 6 completely different). That wire just tells your alarm whether your starter is in the on position, and has nothing to do with the circuit to the starter.Metal MP5 said:
Installed mine last night. Aside from the assload of wire I have because I didnt have my dremel to install it in a real way (its sandwiched under the steering column) my GReddy FATT is install, and the keyless entry/alarm work. Thanks everyone for the help in this thread.
