So today I decided to do the turbo timer/ stock alarm mod and it doesnt work. This is the instructions I used http://ca.dsm.org/FAQ/2gtt-faq.html. Can some body look at this and see if there is something missing? I followed this to a "T" and when I go to test it, everything works like I did nothing to it. The turbo timer counts down normal and the alarm wont arm till the TT counts out.

I double and tripple checked all my connections. Checked everything with a volt meter.

Oh yeah, it is an HKS timer Type 1

Anybody?

sorry i can't help ya man, but does that work for aftermarket alarms also?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that IS the way it's supposed to work. The problem with the factory alarm is that when you put in a turbo timer it doesn't arm itself at all. If the car is arming itself after the turbo timer counts down then to me that would be correct. Now, I could be totally wrong, and I'd be very interested in the answer to this question as well. But, I have the Greddy TT and since I installed it I've never been able to get my factory alarm to kick on after the count down is complete. Of course I lock my doors, but I'd sleep better knowing my alarm was on too ...

EDIT: BTW, that's a great install link.

Well after my TT install my alarm still worked. As far as I understand this is supposed to make to where you can arm/lock the car while the TT is counting down.

Guess what? I found that link using the ssseeeaaaaarrrccchhhh :P

Amazing what the search button can do before posting .... :rolleyes

Maybe the HKS is different then, but with the Greddy TT my alarm is completely out of the picture unless I actually wait for the car to complete it's countdown and then lock up. I highly doubt it's a difference between turbo/non-turbo cars, the ignition sys. is the same.
