Installed a new alarm - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #6409 11 posts Started by 97sccelica
took about 4 hours to do mainly because i had to figure out which wire went where and ran into some problems. also took a dinner break

its really cool. has remote start and a turbo timer feature. after i got fed up with trying to figure ouyt the wiring i came to this site and found instructions!!

now if you are a small guy, it would be a hell of a lot easier to install than it was for me. i had a really hard time fitting down by the pedals and i hurt my back but in the end, it was worth it. i was not going to pay $160 to have the $100 alarm installed, lol.

im still not done though, i have to find a better mounting place for the antenna and i cut one of the wires to my boost gauge and it doesnt light up anymore. i'll take care of that tomorrow.

Sounds cool man. What kind of alarm is it?

Also, for your turbo timer feature, when it turns off the car, does it turn off the headlights as well if you leave them on?

Yeah i was looking at that one too, hows the LCD look? Big pager? weight?

I liked that feature where the lights shut off automatically but now with the timer i gotta turn them off manually.

I've tried so hard to isolate the wire that controls just the driver's side door pin in order to do this, but I haven't had any luck. I guess I'll just rip out the backseat and the side panel to tap directly into the wire from the sensor sometime. >wink.gif>

My lights go off when I open the door, but they don't flash with arm/disarm.

i am awesome
man thats one of the coolest features of our celica's I think, the open the door and lights go off thing...

Whats the range on the pager thingy?
Mine kinda sucks, It has probably like 200 feet actual paging signal, but it can arm and disarm it from probably a quarter of a mile away.
